I dont know about you lot but im looking forward to it

Hope all you are using firefox if not get it

hey thanks for the info and the link.

No problem its my new site but its a few hours made, but the news is pretty recent enjoy firefox if you dont have it so many addons for it

New Firefox Released today!

Is that really a surprise? They seem to be bringing out new versions every other day....

Hope all you are using firefox if not get it

Nahh, I'm using IE7. Far better

The last major version Mozilla had released was 1.0 (on Nov 9, 2004), all subsequent releases are mainly bug and security fixes. This upcoming release (1.5) brings many new features and improvements on top of the usual fixes, and incorporates a new update manager to ease the applying of future fixes/releases etc. So it's unfair to say that they are bringing out new versions every other day (though I could see how a major release about every year could seem almost daily if you are used to the immense time between IE releases ).

But back on topic, great news

Major release, minor release... still the same amount of upgrade hassle....

Yes, compared to the seamless security updates people experience with IE. It not incredibly hard, you just have to download and install over the old one -- but not as user friendly. The new update manager should fix all that.

I've been using 1.5 for a while now. Upgrades really are a cinch.

There are still a number of things I'd like to see improved in firefox though that arn't addressed in 1.5. Such as page caching and logical ctrl-tabbing through the tabs.

Well it's official now, check out Mozilla.com (yes, dot com! ).

the new release seems to have a lot of great features like support for Web Standards including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and JavaScript 1.6. Much better support for Mac OSX and better pop up blocking and security. etc...

I just downloaded FF last week. I guess I'm a week late. I'll try to get this new one. thanks for the link

Back up... NEW firefox!

hi all,

Belated Happy New Year to all.
I dunno if its just me, i have tried... a lot.. but i just cant geet very comfortable with FF, so this time i have uninstalled it and for good think time.. i think

ashsih I'm curious to know why you couldn't get comfortable with Firefox. A browser is really just a tool like any other piece of software and some of the choice in which we use is personal preference. Was it just being used to IE or was there something about FF you found difficult to use.

I've been using FF for about a year and a half now and I would never switch back. I do come with a little anit-microsoft bias and I'm a supporter of all things open source.

What I like most about FF is all the extensions that routinely come out. I've found several that I could no longer live without in my web development business. For me Firefox is much more than a browser. it functions as a development platform.

Firefox offers me more control over my browser than IE can at the moment though that may change with IE 7. Still I doubt IE 7 will offer quite as much as FF will.

The only reason I open IE anymore is test my sites for the majority who still do use IE. I don't mean to imply that IE isn't a good browser. It works well for many people and I'm sure will only improve in the future. I just think it will always lag a little in the features it offers as compared to other browsers.

I have used IE, firefox, opera and AOL (before I was good with comps). firefox was the only one I liked.
