MennoniteHobbit Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/mirrors.html for a list of mirrors. Spread the word. Use FireFox 1.0.
PR-0927 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Originally posted by Pie™ it's been out some time, i have it Word. The New York Times has an advertisement for it today!!
Datheus Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Pie and Majin, you must mean the prerelease. Firefox 1.0 was released today. I imagine you have 1.0PR (PR means PreRelease). I'm sure they are similar, but 1.0 probably has a few minor bug fixes to give it a nice finish, as compared to 1.0PR / Edit / Here are the changes from 1.0PR (aka 0.10.1) to 1.0
Alegis Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 There were a lot of fixes, just unnoticeable..but at least you wont need 100+ security patches etc. I'm glad the new yorks time campaign had great results (10 000 names instead of the expected 2500) and I sure hope FF's percentage will increase on the web As for spreading the word, i already am
Mex Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 I bet MS is gonna try releasing some big patch some time soon to try and get some users back.

I think this said it was preview too... oh well =/

edlib Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Already put it on all my Wintel machines today,.. but can't get it to install on my Linux box. Version .93 ran just fine on it, but 1.0 gets an error message about being unable to create a directory... and I'm too much of a Linux newcomer to troubleshoot the problem. I'll give it another shot on Thursday.
Samuel Dravis Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 I love Firefox. Seriously, I used Netscape 7.1 before, and Firefox beats it up with a stick. There's no comparing it to IE. They're just not even in the same category.

Kylilin Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 I am seriously wondering why FireFox is better than IE, I actually really don't know. Could someone tell me why I should get FireFox?
ZBomber Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Originally posted by Kylilin I am seriously wondering why FireFox is better than IE, I actually really don't know. Could someone tell me why I should get FireFox? IE has security flaws. And this has tabbed browsing, which means less windows.
Agen Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Faster, Less memory whoring, No known security flaws compared to M$'s disgrace, Tabbed, More space for viewing, it's cleaner etc., Built in googlebar with no semi-adware, Auto Popup Blocker, Built in Download Manager, better integration with thunderbird (mozilla e-mail) than IE does with outlook and does everything IE can but better I'm sure there's more but that's just off the top of my head.
