Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive

Ivan Mark writes "Christopher Beard, the VP of products at Mozilla Corporation, told ZDNet UK on Monday that there is a 'strong likelihood' that Firefox 1.5, the next major version of the open source browser, will be released on 29 November. Beard said they are planning a 'big marketing push.' 'You will have real people telling you about Firefox's features-- what's cool and great,' said Beard. 'People can create the video and upload it to the Mozilla site. The video will then be reviewed and put on our Web site, with a link from their location.'"

Yeah but will it compensate for this?

This week I spent 15 minutes entering data on a car insurance comparison site. Just as the site (independer.nl) was finally ready to tell me the cheapest insurance for my situation...Firefox crashed.

Whenever I advise any of my friends and colleagues to switch, I hate to think what they'll do when they encounter something like this.

It's just another one of my friends who installed Firefox on a clean uninfected machine but ended up with bloated registry and alot of spyware. Also complained that completely removing Firefox was a pain in the ass to do.
