The 1.0 version is running smooth for me, so a few extra months won't matter.

I was disappointed when I read about this the other day...

Firefox 1.0 works a lot better for me than any release of Internet Explorer ever did.

If I could safely remove IE from my machine, it would have been gone long, long ago.

If the Firefox team wants to take their time and do things right, I'm not about to complain about that.

I've been running it since .6, way back when, now I'm on 1.0

Not very fond of the way they linked Google in, I wish I could detach it. Since it's free, you can expect they will have a built in spybot type thing reporting to Google.

So I'll probably stay on 1.0
It seems to do things pretty transparently.

With with all the third party extensions available, I can't imagine where they want to go with a new version. I hope they don't screw it up - it works so well now.

I find that 1.0 sometimes seems to cause my McAfee AV to go nuts and utilize all my CPU for a while. It brings the computer to a standstill and usually requires me to use the Task Manager to shutdown the unresponsive Firefox and restart it. The machine is clean and it only occurs during some function of Firefox.

That said; I still prefer Firefox to IE and see no reason to dump it.

Is there any Firefox guru who can help me with a problem? I can not get my printer to work with Firefox. If I want to print something I have to cut and paste it into another browser or copy the webpage address and open another browser. It's not a big problem...just an annoyance.

Me too. I love Firefox the way it is now.
