Mozilla's Firebird to be updated, Firefox 0.8

The name change due to another application having the Firebird name.

Some updates:- Download manager, extention and bookmark handling added, and a new Windows installer. Comes with built-in ad-banner remover and a spellchecker.

Download from http://www.mozilla.org

Marvellous application, but Linux people be aware: Download a version that was compiled against the gtk library. Googling for "firefox" and "gtk" should help. The standard version from the Mozilla website may crash very badly when exotic glyphs are on the page, and has no font aliasing.

I currently use Mozilla. Has anyone any experience of using the latest version of firefox?

I haven't used Mozilla for a long time now. I use Firefox on both Windows and Linux. It is great. Slim, fast, stable, and easy to use.

Just updated to the latest version of firefox. I use it as an alternative to internet browser, but I dont find it especially any better.

'but I dont find it especially any better'

That's because you seem to prefer to do things the difficult way 'visitor'

Firefox will remember all your usernames, and everywhere you've been. For instance if I want to sign in Elan Library, I only have to enter my reg number once, the next time, a couple of clicks and there it is, except for when you *helpfully* delete it all on *my* Windows

Then there's the tabs, I can easily use multi tabs, and skip for site to site, no probs. Firefox rocks, I wouldn't use any other
