    I just installed it, after using the latest available beta's for a while.
    I personally find it loads pages pretty fast, maybe a tad faster than the latest beta. But it might be bit early to compare it against the beta versions.

    yea i downloaded firefox 1.0 last night and i have ahd no problems with it. The changes from the last beta are very minor. Im having no problem with load times. (I think my 5mb connection helps that) I havent tweaked it at all yet, i dont think i ever will either. Right now its fast enough for me.

    Nice job Mozarella!

    It's only been installed for five mins. and I really like it. There are definatly some differences.

    Is there anything I'm not going to like? I did read something about Active X.

    You shouldn't face any problems, the browser has a load of options,extensions you can play with...link

    There are a few sites incompatible with firefox, no big deal.

    Type about:config in the url bar and have a look at the options

    I just installed Firefox 1 on all my systems. Slightly faster than 0.9.3. But not much else.
