Firefox 1.0 has been released! Finally, after so long, the final wait is over. So go get Firefox now.

Great things about the new version:

1. Numerous bug fixes
2. The view source window now uses the search toolbar
3. Built in options for forcing external links into a new tab (Kudos to the author of the Tabbedbrowser Preferences plugin for doing it 1st)

Not so great:

1. Copy as plain text plugin doesn’t work with this version
2. Ditto Firesomething
3. Edit CSS plugin doesn’t work either.

Plugins will soon be updated, I imagine.
