Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5 (Final) + Firefox 1.1 Alpha 2

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5 (Final) + Firefox 1.1 Alpha 2

New features in Firefox include:
-Easy migration: Switching to Firefox has never been easier now that

Firefox imports data like Favorites, history, settings, cookies and

passwords from Internet Explorer. Firefox can also import settings

from Mozilla 1.x, Netscape and Opera.
-Smaller Download: Continuing efforts to make this the most efficient

browser, the Windows version of Firefox is now only a 4.7 MB download,

making downloading Firefox a breeze for dial-up and broadband users

alike.
-New Default Theme: A new default theme provides a bright new look for

Windows and Linux users.
SmartUpdate: A new SmartUpdate feature notifies users of new versions

of Firefox to ensure that the browser is always up to date.
-Help: A new online help system makes this one powerful, friendly

browser.
-Extension/Theme Manager: New Extension and Theme Managers provide a

convenient and secure way to manage and update the hundreds of add-ons

that set Firefox apart from other browsers.
Mozilla Firefox also includes numerous bug fixes and incremental

improvements, including faster page load speed.
-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.
-Smarter Search
Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there are a

plethora of other search tools including Keywords (type "dict " in the

Location Bar), and FastFind (start typing the first few letters of

some text in the page and Firefox takes you there).
-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.
-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 XL XXL XXXL
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 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox only takes minutes to download 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.
-A Developer's Best Friend
Firefox comes with a standard set of developer tools including a

powerful JavaScript and CSS error/warning console, and an optional

Document Inspector that gives unheard of insight into how your pages

work.
-Read Mail—Not Spam.

This is great news always loved firefox but switched to maxthon because of security issues discussed in so many forums. So now i shift back to Firfox. Till the next flaw and so on..................
Life ..........using a browser is tough. Does that mean we need to constantly keep a lot of browsers all the time. But seriously how many browsers does one keep on an average;;;
1.Internet explorer
2.Firefox
3.Maxthon - currently using and loving it......
4.Opera -- still not installed but downloaded.

Yes FIREFOX burns very hot

Yep firefox is zero risk, But also its sys heavy if used with too man extensions , i have about 22 and it takes about 0.30 min to load up on my 3.0 ghz ht processor

sorry but i dont get it. What exactly do you mean bby extensions??

^^
It's BBcoDe extension, with which we can format the text with BBcode which can be used in wesites and forums.

i guess firefox and flash dont go hand by hand thats why digit doesnt work on it

Huh? Not really, you have an official macromedia flash plugin for mozilla, but I think digit CD's have some internet explorer specific functions.

Mozilla Firefox for Windows 1.0.6 RC beta (Nightly Build)

*ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-aviary1.0.1/

Firefox 1.06 Final released

Cant understand what they are upto, they are releasing New versions of Firefox every other day. Yesterday it was the 1.0.6 RC version and today is the final version.

Here's what's new in Firefox 1.0.6:

*Improvements to API stability for extensions and web applications.

Download

if all of your extensions are working fine, then u don't need to upgrade

Now i dont think that Mozilla wod take more time to come up with a Firefox 7.04 or something.

Just read now that the version number of the next major update in the series is gonna be 1.5 and not 1.1. The 1.5 would be released in the September.

After all its all a number game and if they go on Releasing new version when new flaws are found, only the sky is the limit.

Check the Firefox Roadmap here

Just check that roadmap they actually have even started thinking and projecting about the 2.0 and the 3.0

Its explained in the home page itself. The Flash interface has some trouble with firefox.


I think tabbed brousing takes lots of mem. But still less than multiple pages in IE. The newest 1.0.6 is really fast.

Any way i ve forgotten my ie and i m using firefox 1.0.6...

Well, y dont they improve it (flash interface)
