Firefox Site Suffers Downtime

The Mozilla Foundation (mozilla.org), the organization that promotes free Web browser Firefox, has been experiencing intermittent performance problems on its Web site since Sunday morning.

With last week’s release of Firefox version 1.0.6, the update may or may not have resulted in Sunday’s slow performance for the Mozilla.org site. The site previously slowed down last November due to considerable demand during the browser’s launch.

The Firefox development team anounced last Wednesday that it would bypass a 1.1 release and instead release a more comprehensive September update labelled as version 1.5.

Earlier this month Spread Firefox, the marketing site for the open source project, was hacked by spammers seeking to use the site to deliver solicited mail.
