Has everybody upgraded to Firefox 1.5 yet? With tabs that can now be organsed it's well worth it.

What is firefox? err if your still using Internet explorer (pc users) then be brave and make the switch, it might get a tiny bit to get used to but you wont regret it!

lol - in fairness it's still around 90% of the internet community using IE.

But if you're saying that 90% of the internet community should be shot then hmm - could I possibly agree? erm not in public ;)

I thought it was more like 80% using I.E these days and about 10% Firefox, the rest is things like Opera, Safari, Mobile Phones etc.

I have been using Firefox since it was known as Firebird. Opera is technicaly a lot better but I prefer Firefox, it just seems to be so much less fuss.

I only use I.E for testing purposes now, (i.e when developing sites). When IE7 comes out I intend to stay loyal to Firefox.

I have tried all the latest 1.5 Beta versions, I am using 1.5RC3 now, I will download the official release now.

1.5RC3 has the same checksum, no need to re-download it.

Hi,

I have downloaded it, but it will not work, unless I totally disable Norton.

Any tips please..

Hi

I've just downloaded Firefox and it's brilliant! Puts IE to shame... Much more up-to-date! And I think Norton can be configured to allow Firefox but I wouldn't know how to do it!

Thanks
