The 1.0 version is running smooth for me, so a few extra months won't matter.

What is the new capability you were needing or at least looking for?

Firefox 1.0 works a lot better for me than any release of Internet Explorer ever did.
If I could safely remove IE from my machine, it would have been gone long, long ago.
If the Firefox team wants to take their time and do things right, I'm not about to complain about that.

I've been running it since .6, way back when, now I'm on 1.0
Not very fond of the way they linked Google in, I wish I could detach it. Since it's free, you can expect they will have a built in spybot type thing reporting to Google.
So I'll probably stay on 1.0
It seems to do things pretty transparently.

They need to put 'Composer' (html editor) in it. I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend money to get an html code generator. Other than that glaring weakness, it's terrific.
I've tried to fumigate IE on my system and gave up after my first pass at deleting registry keys. It's so deep in there forget it.

Nvu is to Composer what Firefox is to the Mozilla Browser.

Thank you, I'll check it out.
To: Eagle9
With with all the third party extensions available, I can't imagine where they want to go with a new version. I hope they don't screw it up - it works so well now.

What is the new capability you were needing or at least looking for? The 1.1 version will have the scrolling position issue corrected. That is, when you're reading a thread and hit refresh, the screen should remain at the same post you were at, instead of shifting it like it does now.

I find that 1.0 sometimes seems to cause my McAfee AV to go nuts and utilize all my CPU for a while. It brings the computer to a standstill and usually requires me to use the Task Manager to shutdown the unresponsive Firefox and restart it. The machine is clean and it only occurs during some function of Firefox.
That said; I still prefer Firefox to IE and see no reason to dump it.

Does this happen during file downloads? The "Download Manager Tweak" fixed the problem I had with freezups when invoking a download.

Haven't had it happen during downloads of files, but it happened yesterday when accessing a Quicktime Movie (That hillarious VW Polo "commercfial"). I'm not sure if it's a specific Firefox issue or if it is just something that McAfee has going on; it only occurs between the two of them(McAfee sucks up processor usage during some Firefox processes) and it doesn't seem to be a constant thing. I'm almost tempted to change AV apps to see if it happens with Norton too. (Another bennie of working DOD is that we get free access to the AV stuff so our home computers are safe to use for official business too).

No, it doesn't. I use excite mail with firefox exclusively, and it's never locked up on me--either over dial-up or on broadband (I use both every day).
I wonder what's different between our machines?

Hm. Thanks; yet their own FAQ page speaks of it exclusively in the future tense. Odd, that.
