Excellent! I, like many others, have been waiting for this release for a long time!

I find it interesting that Mozilla Firefox 1.0 was released for the Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms simultaneously. I thought the roadmap had called for an additional "0.11" version to be released for Mac OS coinciding with Firefox 1.0 for Windows and Linux, with the final 1.0 Mac version postponed until after any lingering user-interface and performance flaws exclusive to that port were weeded out.

Then again, the current Mozilla Firefox development roadmap doesn't say anything about that anymore, so the plan was probably revised.

Edit: The "20041108" build ID in my user agent string below is present because I was using a Mozilla Firefox nightly build from the day before Firefox 1.0 was released. Official Firefox 1.0 builds contain the build ID "20041107."

Has anyone any intentions of purchasing the book? I've the Netscape 7.2 book (and cd) but wondered, in looking at the Table of Contents for the Firefox book (pdf view) if it might be worthwhile.

Finally Firefox has reached it's 1.0 Milestone. As stated previously, this release has been anticipated by many, including myself. It seems to be very stable and fast. I really haven't noticed any new features in this 1.0 version from 1.0 Release Candidate 2. Overall, I am very pleased with this Milestone.
Here are the Release Notes for Firefox 1.0.

IE users, what are you waiting for? Get Firefox. Web browsing pleasure guaranteed!




This release is even newsworthy enough for the BBC to report on it!

It looks like www.spreadfirefox.com has been downgraded to text-only to cope with the traffic. I'd like to see the browser shares at the end of this month; I beleive we'll see some interesting things.

It might have been me, but www.mozilla.org was acting extremely slow this morning around 8AM EST. And, Mozilla's FTP server was next to inaccessable. I don't know for sure, but was that them or me?

Now I have a question.

The Linux version of 1.0 now contains a Mail button. Is there something that should be added to about:config or something else, so that once it is clicked, it will launch Thunderbird automatically?
