Today was the long anticipated release date for the next milestone of the amazing Mozilla Firebird web browser, and boy were we in for a shock!

What's new:
- Name change. Apparently, another Open Source project with the name firebird was getting a lot of cross traffic and vise-versa, so the folks at Mozilla thought a name change was in order. Mozilla's Next Generation Browser project is now called Mozilla FireFox!

- Aside from being more secure than Internet Explorer to begin with, Now FireFox has even more security enhancements for users.

- The OFFICIAL Windows Installer debut with this milestone, so no more ZIP files for the computer-unsafe to fight with! Download manager and some additional updated Tabbed browsing features are included as well.

Seriously folks, don't sit there and suffer through the internet with all it's BS popup ads and errors. Don't go out and BUY expensive blocker software, give open source a try. Mozilla FireFox is 400x the application Internet Explorer ever will be. It's faster, cleaner, is not based around ActiveX (the reason for 3/4 of the Critical security holes in IE), has intergrated pop up blocking, tabbed browsing, an easy way to save/manage bookmarks and downloads, and best of all, it's FREE

Give it a day or so for the servers to calm down, as everyone is rushing to get this browser. As an added Bonus, Mozilla Thunderbird (the Mozilla Mail Client) milestone 0.5 was released today as well. Remember all those problems and security holes with Internet explorer I mentioned? Well guess what, they are in Outlook and Outlook Express too! Plug em up with Mozilla Thunderbird! And the best thing is, Thunderbird AND Firefox are completely Themeable, so they can look, and act, identical to each other to eliminate confusion!
