Firefox 0.8

UPDATE: Firefox 1.0 is now available

Firefox logoMozilla Firefox 0.8

Firebird has been reborn as Firefox. Just one note for Linux users - ignore the release notes and run ./firefox not ./firefox-bin.

It seems pretty speedy so far. I download the occasional nightly build, so I'm not very surprised at the changes. There seem to be lots of goodies for Windows and Mac users - I don't know how they fare since I'm using neither. Any users care to comment?

All the cool features are still there - tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, customized searching, etc. The download manager is probably the most obvious change. I believe all versions have the new download manager.

If you haven't tried this browser before, then do give it a whirl. It's faster than ever!
