Mozilla FireFox 1.0.4 is entering release candidate status and it will be released by the end of this month. Depending upon the advisory and code fixes of the Mozilla Foundation, all Mozilla FireFox users should update to this forthcoming 1.0.4 version. In Mozilla ThunderBird news, it is also noteworthy to mention that an enterprise class calendar feature with to-do list (a la Microsoft Outlook or Novell Ximian programs for both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems respectively) along with a slew of other features such as anti-phishing will be released by the end of July. It is called the Lightning plugin and users looking to migrate from Microsoft Outlook Express or Outlook (as well as Novell Ximian and Lotus Notes users) should consider downloading this major upgrade version 1.1. The anti-phishing feature along with remote storage of e-mail attachments is essentially are must-have features in a world in which e-mail is constantly being bombarded by such nefarious devices. If they can also include Lightning by that deadline, then it will be a must-have e-mail client that can serve both enterprise and home users very well. Lastly, ThunderBird will simplify the creation of multiple e-mail clients using the very popular Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) or sSMTP (SECURE Simple Mail Transport Protocol). It should be noted that UNIX clones such as BSD and LINUX can utilize the extremely secure and increasingly popular EXIM mail transport agent in conjunction with the pure Linux version of ThunderBird to bolster security ever more.

I urge Head-Fi members to consider both Mozilla FireFox and ThunderBird as a very capable and robust (along with more security conscious and responsive) solution to their web browsing and e-mail needs.

Yes it has, and I would also strongly encourage others to start using Firefox instead of IE, just more secure IMO. I like it a lot better, more features, open source, etc... Plus I've gotten really used to tabbed browsing, it's so nice. My only complaint is that I haven't found the "ctrl + tab" IE equivelent for Firefox. Anyone have any ideas?
