THE MOZZARELLA FOUNDATION has announced that the next edition of its new Firefox browser will be available for download tomorrow.

The last public release for Firebadger 2.0 was tested last week and was stable enough for commercial release. Of course Microsoft releasing its "next generation" IE7 browser last week had little to do with it.

The free 5Mb browser, available in 39 languages for Windows, Mac and Linux computers, will be downloadable from getfirefox.com.

This version of Firefox has been in design for nearly two years. It comes with anti-phishing technology, restores windows, tabs, in-progress downloads and text typed into online forms if any are interrupted by a system crash. It also has a spell chuker. µ

Do you think the move was justified?
