Hi all, Well it's finally here. Firefox 1.0. Yeah, you probably already know, but for those that don't...
With an amazing history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox) of development, this little-browser-that-could has finally reached a milestone to be proud of. If you're as much of a Firefox buff as I am, maybe you might want to let some of your IE using visitors and friends know of this lightweight (4.7mb!), safer, feature packed alternative. I'll stop there before I sound too evangelical. Go here and grab it from the official website at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/, though http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1032985422/1 and http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Firefox/3000-2356_4-10335582.html?tag=lst-2- 4 might have it in your hands a little quicker. Download.com has registered nearly a million downloads! Holy Toledo! There are also a couple of Torrents running too: Windows version: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/win32/en-US/Fire fox%20Setup%201.0.exe.torrent Linux version: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/en-US /firefox-1.0.tar.gz.torrent If you're a web developer, you can't miss out on installing extensions like the > Web developer extension - a plethora of tools, too many to list! > Colorzilla - a colour picker and zoom tool, DOM inspector and more. > JavaScript debugger - Venkman JavaScript debugger in an extension. > IE View - View the current page in IE, for those stubborn sites built old OLD school, or for testing your latest creation. > FirefoxView - just like the previous extension, just in reverse! > Html Validator - works in the view source window, great when you're offline or at a client site with just a browser and <insert text editor of your choice>! Go and check them out at https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox, though the Firefox extension site may be a little busy for a while. One other thing I have noticed is that the native stylesheet switcher in Firefox has not made a comeback - however there is an extension out there called "Style Sheet Chooser" that has brought it back from the forgotten. Ok, that's all from me on the Firefox front. Hope it helps. Brendan.
