I guess that was a bit of irrational exuberance in the immortal words of Alan Greenspan. I've now got build 2005051021 running on my Linux box and build 2005051104 running on my Mac.

Sends a very positive message

I like that.

When was the last time Microsoft responded to anything within 24 hours and over a weekend?
Kudos to the Mozilla-Firefox Team!
I hope all the rag mags give as much coverage to the flash-fix as they did pointing out theoretical flaws.

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 Release Candidates (MozillaZine)

I've downloaded and installed it (over 56k dialup no less), and it's not clear that this is a release candidate. The version reported by Help->About Mozilla Firefox is 1.0.4, and entering about:config in the URI window gives:

app.build_id    2005050920
app.version     1.0.4

So this might be the real FF 1.0.4. This is the tarball you get for linux:

8639778 May  9 23:02 firefox-1.0.4.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz

You might want to go get it now before the mad rush.
