I am currently using 1.0.6, thanks for brining that version to my attention, it is downloading now.
I'm so glad that Firefox is better than IE, it brings people's attention to other smaller developers and away from microsoft so that they see there is a free and better alternative. I got Firefox at version 1.0 or 0.9 i think, i was amazed ( i had only used IE before) it has tabbed browsing, i only see like 4 popups a month, less spyware and adware etc. and amazing plugins. Once it has downloaded im gonna check it out

It's certainly an improvement.
I especially like the "Report broken website" feature. (If you find a website that blocks you because you have firefox or if it doesnt work in firefox, you clcik the button!) Mozilla Rock. End of.

I like the idea of firefox, but I don't like their "philosophy". They essentially copy Opera's ideas, implement them as their own, and then create hype on how "this feature will revolutionize browsing".
If Opera had an easy adblock alternative, and movie plugin support for linux, I would stop using firefox in a second. |

lmao.
You don't like Firefox's philosophy... + They considered everyone and made it multiplatform + They made it free + It is open source Ideas are bound to be copied all the time, i suppose that all Operating Systems have bad philosphy because they copied teh idea from the firt ever operating system. -_-
