Out!

Dave!Hooray! The Mozilla Firefox browser has finally reached 1.0 release! If you're a MacOS X user like me, you're probably perfectly happy using Safari to browse the web... but there's always that occasional site that doesn't seem to work properly, which is why it's good to have Firefox sitting in your Applications folder. It's fast, friendly, does a great job, and may just become your browser of choice.

Of course, if you're a Microsoft Windows victim that's been suffering with Internet Explorer, then Firefox is a dream come true... it's a superior product in every way that will finally display the web the way designers meant for it to be seen, and protect you from spyware and other nastiness the IE invites. Go download it right away.

Firefox!

Happy as I am, I have to admit that every time I read some blog saying "FIREFOX IS OUT," something entirely different comes to mind...

Congratulations to the entire Mozilla team for a job well done!

I have issues with Firefox. I use it on ebay because IE tends to give up after a while and not display the pages at all. But I can't use it with Movable Type, as the bold/italic/url buttons just don't show up! Oh, and Firefox chews up far more system resources than IE. When I'm low on memory I have to wait tens of seconds just for the window to come back up.

Hmmm... maybe it's because I'm using the Mac version, but creating an entry in MT works perfectly. What version of MT are you using? I notice that in the one I am using (3.121) that there are no buttons... just regular old text links to perform bold, italic, etc.

Once I started to use Firefox's Adblock extension, it was enough to make me swear to never use IE again, except when absolutely necessary in order to render pages correctly. Adblocking is one of the many FF treats.
