Hopefully they've fixed all the crashes and denials I was getting with the Version 1.0 preview release.

im loving firefox ... kind of frustrating how I can't access some stuff (specifically, yahoo's fantasy football stattracker), but i can always use IE for that.
 
 the tabbed browsing is great, and their extensions/plug-ins are unreal, especially the ad-block and the weather.com thing.

Cause you just don't know. Firefox is so much better than IE. And no crappy pop up windows. Plus the tab window browsing is great...

It's called SARCASM....c'mon redsock you shoulda seen that from a mile away...IE 4.0 is like 7 years old!
 
 Typing this in firefox 0.8 browser....
 
 Oh, and fwiw, it's easy enough to get rid of popups using an IE browser.

Microsoft says Firefox not a threat to IE.
 
 hoo-boy.  nice one.
 
 anyway, got this one off /. (surprise surpise).  browsing their site at -1 filter is the intarweb at its finest.

Just like how Greyhound wasn't worried about the Chinatown bus, right?

Could it be more like Bush's blunderings aren't a threat to Republican domination...  there are enough sheep out there that Microsoft doesn't have to worry?

i'm very happy now that the googlebar has been updated for firefox... this was the one thing that was lacking for OS X and safari and now it's available  :)

"Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find."  ARGH This alone is enough reason to NOT use that browser.  I despise when software thinks it knows better than I do how I should use my computer.  Saving stuff directly to the desktop SUCKS!
