Firefox nears final launch

We’re getting closer! Firefox version 1.0 is looking to come out here in November if everything goes well. As a Firefox continues to grow in popularity, I have little doubt that this November is going to be a huge month for them.

Built why all of the hype surrounding the Firefox browser? Simple, it works and the people that develop it actually listen. Rather than letting it stagnate and mold like IE has over the years, Mozilla has been all over things making sure that Firefox has what it needs to succeed.

A final test version of open-source browser Firefox has been released, giving users a peek at what are expected to be the official features of the free software.

The latest test version of Firefox 1.0 fixes about 250 bugs that have been reported since the preview release of the browser earlier this year, according to the Mozilla Foundation.

If all goes well testing these builds, then we’re on target for our 1.0 release in early November,” Asa Dotzler, the Mozilla Foundation’s community quality advocate, wrote in a Web log posting Wednesday.

Spun off last year by Time Warner, the Mozilla Foundation is the open-source group that produces both Firefox and its predecessor, the Mozilla browser.
