firefox

July 07th, 2004 | Category: General

While I’m on vacation, I’m trying out the new Mozilla Firefox browser as a replacement for Internet Explorer.

Despite the adolescent marketing tagline, Firefox is very nice. It’s way different from earlier versions of Mozilla/Netscape, which were basically piles of crap with AOL advertisements all over them.

With this new version, rendering seems faster than IE. System text is no longer jeetered like it was in earlier versions of Netscape. Switching overall font sizes actually works, unlike in IE. There’s automatic popup blocking. The GUI themes are kinda cool too.

Too bad Firefox is about four years too late. But I’ll probably still run it on at least one machine. Yay.

    Mozilla 1.7 is still faster than Firefox - I’m sure because Firefox is still in Beta - I would stick to Mozilla (which Firefox is running off it’s engine anyway) for now and wait for a final release of Firefox. When I say Mozilla I mean Mozilla not Netscape -
