For almost a year, it seemed like development hovered in the range of 0.7, 0.8, 0.9&#8230; then the painfully slow march of 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, and 0.9.4 (which only existed for Windows, and then only briefly before it became &#8220;0.9.3 build 20040804&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>Finally now, it seems like Firefox developers are ready to release something they can call 1.0&#8230; almost.<\/p>\n<p>The preview release candidate of 1.0 is finally out, and can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/products\/firefox\/download.html?http%3A\/\/ftp.mozilla.org\/pub\/mozilla.org\/firefox\/releases\/0.10\/Firefox%20Setup%201.0PR.exe\">downloaded here<\/a>.  Although Microsoft asserts their Internet Explorer browser is more secure than in the past with XP Service Pack 2, I&#8217;d still have to say that I like the features of Firefox enough to warrant using it over IE.  If you&#8217;re a hard core IE user, it will take some time to get acquainted, but it&#8217;s definitely worth it.  Even though 1.0 isn&#8217;t officially &#8220;1.0&#8221; yet, it&#8217;s still more stable than IE, in my opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozilla finally preview-releases version 1.0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-stuff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scaredpoet.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
