Hi Chris-
 
I'm happy to give my permission & consent for the Foundation to use any part of
my email for press releases or promotion of FireFox.  I'm admittedly flattered
that you want to use my commentary!  I'm genuinely impressed with FF0.8 & cannot
wait to see what the 1.x version offers!  If it's only an improvement on 0.8,
I'm positive it'll be a smashing success.
 
I've also found that the introductory material Mozilla provides is excellent as
well, such as the Introduction to FireFox series of articles, and especially the
MozillaZine Forums.  I'm a "do-it-yourselfer" and prefer to try & find answers
to my questions before contacting a support line, so the user-supported forums
are a great help. 
 
Again, thanks to the Mozilla Foundation for providing such a an outstanding
browser, it's no surprise that you've gotten accolades from industry
professionals & publications; they're very well deserved.  Feel free to use
whatever parts of my email commentary that you deem fit.
 
Regards,
Brian Koester

    After using FireFox for one afternoon, I'm totally blown away by the
browser.  Un-f*****g-believable!  A friend of mine mentioned your app in a forum
we both post in, and at first, I forgot about FF.  However, I've been having
getting functionality on a couple of different oft-visited sites to work in IE,
so I Google'd for web browsers, and found FireFox listed in the results.  After
download & install, I've been able to pick up some of the core features like
tab-based browsing & skins w/out much work at all.  Installation of plug-ins
also seems easy & intuitive.  Coupled w/the very well thought-out & executed
website, you've put together a helluva package!  I've now moved all my faves
from IE to FireFox & will not go back to IE again!  I'm totally hooked on
FireFox & have recommended it all my friends. 
     
    Props on a great product!  I look forward to future releases, and eventually
the full-blown FireFox 1.x - whenever that may be!  In the meantime, you've won
a very happy user & a true advocate of your product.
     
    Cheers!
