I downloaded the latest version the other day. I ain’t got no Sea-Monkey. What am I missing?

Gee, and all this time folks (CS-type geeks - both my colleagues and those to whom I teach CS courses) have been telling me how wonderful Mozilla is! How free of the foibles and glitches of IE! How dependable and easy to use! Mind you, I'm not a great fan of Internet Explorer, but at least Microshaft does keep up with security issues and problems on a timely basis.

I couldn't help but snicker a bit when I read this.

Use Firefox almost exclusively now. Up dated it yesterday. The Cooliris add on is really cool.

I just updated Firefox to the latest, and LOVE the new spell check. Just like a good WP program, a misspelled word in the window for typing a post here is underlined in red, and you correct it by selecting options with a right click, including adding to dictionary.

No more using the awful FR spell checker with its moronic failure to understand words with apostrophes and hyphens.

This has to be making the Firefox folks very happy, they are now big enough to be worth hacking...

Thanks a lot for the heads-up. Just updated my Firefox for Linux Mint.

I downloaded the latest Firefox, but I didn't see an upgrade for Thunderbird, which still shows up on the site as being version 2.0.0.0.

Is there a secret handshake for upgrading thunderbird?

Just checked. I'm running the updated version of Fartface Firefox.
