Mozilla Firefox is airborne. The Foundation has outdone itself this time, producing a rock-solid product that is actually better than competing commercial offerings. It’s been a long strange trip from the initial dream to today’s release, but few can argue that Mozilla has finally arrived as a legitimate force in the software world. Big ups to Moz for figuring out the puzzle. Now if we could just figure out why a certain tech news source insists on calling them the Mozzarella Association…

For those just getting started with Firefox, a few tiny extensions can really change your browsing experience. Here are some classics:

• Sage — beautifully lightweight feed aggregator

• Create Shortcut — quickly create a shortcut to the current page on your desktop
• Adblock — never see another ad on the web again. Seriously

Props to all who have contributed. For the more technically-minded, Steve Garrity did a nice job of capturing the launch instant. Now, onward to Thunderbird and Sunbird!
