Mozilla Firefox - New Name, Fresh Installer

Mozilla's standalone browser, formerly known as Phoenix, then FireBird, is now known as Mozilla FireFox. The new name should end any confusion with other open source projects, and signifies their 0.8 release. They're coming close to 1.0 with it, and it's beginning to look really slick.

For ANYONE who is still using Internet Explorer I urge you to install this slim little browser. It's fast and uses tabbed browsing (middle click a link, and it loads quietly in the background, with a tab at the top of your browser.) Once you try it, you won't go back.

Add to the list perfect popup blocking without spyware, protection from the nefarious Internet Explorer exploits which allow hackers to trick you into installing malicious software, and faster, standards compliant page rendering, and this is the best browser out there bar none.

The Mozilla servers are a bit clogged with everyone downloading this today, so download it from me here.
