After the last blog entry I made about FireFox
and its accompanying torrent of responses, I was almost hesitant to
write about Firefox again. But, yesterday marked Firefox’s 1st
anniversary of public release, so I figured I had to at least offer
congratulations.
Until last year the browser wars were basically considered over. Opera,
Safari, Mozilla, and what was left of Netscape buzzed around IE
like mosquitos around an elephant. Now all the buzz is around Firefox.
Firefox 1.5 is right around the corner. I just downloaded and installed Release Candidate 1.
The installation went well with no big gotchas. As soon as I’ve kicked
it around a while, I’ll give you my impressions – and try to find a
fire extinguisher for the responses.
