I have a season pass to ABC World News Tonight. The local station in Denver decided to show a "special edition" of the local news, and thus I had no idea they ran the story. Thanks for the link.

It's great to see network TV picking up on this. The video also really helps show off some of the features. Might be nice to have some video or flash examples up somewhere to give people a tour of Firefox.

That's a great segment. They really did show off all of the good things in Firefox. I really think it is a big step for firefox. I mean a year ago mozilla had maybe 2% of the market, if that at all. Now Firefox is on national tv (minus denver... haha). It's really awesome to see how great all the people that work at Mozilla and around the world have helped so much.

It's great to see mainstream news coverage of this excellent piece of software! Nice segment overall.

The only part that I didn't quite like was the way the firefox developers/development came off as. It seems like the segment portrayed the developers as young amateur kids doing this as a side hobby. It gave me the impression that the segment was down playing the experience, professionalism and maturity that most firefox developers have. Did anyone notice this or was it just me?
