It was exactly one year ago we got Firefox version 1.0

ZDNet UK has a short story about Mozilla Europe's reply to missing celebrations at http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/applic ... 238,00.htm

Mozilla.org has a press release on 1 year of Firefox. Happy Birthday Firefox!

There may not be any big party, but there's some sort of celebration going on at spreadfirefox.com.

By my guess, there are a bunch of college dormmates at MIT and other technical schools celebrating too. I guess I'll see if that's true when I look out the window to find a big Firefox logo firework/pyrotechnic in the sky, knowing MIT.

Indeed ! And the Slovenian users should be celebrating too. Why? Check here.

The pages that the link goes to seems to display quite oddly in all of the browsers I use (Netscape 7.2, Mozilla 1.7.12, Firefox 1.07, IE). In the gecko based browsers, the maps overlap a lot of page, obscuring underlying text and photos. IE displays the maps farther down but has several "red x" spots in the right margin.

Anyone else see this strange behavior?

Not me, except the images included in the middle column seem to be a bit too wide in my opinion.

In my case (without any Sidebar open & res.1024 x 768) it looks pretty much normal.

That Spread Firefox page looks fine to me...



But then again, I run at a resoultuion of 1152x864. When I used 800x600 on Windows 98 SE, I encountered all kinds of problems on the Spread Firefox site related to wider images in the middle of the page overlapping the right side bar.

It probably is an issue of my screen resolution which is normally set at the fairly low setting of 800 x 600. I had not considered the screen resolution when I made my initial post.

I thank the posters who mentioned screen resolution.

I usually have my browser at width around 800 pixel wide. Although my screen is wide format, but I really don't like to have browser or any single application occupying entire space.

(SillyDog701 is designed with 800 x 600 screen resolution in mind.)
