Mozilla Firefox

[towjamb]

Firefox is now in unstable branch and I am using it at this moment.
This is, undeniably, the fastest browser I've ever used. Even my Windows buddies agree -- it blows IE out of the water. Some minor improvements over .7 most notably the download manager. The extensions work in Linux and I've added a few from the extensive list already.
Overall, Firefox is a great browser and worth the effort of an upgrade if only for the speed improvements. Now if they'd only make a QT version ...
Please add your thoughts.

I use mozilla flavored browsers since 99 and I am very happy with Firefox :) (Even on Windows I rarely run IE).

Added to my latest beta and will update to .8 later tonight and maybe get the iso posted in a couple of days.

You can make mozilla-firefox the default browser by setting:
update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

Happy surfing.

FireFox can be installed with just one klik from http://klik.berlios.de/ thanks to a contributed klik recipe :)

sweet....that update-alternatives thing totally fixed my problem. I read somewhere else that the way to do it was to change the file associations in the control center (for knoppix) but that totally did nothing useful.

thanks dewd!

Tried that, but getting an error (protocal not supported)

not sure why....
