Hello everybody. I just wanted to say that this is my first post using Firefox 1.0 , the new open-source browser.

I downloaded it today and started to play with it, and I must say that I like it.
It's seems to be a bit faster than Internet Explorer and it is not buggy.
There is also a "google bar" next to the address bar to help searching sites, very good idea.

I recommend it to everybody

May one day open-source software rule over the world!

I use mainly Netscape and Firefox.
There are only some problems with JavaScript for some sites.

Hmm. I'm still using FF 0.8. I don't really see a reason why I should update. Other people told me that 1.0 caused memory-leaks etc and some extensions don't work anymore.

Not anymore. Yesterday, they released final version 1.0. It's already installed on my PC.

0.8 has those tab-features too. Anyways, just upgraded to 1.0. One big plus is the speed of the GUI. It's a lot faster than 0.8 imo.

0.8 had some security issues. Firefox is legendary for not having IE's problems regarding to security, so having a version around there with these bugs needed to be fixed. That's where 1.0 comes in.

And yup it's faster, and yup some extensions stop working but it's only a matter of time while they upgrade them for the latest release!

Already installed on my server and linux partition as the default web browser.

I use the most secure web browsers when at work: LYNX!

I used Firefox when it was called Firebird and whatever was before it.

Opera is still the fastest browser on earth.

I've been using Firefox since 0.3, back when it was Phoenix.

maybe, but it cost 40$US and the free version have adds. So I prefer firefox.

me too. Too bad Opera is commercial. But Firefox is a great alternative, with a beautiful design, and an interesting extensibility.

For all of us who were trying 0.8,0.9 and pre1.0, RC1, and RC2...we've been Guinnea pigs!!! check this link:

But official 1.0 is the result of all these flaws getting tested!!!1
