Mozilla Firefox 0.8 has now been released

Firefox (the film) rocks :-)  The browser is pretty good as well :-)  I'm surprised they got the rights use the name though.

Are those Go Faster stripes? :-)

Netscape 7.1 is based on a now ancient version of Mozilla (1.1?  Something like that).  NS also has nasty AOL-ifyied extra bits bolted on.

Firefox is a cut-down version of the Mozilla browser component, and they still share source code.

There's also Thunderbird, the standalone email client, currently at v0.5, which is also quite nice.  I've been using it since 0.4 was released.

Mozilla on AmigaOS/compatibles would be a much-needed boost to Amiga opensource development, not to mention great PR, as well as giving me a decent footing for migrating to OS4 :-)

It probably will be compiled for PPC Linux "soon"... but surely you can download and compile the source code on PPC Linux without any modifications?

I just copy the Flash DLL from Opera 7x, works fine here.

What?! You just run the Flash Player 7 install and specify the plugins directory for Firebird... easy peasy!

Copy file, paste.  I call that easy.

I don't think any browser gets the favicon stuff right :-)
