Title: Firefox 1.0 released today!
Post by: justjonny on November 09, 2004, 07:31:11 PM
Firefox is a free internet browser that doesn't use the IE engine.  It is faster, safer, and it is the way to escape from the evil microsoft internet explorer.  It has built in popup blocking and tabbed browsing!

Why Use Firefox?

"Beware of spyware. If you can, use the Firefox browser. (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/computersecurity/2004-09-08-zombieinfect_x.htm)” - USA Today

"Better than Internet Explorer by leaps and bounds. (http://www.forbes.com/2004/09/29/cx_ah_0929tentech.html?partner=tentech_newsletter)” - FORBES

Popup Blocking
    Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker.
Tabbed Browsing
    View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them. Find out more...
Privacy and Security
    Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.
Smarter Search
    Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there are a plethora of other search tools including Keywords (type "dict <word>" in the Location Bar), and the new find toolbar (which finds as you type and eliminates the annoying window that always seems to be in your way).
Live Bookmarks
    RSS integration lets you read the latest news headlines and read updates to your favorite sites that are syndicated. Find out more...
Hassle-Free Downloading
    Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.
Fits Like a Glove
    Simple and intuitive, yet fully featured, Firefox has all the functions you're used to - Bookmarks, History, Full Screen, Text Zooming to make pages with small text easier to read, etc.
S, M, L or XL—It's Your Choice
    Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. Customize your toolbars to add additional buttons, install new Extensions that add new features, add new Themes to browse with style, and use the adaptive search system to allow you to search an infinite number of engines. Firefox is as big or small as you want.
Setup's a Snap
    At only 4.5MB (Windows), Firefox takes just a few minutes to download over a slow connection and seconds over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers - so you can start surfing right away.

My son just upgraded my computer to Windows XP and told me to get Firefox 1.0 so I did. I really like it so far.

Firefox is an awesome browser.  Once you learn how to use tabbed browsing and the many other little features and extentions its great.

You should check out the other skins or "themes" people make for it.
