New FireFox 0.8 (aka Firebird)

[bagga]

Hey, check it out. The newest browser from the Mozilla gang is out!
Man it's alot better, one of the best improvements is that now it knows what to do with all those problematic file types, like .WMA, and the others.
Plus the download manager has been revamped and it's faster and delete actually works now if you're into that kind of thing.

Anyways, here's the link!

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

The whole Mozilla site is lagged right now, but I guess that's a good sign! It's getting recognized! As usual, support what isn't
Micro$oft. Personally I haven't used IE in months; once you get the flash and java plugins installed, there is NOTHING bad about Firebird, or now FireFOX.

Give it a try guys! Don't be another Micro$ucky Llamma :snip: BRRAAAAWWWWWRRR

Laters,

as long as it is still the same great browser I've been using since it was called phoenix, I'll be happy.

0.8 was due last month, but I'm excited that it's finally arrived :D

Sweet! :thumb: I didn't know Thunderbird 5 came out. I personally like the Firefox + Thunderbird much better than the whole inegrated Mozilla deal. It seems to be faster and more configurable.

But until I run into any probs or find anything IE6 can't do I'll stay with it and avoid unnecessary installs.. :)

Could be telling me that their 10kbit upload is getting hammered. :D

popup blocker rules on mozilla. I have it set to not allow any except for the sites I say, which is nice!!!
I finally downloaded firefox, took a little trying, but now i got it.
Mozilla =
IE is swiss cheese :thumbs do

Just got it installed, its nice for it to finally be an installer. Not to mention the fact it imports all your old Firebird settings. The DL manager is also a big plus for me being on dialup :D

I always liked Firebird... now they go change the name to FireFox. Just keeps getting better and better.:hammer:

OK, I just recieved an interesting question from an individual with some degree of visual impairment.

Does Firefox work with MS Agent characters?
