Big ol’ collection of Firefox articles, part 1

Firefox is supposed to be released tomorrow, and in honor of the big day, here’s a list of articles about our favorite web browser (and yes, some of them are critical of the browser, and that’s OK - reasoned criticism is good). Oh yeah - you might notice a few mentions of Thunderbird and Mozilla in there too. Hey, it’s all one big happy family.

The Fox Cometh
”The source of this momentum isn’t really very hard to find. FireFox is a fantastic browser, with an eye on security and compelling user tools like tabs, a download manager and a team of seasoned developers behind it. In addition, because it runs on multiple platforms, it has given the Linux market a world class browser to work with. ”
Give me Firefox, or give me death
”In the minds of nearly 10,000 web-surfing proletarians the iron fist is Microsoft, and the way to liberty is an open-source browser called Firefox. Taking a page from the social action playbooks of Middle East peaceniks and political activists, a band of Firefox fans pooled their money to take out a full-page ad in the New York Times. ”
Comparing Mozilla Thunderbird, Firefox to IE, peers
”IT pros have peppered SearchEnterpriseLinux.com with questions about the two new Mozilla offerings. In turn, we asked our resident expert Nigel McFarlane to answer the ones that popped up most often.”
Firefox, bah humbug
”Most here would admit that IE does a better job of inferring proper behavior from incomplete or improperly-used HTML. That’s a GOOD thing, and Firefox would do well to learn the same lesson.”
(Scott here - I disagree with the above sentiment, but I’m including it so you can read his opinion.)
