Firefox 1.0 was fully released today, and I’ve got to say that I’m loving it. Aside from a couple of sites that present me with problems (including the back engine to this very site – buttons in my version of Movabletype are an issue), the negatives are far outweighed by the positives.
There’s all those little things that you never knew about like shortcuts to keyword searches. So for example if I want to search for Star Wars at IMDB, I now just type “i star wars” in the address bar. The search box defaults to Google, but you can search any sites, so of course IMDB’s there, as well as the BBC News site, and many more.
I’m curious to learn exactly what the deal is that Firefox/Mozilla have got with Google, but there’s an interesting homepage that you’re sent to from this version onwards.
Anyway, a cool logo, and it’s now my home default browser…
