Firefox 1.0 Released

It’s finally out. Go grab yourself a copy, you’ll be glad you did.

eWEEK has a review of the final release.

During tests, we found Firefox 1.0 to be extremely intuitive, with probably the most minimal learning curve imaginable. In addition, the Linux and Mac OS X versions of Firefox are functionally identical to those on Windows, making Firefox an excellent cross-platform solution.

Given the unprecedented pickup of Firefox in beta form, many people may be surprised that Firefox hasn’t already shipped. In fact, Firefox has pulled off the extremely rare feat of gaining market share while still in beta—market share that came directly from Microsoft Corp.’s Internet Explorer.
