Firefox 2.0 Released

firefox2cake.jpg
Just wanted to get a plug in for the new and improved version of my favorite browser, Firefox, released yesterday.

I was a Netscape user from the time it was created until the time AOL bought Netscape and things went seriously downhill.

It took a while for Mozilla to shape up into Firefox, but now that it has, I very rarely have to fire up Internet Explorer.

I've been using Firefox 2 beta, and now Firefox 2, for quite a while now, and think it's the best browser around. (No, I haven't tried Safari. But I have tried Opera.)

My plug wouldn't be complete without a link, so if you're not already using Firefox 2, get it here.

(The photo shows the congratulatory chocolate rum cake sent to the Firefox team from the Internet Explorer development team. It was reportedly not only completely non-toxic, but quite tasty. One Firefox developer did report crashing on the way home, however. [Okay, so I made up that last bit.] )

I upgraded to 2.0, but I hate that it breaks half of the extensions (add-ons), and some of my favorites are now no longer being developed. Sigh.

I think the cake shows that Microsoft has a ton of class - something that has always been apparent in my dealings with them. It is really too bad they get so much awful press because nearly everything said about them and their business practices is completely wrong.
