Firefox has arrived
 

No longer beta or pre-release, version 1.0 is here! Time to download and install... :)

FewMiles..

If it would remember where I was in multiple tabs when I closed it, and have the ability to restart there, I'd ditch Avant in a heartbeat.

And it doesn't have a spellchecker

(I know, I know, I have posted this for the longest time, but yet, they still don't have one ;) )

You can certainly set this up. It's easy! Open a couple of tabs and go to the pages you wish to use at startup. Then, go to Tools->Options and select "Use current pages." It's that simple!

Mozilla is GREAT!

indeed
 

i using the 0.9 before too.

good and stable browser. it never crashed , in my case.

Fantastic. ^ Firebird/Firefox is as good as it gets browser wise.

I am using 1.0 preview release... any reason to "upgrade?"

Thanks for any info.

Best wishes,

I'll let winkydink speak for himself, but I'd really like Firefox to remember the last set of pages I had open, not a fixed set of the same pages that always open on startup.

For me it's a minor point, though . . . the only time I need to use IE is when I have to cut/paste an HTML table into Excel (itemized calls on my cell phone bill, in my case). If Firefox did that properly, I'd never use IE.

Some bug fixes and security updates. Don't know why they don't publish a proper changelog; here's an unofficial one:

Works great - just installed the newest version on 11/10 on both work computers and home computers. So far so good.

I'm still preferring Mozilla, it has more of the functions I need.

Just installed the 1.0 final release. Works great.

Re starting up several tabs semi-automatically, one way is to put all the links in a separate folder in the bookmarks and toolbar folder. Then all you have to do is click on the folder on the bookmarks toolbar and select the "open in tabs" option and all the pages will load in their respective tabs.

The tabbed browser features in Firefox 1.0 is lacking, compared to the Tabbed Browser Preferences extension available in previous versions. Everything else is as expected.

Another alternative to IE is Avant Browser. It uses the same "engine" as IE (therefore, vunderable to the same security issues IE has been dogged with), but it gives you a lot (maybe more) features of Firefox.

How do you install a Java plugin for firefox? Thanks

Can anyone tell me how it compares to Opera?
