Firebird 0.8, now “Firefox,” is out.

February 11th 2004

The new version (0.8) of the Mozilla Firefox browser (previously Firebird) is out today. It has many excellent improvements, including a bookmark manager that is actually useful. I also notice it’s responsiveness and speed has greatly improved since 0.7.

If you don’t know about Firefox yet, now is the time to switch. I honestly have not used Internet Explorer for the last six months — Firefox is an excellent, standards-compliant open-source browser with tons of features like built-in popup blocking, tabbed browsing, skins and themes, and a great download manager.

If you do upgrade, I would highly reccomend the Luna Blue theme by Christopher Cook. It goes with Windows XP better than the default theme. ::
