Firefox catches fire
As the number of downloads of Mozilla Foundation's open source browser Firefox 1.0 continues to soar (4.7 million hits by Nov. 19), people are asking what will established browsers do in response?
Microsoft officials said they could add on features to Internet Explorer (IE), but they may wait until Longhorn, the next version of Windows, appears in 2006.
America Online execs say a Firefox version of Netscape will be previewed Nov. 30.
We instinctively root for the underdog, and I feel that way about Firefox. I stayed with Netscape well after many others had switched over to IE.
But, as Infoworld News Editor Tom Sullivan said in his blog, many people will stay away from Firefox until they are sure that all the kinks are worked out.
