oh joy. the servers are probably being raped, but its worth the time to dl later in the day.

Hopefully they've fixed all the crashes and denials I was getting with the Version 1.0 preview release.

i think there's a reason its called a "release candidate".

im loving firefox … kind of frustrating how I can't access some stuff (specifically, yahoo's fantasy football stattracker), but i can always use IE for that.

the tabbed browsing is great, and their extensions/plug-ins are unreal, especially the ad-block and the weather.com thing.

GEEK ALERT!

I dunno…I've always been happy with my good ol' IE 4.0.

Cause you just don't know. Firefox is so much better than IE. And no crappy pop up windows. Plus the tab window browsing is great…

i think mouse gestures are the real hidden gem here.

NERDS!

It's called SARCASM….c'mon redsock you shoulda seen that from a mile away…IE 4.0 is like 7 years old!

Typing this in firefox 0.8 browser….

Oh, and fwiw, it's easy enough to get rid of popups using an IE browser.

Microsoft says Firefox not a threat to IE.

hoo-boy. nice one.

anyway, got this one off /. (surprise surpise). browsing their site at -1 filter is the intarweb at its finest.

Just like how Greyhound wasn't worried about the Chinatown bus, right?

Could it be more like Bush's blunderings aren't a threat to Republican domination… there are enough sheep out there that Microsoft doesn't have to worry?

i'm very happy now that the googlebar has been updated for firefox… this was the one thing that was lacking for OS X and safari and now it's available :)

"Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find." ARGH This alone is enough reason to NOT use that browser. I despise when software thinks it knows better than I do how I should use my computer. Saving stuff directly to the desktop SUCKS!

uh… did you try tools/options/downloads? you can tell it where to store downloads or have it prompt you

That would have been too easy. :p

Nope I havent tried anything actually. I am satisfied with how IE functions. But it does look like FF is a fine alternative for those who prefer something else. I just hate it though when software uses such horrid defualts as saving to the desktop. Thats so AOLish! :)
