    Firefox on the BBC website

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3993959.stm

    How long has it taken the BBC to do any kind of reporting on stuff we've known about for AGES?

    But firefox has been out (in beta form admittedly) to use and test for 9 months now and the BBC are making out that it has only heard about its existance today!

    Several early versions of Firefox have been released since February when the browser made its first appearance.
    You read that article m8?

    erm, you shouldn't use beta versions of software in production environments?
    yay for firefox finally reaching the big 1.0 though, it means upgrading in the future should be far less painful (extension and theme -wise )

    Oh yeah I read it, but I was just commenting on the fact that we haven't heard before about 'a new and exciting product which is likely to blow MSIE out of the water'.

    I've just managed to get on to the mozilla webby, but the title is 'Cannot find server'! I bet the last step in releasing ff1.0 was to make sure the website was on a fast server connected to a very high bandwidth line!

    Do I need to uninstall my previous version of FF before I get this one, or is there an update button that I haven't found yet?
