Firefox 1.0 has been released. This time my favorite extensions weren't mauled so badly. Only Firesomething and DictionarySearch were flagged as incompatible (oh, and WebMailCompose, though carried over successfully to 1.0, doesn't work; it just takes me to Gmail's main page. Update: works fine now, no idea how or why).

It looks like Qute and Firefox have parted ways for good. Since I *hate* Firefox's default theme, and because Qute is not (yet?) compatible, I ended up installing Noia eXtreme. My browser looks like a schoolgirl's lunchbox now. The Mozilla site seems to be straining under heavy traffic, so I cannot try out any other themes, either...

Even BBC is covering Firefox's launch.
