Finally version 1.0 of Firefox browser has been released today.

hey ive found a problem..

balloon boxes are only capable of showing a single line of text. is there any way to change this? for example if you hover the mouse over a thread, it'll only display a single line as opposed to multiple lines in IE

Grab "popup alt attribute"

Then in extensions, hit the options button with the popup alt extension selected. Seelct the checkbox, and it will display multiline popups.

And unlike IE, it STAYS OPEN.

Hmmm - yes this Firefox is definitely faster than Internet Explorer. Me like.

I've tried other browsers before but usually they end up having problems and not much advantage over IE, but this one looks worth a spin.
