Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the selling-what's-already-free dept.

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 i use firefox. it's better than ie. but it does't seem to run on a user account. don't know why. does anyone have a fix for this? maybe 1.5 will work. yeah firefox crashes, so does ie. firefox also has this annoying way of removing the address bar when you're browsing. ie doesn't do this. still have to wait and see what microsoft do to curb firefox useage. does Gates care that people are using firefox?
