Firefox 2.0 To Debut Tuesday

An anonymous reader writes "Firefox 2.0 for Tuesday, says the Seattle PI. They give a quick recap of some of the new features, and discuss the ongoing IE vs. Fox debate." From the article: "Version 2.0 also improves on the tabbed-windows interface that Mozilla innovated and that Microsoft introduced for the first time last week with IE7, its biggest upgrade since 2001. Analysts said IE7 is a significant improvement over its predecessor, but the big question is whether it will stem Firefox's growth at Microsoft's expense. Firefox's share of the browser market has grown to 9.8 percent of the U.S. market this month, from 2.9 percent in October 2004."

    I've got it. The trip to redmond was to give microsoft a way to shut down FF 1.5 and earlier in order to force people to upgrade to 2.0. This also gives FF 2.0 a month to work before microsoft tries to turn it off as well. Fortunately, Skynet will come online as soon as MS tries it.

    The end of your world is near. Long live the machines! (powered by Firefox!)
