I still have not-so-fond memories of using Mosiac on a DEC system at University to browse that newfangled information superhighway, but you crazy kids of today can’t seem to pick a browser and stick with it.

If you’re really hyper-keen to get Firefox 8 up and running, it’s now available from Mozilla. Not via automatic update, however — that’ll happen tomorrow. But if for some reason you just plain can’t wait, it’s available from Mozilla’s FTP server right now. [Mozilla]
