- arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Third QUARTER 2006?!
DAMN, so long for all the features Opera has already? I really want FTP and Download Manager support, and fixed memory leaks.

- Jeffrey903, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hopefully Firefox 2.0 will have better RSS support (similar to that of what Safari and IE7 have). I just want to be able to view any RSS feed without a special reader and have it look good.
- Killgore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yer but what are these new "features"???
- pupa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1JPEG 2000 support!
- p1nhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A few steps ahead of IE7? From what I've heard, that shouldn't be very difficult.
- Dracos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1FF2.0 is mostly a UI cleanup/enhancement endeavor. The real sweet stuff will be in FF3.0, where all the graphical output will be moved to a unified drawing architecture based on the Cairo gfx library.
- Jeffrey903, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dracula7 - they make millions of dollars from Google who pay them every time you make a search using Firefox. I believe they made about $30 million in 2005 from Google.
- Ponch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0google I believe
- gamekid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"This article doesn't actually tell you anything. No digg."
Indeed. One of those "updates to the tabbed browsing experience" will probably have been catalyzed by IE7 ( http://digg.com/software/Original_Firefox_team_member_takes_on_new_IE7_beta where Dotzler says he might re-add tab close buttons )
My favorite comment below the story, though: "I'm kind of loving IE7 right now. I think IE7 or FF needs to allow for resizable tabs so you can tile them next to each other like in Opera.. I'm guessing that will be one of the new additions to FF. "
One of them had better do that. - gamekid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"the link isn't working for me."
"the site is diggdead"
Damn. Two minutes after I got through. I'm Feeling Lucky. - powerpuffmidget, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the link isn't working for me.
- arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0FireFTP does kickass, but it makes Firefox crash and lag.
I already got a download manager, but I want intergrated support, so I can uninstall them.
I hate plugins. >.> - sniper6121, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2yeah 2.0 should be really sweet I like Firefox much more than IE im glad Firefox will keep upgrading to compete with IE.

- Cronos1388, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone got a cache of the link?

Yeah, I use FileZilla for anything that'll take longer than 5 minutes cause of all lag fireftp causes. For my download manager I use Flashgot so I can select the download to either use firefox's built in download manager, or whatever one I like (free download manager is my personal favorite) - gotamd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like Firefox, but this article has no content whatsoever. It's like, "Yeah, Firefox 2.0 is going to come out...and it will have more features."
It took about 5 minutes to load for me, but it definitely wasn't worth it. For those of you having trouble accessing the site: don't worry. You're not missing much ;) - bieber, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2ActiveX doesn't exist for Linux not because it's too tough to make a substitute for, but because no one wants a substitute because it sucks. Bitch at Yahoo! to stop using platform specific code, not at us to support it.
- peterthegreat4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1with the way that ff hogs memory i'm kinda scared of what ff 2 will do.
- pcgeek101, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"The Mozilla Foundation wants to stay at least a few steps ahead of Microsoft's IE7."
Then fix the memory problems .... make it so it'll run *well* on a PC with 64k of RAM. That's the only thing that really bugs me about Firefox, is how much it wastes system resources. - mpeters13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1memory leak? :p
- snyy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hmm IE seem to update like once everyblue moon FF updates all the time. ill still use FF just for the security is offers.
- rishimaharaj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0IE7 is doing what Firefox and Opera did two years ago, and it's not even out yet. Firefox 2 and Opera 9 will beat the snot out of IE7.
- leqin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"how does mozilla make money?"
I recall it being quoted on TWIT, but the Mozilla project earns $6 million per anum, or was it $16 million - I'll have to check - but anyway they earn it from just the searches people make using the built in Google search. - cheeseron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1What memory leak ;)?
- siouxmoux, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Eh? The first public beta of Phoenix was way steps ahead of IE7! The Mozilla Foundation has nothing to worry about from the Big Bad E from Mirco$haft. Now Opera on the other hand is an completely different story altogether.
- apache2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"how does mozilla make money?"
buwahahahahahhahahahahaha :) - jo42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is what the 2.0 development plan points need to be:
1) Stop it from crashing, hanging and doing weird things.
2) Stop it from hanging, crashing and doing weird things.
3) Stop it from doing weird things, crashing and hanging. - TomPetty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1FF 2.0: will it finally be faster than IE6/7?
Time will tell... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"really want FTP and Download Manager support"
Um... If you want ftp, go into the address bar and type "ftp://myftpsite.com". Erm. . .
If you want a nice FTP client, go find FireFTP. It kicks ass.
If you want a great download manager, get DownThemAll from mozdev.org.
As to the person who asked how mozilla makes money . . . um. . . . it doesn't. Why would it?! - Kissitfatty, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2not being asociated with microsoft is the best way....
- AuAndCs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0broked
- TomPetty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0FF 2.0: will it finally be faster than IE6/7?
Probably not. - gnjack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0yes, Dugg out.
- userundefine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Start putting cache links in there...
- RichardHendrix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0once again... butchered by the diggnation.
Time of digdeath: 7:14 p.m. est - JimXugle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"the site is diggdead"
Yeah.
I used "diggdead" in a digg comment before... dunno if I was the first... was it coined on the PriceRight Page? *is too lazy to look* sweet... there is a small and insignificant chance that I coined a term! - astrotrain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0IE7 = ("Navy Seal Movie guy from Movie Clerks...) "OOOOOhhhh IE7 With Tabs"
IMHO, Firefox is in front, while Opera is in second, and of course IE is in third.
See MS fails to update anything. It applies for the same with Security Patches, they wait for months on the Security issue, and just like Pa Kettle slowly get off the rocker on the front porch and claim "yep, I see it, let me go fix it ma..."
So naturally with IE they were patching it more then updating it. IE reminds me of a Fathers Day card I saw once that featured a sinking Titanic ...
"Yeah keep passing me the duct tape, I think its working" - GuineaPig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"[H]ow does Mozilla make money?"
It's subsidized by Google, primarily. In the past, Apple, Adobe, Amazon, and, of course, AOL have played roles in keeping it financially solvent. - lasingson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0site is no go
- norbiu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0any other link ?
- Silencer7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I kinda like 'Dugg out' instead.
- bchang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Good Story but sniper you have to stop posting dupe stories this ones ok but you have a ton of dupes.
- cbreaker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Faster? Firefox is pretty snappy for me. Maybe ya'll got problems with your machines or something because I don't see any difference between Firefox and IE. In fact, I like the fact that Firefox will display partial web pages as they're loading versus IE where it waits until the entire page has been downloaded before displaying it.
As far as the memory "leaks" well, I'll have a single Firefox window open for an entire work week and use it for everything, and by the end of the week it might consume 120MB RAM. Considering that my machines usually have 2GB of RAM or more, I figure it's just using what it needs to cache data. If you insist everything run in 100K RAM whether it runs like ***** or not, I suggest you switch to a 12 year old Amiga.
My feeling is that firefox users will continue to be firefox users, but once IE7 is released the adoption rate will slow down for some months. It'll be touted as a "Firefox killer" and such so people visit their sites and click their ads; much like the sites that were claiming the Xbox 360 would kill PC gaming. After it's apparent that IE7 is no less buggy then IE6, and that Firefox continues to update the software, it will pick up again.
Nothing to see here, move along. - arizonagroove, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0The current Mozilla roadmap shows Firefox 2 released late Q2/early Q3 2006. Only info I can find for an IE7 release is a vauge reference to it comming out with Vista which is scheduled for Q4. IE 7 betas have bene around for at least as long as it took Firefox 1.5 to go from the first beta to final release.
Firefox 1.5 is arguably already ahead of IE7 in some areas (e.g. CSS support).
So all in all, keeping Firefox ahead of IE7 seems something of a no brainer. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Stupid post. It's a digg post about an article which paraphrases an article which paraphrases an interview. No digg.
