Firefox 1.0

Many Athors, Nov 09, 2004

The wait is over. Firefox 1.0 has officially launched - the Firefox website is staggering a bit under the load but you can still get in to upgrade now. Oh, and in case you have any doubts, I am recommending that you switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox now. Today. Here's a guide that tells you how to switch. Yes, you'll have all your plug-ins - and the installer in Windows is almost seamless. It will import your Internet Explorer settings, like bookmarks. You'll find Firefox a lot faster, and you'll love browsing without popups or the risk of viruses. Once you've loaded Firefox, go to my home page and look in the lower right hand corner of the browser status window. You'll see an orange RSS button. Click on it and 'subscribe'. Now check your bookmarks - you will see that my RSS feed has become your bookmark, updated daily. Too cool. As for me - well, I didn't code the browser, but I've been with it since day one and pitched in with cash - so today feels a bit like my day too. This is the day we take back the internet - and not a day too soon.
