Brief Hands-On Report--Mozilla's Firefox v1.0.2 is Out

and available for download. Firefox, an open source Netscape derivative, is the Mozilla Foundation's standalone web browser that is rapidly increasing in popularity. Firefox is our main backup web browser but it will probably be replaced by Mozilla's Quartz-native Camino when it matures sufficiently. The release of Firefox 1.0.2 along with the prior releases of Thunderbird 1.0.2 and Mozilla 1.7.6 completes the suite of updates of Mozilla's software that we mentioned last Friday were coming out this week.

We downloaded v1.0.2 and installed it on our hard drive. We used it for surfing most of the web pages that we frequent and saw no problems. [Bill Fox]
