Firefox 1.0 Released

Firefox 1.0 has been released today.  Good times.  Right now the link is being hammered, but some peeps at slashdot have posted mirrors.  Btw, here's the default homepage when you install Firefox - hosted on google.com.  Interesting...

Personally, I've been using the moox builds of mozilla, which are the official Firefox builds, but compiled with  optimization flags that hopefully optimize the builds for your particular processor (e.g. the M3 build contain code optimized for SSE2 and the M2 build is optimized for SSE).  I feel it's a little snappier than the regular release and I've been quite happy with it.  The only downfall is that it doesn't include the snazzy installer that you get with the official releases.  Moox already has compiled the optimized Firefox 1.0 bits and posted them on his site.
