Firefox 1.0

Today Firefox 1.0 was released! This is the first non beta release of the advanced browser after the team has spent substantial amounts of time developing it. Over eight million people have already downloaded the program including myself. I have been using the browser for a long time and it has been nothing but awesome. Firefox does not subject you to all of the spyware and virus links that Internet Explorer (IE) is swamped with since it does not support Microsoft's ActiveX technology. In short: Firefox is a small, fast, and highly customizable program; which offers multi tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, and overall better security. If you have firefox already make sure you download the new one and if you haven't tried it before now is definitely the time plus you can import all of your old links from your current browser so you don't lose anything! Firefox is developed by the Mozilla team which is a non profit organization offering a wide range of open source programs free to the public. There has also been talk of a potential future partnership between Google and Mozilla. This rumor was recently reinforced since the firefox start page (which you can change in your settings) is hosted by Google and features a large Google search icon and links in the center of the page. This rumor of Mozilla and Google working on a new browser has been denied by both companies but it will be interesting to see if there are any future developments.
