To some this may seem a bit late. Firefox has released a new version that covers several critical issues, and adds more stability. It is a wonderful alternative to Internet Exploer, and offers (in my opinion) more security because it blocks most spyware.

Anyone who has a recent version of Firefox (from about 1.0.2-3 I think) should get automatic notifications of the availability of new versions from Firefox itself (as well as updates to extensions and themes).

Yeah that's right everyone get the notification of the availability of the of any critical update and even updates of the extensions and themes which is one of the very good feature that it notifies you about the critical updates. That is the reason why Firefox is becoming hot favourite of most of the people.

The Firefox 1.7 is a better browser than the Mozilla version that I have been using as well. It is crisper on the display and faster for line speeds. Of course, if you are able to apply the "turbo-charging" techniques described in the tutorial section here at Trap17, it is even better performance.
The Tutorial is very easy to follow and it greatly increases the capabilities of the browsers. It even worked on the Mozilla Suite ver 1.7.11, because they are the same engine underneath. So,I am happy with the Mozilla/Firefox product. I hope they continue to supply good stuff at the right price... |

I have no idea what they put in the new 1.0.X versions
This makes me think why Internet Explorer doesn't come up with updates that often. I mean, Opera, Avant, Firefox, they all have automatic updates... unless the Windows (or Microsoft) Update updates IE for you... |

The reason why IE isn't updated that often is because Microsoft either are unable to produce fixes that quickly or simply don't care. |
