Spiegel.de, one of germanys biggest magazines has an article on Firefox:
http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/technologie/0,1518,317950,00.html

They also have a poll with interesting numbers saying "hand on your heart (like be honest), with what browser do you surf the web?":
http://www1.spiegel.de/active/vote/fcgi/vote.fcgi?voteid=2301&choice=5&aktion=setcookie

Seems like mozilla products has always been very big in germany, dont really know the reason why. Netscape 4 for example, had 20% of the market when it was around 3-4% in other countries.

Also interesting is the other story on their web page linking to MS's JPEG\GDI+ advisory.
http://www.microsoft.com/security/bulletins/200409_jpeg.mspx
Affects everything on the planet MS have ever produced unless you have XP - SP2 it seems.
Very nasty - exploits via JPEG. Adds a whole new meaning to the NSFW tag.

Any problem for Firefox?

Hello SpreadFireFox Team,

I just updated my articles on Firefox and Thunderbird for new release:

HOWTO build Firefox RPM package for Fedora Core (Now covers 1.0PR)
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/firefox/

HOWTO build Thuderbird RPM package for Fedora Core (Now covers 0.8)
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/thunderbird/

I hope this helps to spread the FireFox. :)

Mozilla Nears Firefox Finale

Wow, Mozilla make the swedish news too.

Not about Firefox 1.0 PR (yet at least), but the headline is:

"Internet Explorer loses to rebel browsers"

... and later, Mozilla usage increases by 33%.

You can also vote for the browsers here:

(if you wish, scroll down about half page to the +-signs you can place)

Btw, in a less fun poll on the same page -- "is it right to censor the internet?" 54% yes, 41% no. :-P I'm not sure some swedes know what precious thing they've got, living in a country with no internet censorship...

I tried signing up to Spread Firefox but I just don't get any mail with password back. I also tried Forgot my password function and I also didn't get any mail back. As I can't find any contact information on SF I thought I could get help here.

Nice to see the RSS feeds on the spreadfirefox page. But could they be labelled? Because there are two feeds given when you click on the RSS icon on the homepage, and they're both called 'rss'. I think they may link toi the same place...

Hey Asa,

Just a quick note about the Spread FireFox website. On the right you have a "Countdown to 1 Million Downloads" except you are counting up. :D

An actual "downloads needed" countdown would be cool, instead of calling it a "count up". ha

But really, you could do either. :)

Cheers!
