The Mozilla Foundation announced on Saturday that it had raised $250,000 during the 10 days of its fundraising campaign, securing donations from 10,000 individuals. The money will be used to promote the final version of Firefox 1.0 when it is released on Nov. 9...

Im gonna laff if all the hackers start attacking that instead of IE. But chances are thats gonna be verry hard to do cause its actually written good.

mehhh

I can't attest to the secure writing of the code of Firefox, but I can attest to this. My wife is having problems playing Active X games on her PC. When I was checking into it, it seems that Firefox does not support Active X because it is such a quagmire of security potholes. So theorectically, if IE didn't support Active X, and they stopped trying to make it super-compatible with the rest of windows, it would be just as good a program as Firefox. I like firefox, just used to IE.

there's alot of other advantages to firefox beyond just lack of activeX. i'm not talking about tabbed browsing...(i got 3 windows open now... never got used to tabbed browsing ) in firefox, you can have client side style sheets... there's TONS of extensions to customize the browser to your needs, and there's a bunch of skins available to make the browser unique.

IMO they deserve it.Gotta say I love the tabbed browsing and the live bookmarks.Plus the fact it is I can use it on Linux or Windows is a big bonus.
