	Mozilla Firefox v0.8 is out!!! Increase the size of your Attachments

Ok, so the name is ridiculous... come on, Firefox? What's next? Firechicken? Firebanana? (hmmm...)

I'm using it now, and this thing is fast... even more so than Firebird 0.7. Maybe others don't notice it, but to me pages are noticeably faster to load.

However, their forums are down due to heavy traffic and I needed to download my copy from a mirror site -- their ftp is slooooow now.

Is anyone here using Firefox (this name... argh!)?

I've been using Firebird 0.7 and then the nightlies, and now I'm using Firefox 0.8. It gets my endorsement.

They changed the name because Firebird is an open source database that existed before the browser. I kinda like it as Firefox.

I really like the new logo too.

Firefox is up there with Apache as a quality open source software product.

I had lots of trouble downloading it at 3am MST last night. It's really fast once it connects, but it was a ***** to connect to.

Oh yes....!!!

A really nice job. I think this is going to become my default browser... until the new Camino comes out.

They've made it fit in quite nicely with OS X's default theme.

ME LIKE!

It IS faster (believe it or not). Some of the minor problems with Firebird (with displaying of attachments, etc) seem to be solved.

I only want to see Extensions back up so I can get hand gestures back .

I thought Safari was the be-all and end-all of browsers.

MS has let IE decay without updates. Shame on them.

For the record, I like a lot of things compared to the MS alternatives. It just so happens the alternatives to Windows all blow in horrible ways.

The latest release of Safari is a backward step. 1.1 was really good, but they need to sort this one out: tabbed browsing is too slow - at least on my machine.

But Firefox may be sunk for me when the final release of Omniweb 5 comes out. WYSIWYG tabs, flexible workspaces, ad blocking, etc.

When 'extensions' get back online, we should have some downloadable mouse gestures. Everything else Firefox is better... especially SPPPPEEEED!

Sounds like a goddamned browser for furries.

I'll stick with Opera, thank you very much.

It's SOOOO much better than Opera... when I had Opera and IE, I ended up going to IE. But when Firebird came out, I hardly ever use IE anymore. It knocks Opera out of the water.

I actually paid for Opera not too long ago...then tried Firebird and haven't gone back.
