Yeah, after a couple years of development they finally released Mozila 1.0 today. It already was quite nice in the past couple months but now it's an official 1.0 release.

Some might say it's to late cause Internet Exploder is already king of the browser market ... but you're wrong. AOL will switch from IE to Gecko/Mozilla for their software and that might put Mozilla on 30+ million users in the near future.

The main FTP is almost dead due to thousandsof downloads, interested people should try a mirror . I already have the Win32 downloaded and I'm currently waiting for the SuSE 8.0 specific RPMs.

Pardon me for putting this into the hardware section but I think this is a new milestone for browsers.

Dang it, I can't live any longer without tabbed browsing, i just roxs (I know Opera also got it).

I like it too. I run it on my Windows and Linux boxen.

Here is a tip I found:

Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Scripts & Windows->Uncheck "Open unrequested windows."

No more pop-ups.

I just found that one and can't vouch for how well it works but I haven't had a pop-up yet.

Also I like the LittleMozilla theme it's nice and clean.

i'm interested... mind posting a screenshot?

another concern of mind would be activeX... with so many sites using it today... what's Mozilla's status on activeX capability

seems pretty sharp so far - took me awhile to figure ot tab thing - you have to right click on a tab to open a new one

looks interesting.. maybe i should try it out???

so it's just a faster version of netscape... :/
doesn't seem to have shockwave or flash support on top of no activeX...

It is much more than just a faster version of Netscape, at least compared to NS 4.x (NS 6.x/7beta are based on Mozilla). The NS 4.x code was released to the public a couple years agoo and open source programmers started to work on it, they kicked the code out after a year and started from scratch, one reason why it took'em so long.

OK, no ActiveX, but hey, that's not a WWW standard, it's a M$ standard supported by Internet Exploder only
One of the few reasons for me to keep IE. There's a limited plugin in the works, just check http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/faq/browser.html#2.8
I have JAVA, RealOne Player, Quicktime, Shockwave, Flash, PDF, Windows Media Player and the GetRight plugin running smoothly with Mozilla.

Mozilla is only the cornerstone of future browsers that will be much more userfriendly like Beonex or Netscape 7 (ok, that ones kinda bloated but it has AIM and ICQ builtin).

I'll be happy to help anyone having some problems with Mozilla although many questions are already answered right here , the page that's loaded directly after Mozilla installation.

Just make sure TABBED BROWSING is enabled in the Preferences / NAVIGATOR, just select all 4 options. You'll only need to mousewheel-click on URLs to open in new tabs or CTRL+ENTER to open URLs in the location bar in a new tab.

The POPUP control is in Preferences under ADVANCED / SCRIPTS & WINDOWS.

Cookie control can be enabled in Preferences under PRIVACY&SECURITY / COOKIES, just make sure the ASK ME BEFORE ... is selected, it'll ask in the future if cookies can be set or not and remember this setting.
