Firefox

Get Firefox!
The Firefox team has come out with their Preview Release of Firefox 1.0. I have been using it for a couple of days, and it looks like a great browser. Here are some of the features that I like that weren't in the previous version:
  1. You can subscribe to RSS feeds in your bookmarks
  2. Status message is displayed when a pop-up is blocked
  3. Displays the domain associated with a ssl certificate, for secure sites
  4. Displays the address bar with a different color when viewing a secure site
When I upgraded, some of my extensions stopped working, but they should be coming out with updated versions soon. The only improvement that I would like to see happen is to be able to configure Firefox to use the Mac OS X Keychain

You can download firefox here.

  1. I just switched from FireFox 0.9 to 1.0 PR1 on Fedora Core 2, and let me say that PR1 is *much* less stable than 0.9. I'm not sure why, but this this is always crashing, several times a day. I'd say that its usually when I click on something, but that dosen't really help diagnose it. I'm tempted to start filing bugs or looking at bugzilla.mozilla.org...

  2. What do you really think of the Live Bookmarks feature? I think its sort of silly, but I might try it anyway...
