Firefox 1.1 Scrapped

"The Firefox team has decided to scrap the planned 1.1 release (already in Alpha 2) and instead release the final version as 1.5 due to the significant number of bug fixes and changes. The 1.5 feature complete beta is expected next month." From the article: "We are planning for a Firefox 2.0 and 3.0, but will divide the planned work over (at this point) three major Milestones, 1.5 (September 2005), 2.0 (unscheduled) and 3.0 (unscheduled). All major development work will be done on the Mozilla trunk, and these releases will coincide with Gecko version revs."

Yahoo Releases Firefox Toolbar Beta

"Following Google’s footsteps, Yahoo has released a beta version of it’s toolbar for Firefox. The new toolbar is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux."

Meaning?

I believe that these additions to FireFox are not that big a deal in themselves, but they are leading to a bigger progress to lead the market of FireFox to an extent where it will soon become the world’s number 1 internet browser. Why? Because FireFox has the benefits of being free, and being great!
