If I had to use IE, I''d quit computing. Thanks Mozilla.

CBS needs to put in the pertinent information - Mozilla is leaving behind any Mac users who don''t have the hardware to run OS 10.4 or later. This is the same nonsense that major vendors pull; isn''t this antithetical to the original idea of open source initiatives? I mean you can screw over anybody if you go commercial, that''s what''s bad about commercial and closed-source software vendors, they''re not beholden to a higher standard, they could give a rat''s *** about all the people who aren''t constantly in the money and buying upgrades all the time. It''s effete.

I agree with most of you, Firefox blows ie away! I have used Firefox for 4 years, and really like the plug-ins and extras. GoodBye ie!

FireFox is so much better than IE - especially how it handles CSS, javascript and even HTML. Of course, you can''t go wrong with the wonderful plugins.

Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3 is out today:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html

This is planned to be binary-identical to the
official release next Tuesday (June 17, 2008).
They are also trying to set a Guinness World Record
for "most software downloads in 24 hours" on
official release day:

Firefox is a 1,000 times better than IE. Script blockers, flash blockers, image blockers, better security, faster pages...it''s like the Cadillac of web browsers.

This is real tech news.

While most of the world was going gaga over the new HypePhone; with features that should have been on the first-gen unit, some of us have been waiting for this Firefox update.
