I doubt that many of you out there will have heard about it, but some of the folks at Mozilla have realised that as well as making the best browser around, they need to get people to use it. So Asa Dotzler (one of the chief bigwigs at Mozilla started a campaign to get FireFox reviewed on download.com, confident that most of the reviews would be good ones. I share his confidence, and more importantly, I’ve added my (brief) review. Just over a day ago they were aiming for a whopping 1000 reviews - but they were already at 654 when I posted mine - wow.

So for those of you who use FireFox, congratulations on your choice of browser - maybe you want to help the campaign, and submit your review.

If you haven’t tried FireFox, then you’re missing out - pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, extensions, standards compliance, faster page display, more secure than the other leading browser (guess which one?)… and more. Most importantly, it’s open-source, and works on both Windows and Linux (and MacOSX), and it’s free, and it’s only a few megabytes in download size, so there’s nothing stopping you from giving it a go. You can get it from download.com, or have a look at the FireFox homepage.

Now here’s an idea for the folks at Mozilla - when it comes to version 1.0 later in the summer, they could try releasing it to a few employees, and then offer invites for other people to download it… - heh!

(If you review it - post a comment here and let me know. A review and a mention on your weblog (if you have one) might earn you a pint from me - now there’s an offer!)
