    ... until people start feeling grateful for 0.9.5 ;)

    Or call it "one point oh beta minus initial release testing phase DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON use at own risk edition, AKA 'only 4 more points'"

    At any rate, I'll grab .9.5 now, but .9.4 is sweet.

    ...better support for the tag

    I think you left off the "B". Mozilla introduced the tag, IIRC, and has supported it for years.
    From The Book of Mozilla, 12:10:

    And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengeance. The house of the unbelievers shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth. Their tags shall blink until the end of days.

    I've been using it for 304 hours now, as close I can tell.

    Dude, do me a favour. Before you update your build, find some way of crashing it, OK? Then send in the Talkback data. That way, our recorded MTBF goes up. ;-)

  4. Re:grr spell check grrr by Gerv · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it possible that they could make it all the way to 1.0 without a simple spell check feature?

    Perfectly possible, and extremely likely.

    surely there must be open source dictionaries they could implement?

    Probably. The trick is finding someone to do the implementing.

    Can't they use netscape 4.x's dictionary?

    No. It's proprietary.

    I'm too ashamed to recommend Mozilla to my friends

    ...because you know they can't spell?
