Firefox 1.0 released at last

(1/2) > >>

Bubba:
Although they haven't yet updated the links on the front page of Mozilla.org, here it is, the first public release:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/

Remember to uninstall your existing version version first.

btw -  if you don't delete the actual program directories, but just use add/remove programs to uninstall (assuming windows of course), the new version should detect your themes/extensions folders.

Bubba:
It's available from the normal place now:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Stubbs:
So I've downloaded it now, what is so good about it?

Bubba:
- Standards compliant :: it renders websites how they are supposed to be seen

- Secure :: any vulnarabilities are patched asap, unlike Internet Explorer which is now about 5 years out of date.

- Themes :: lots of cool themes for customisation of the look and feel

- Extensions :: you can customise it to do almost anything with the loads of extensions available (eg the bbcode extension for posting here).

- Tabbed browsing :: hardly a brand new feature these days but still better than IE

Stubbs:
je comprend - think i finally understand what the RSS thing is all about!
