"The Mozilla Foundation today released Firefox 1.0, the first major new product release since the Mozilla Suite's 1.0 in June of 2002. Firefox 1.0 is the completion of roughly 2 years of work on the revolutionary new browser, which has raised the Mozilla Foundation's profile greatly in its year of existance. The release follows up the hugely successful Preview Release which had over eight million downloads."
I have been a big fan since an early Beta, so I just want to wish the FireFox team every success with their assault on IE. They have a quality product, and it deserves all the recognition it can get.
(I use it in parallel with IE daily, and would not hesitate in recommending it.)

While we are on the subject of Mozilla, I can highly recommend their email suite Thunderbird. I use this instead of Outlook and it rocks, more importantly it is not susceptible to security problems like the M$ product. This goes for Firefox too. You want safer browsing, get Firebird. Not to mention its better interface and its abundance of plugins and developing tools

Originally posted by FeivelI'm not sure how it is. According to some sites first there was Phoenix, then there was Firebird and now it is Firefox. I think the browsers were developed from one another, but whether that was planned from the beginning I don't know. Can't check it; mozilla.org is still down.
One of the betas?

I think the name "Firebird" was owned by somebody else so they changed it to Firefox.
From what I've read on the Mozzilla site, Firefox isn't inherently more secure than IE, it's just less studied by hackers.
I like the pop-up blocker, it cuts out the annoying "set your edition" pop-up on CNN, for example.
