I really like those new "Opera-Style" Features. And of course the new one is a bit more stable.
But the E-Mail Client is still something to work on (stability/speed), I like KMail a hundred times better... maybe in the next version...

Boycot? Blackout? Subscriptions?
I don't care!
Changelog:
* The History and Mail&News applications now allow you to reorder columns with drag and drop. For instance, if you prefer to have the date listed first in your mail thread pane, drag the Date header onto the Subject header and the Date column will move to the first position.
* Warnings in the JavaScript console now show the text of the offending line.
* Venkman, the JavaScript Debugger is now available in complete installer builds. Remember to choose 'complete' install, instead of 'typical'. Start the debugger under the Tasks/Tools menu or from the command line with mozilla -venkman.
* Mozilla has a new experimental Tabbed Browsing feature. Press Ctrl+T to open a new tab. (Bug 101973.)
* People who like tabbed browsing may also like the mozilla gestures add-on, Optimoz now available at mozdev.org.
* SOCKS proxies (both v4 and v5) can now be used with all protocols (Bug 89500) except MailNews. Using socks with MailNews is covered by bug 44995.
* Mozilla has a new Site Navigation Bar for navigating sites that use the element (like Bugzilla buglists.) Choose the menu item View | Show/Hide | Site Navigation bar | Show As Only Needed to make the toolbar show up automatically when you visit pages that use the element.
* The View Source window now has a context menu with items for Find, Copy, and Select.
It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.
just a heads up for anyone else out there letting OS X monopolize their time like i have been. omniweb is nice, but so unfinished it makes mozilla look like oracle, Opera beta 5.0 b1.327 rocks very hard, but is just a weeeee too scandi-alien for my tastes - oh and it quits at the first sign of trick xml.
(yeah IE 5.1 is rock solid... but it makes me feel so dirty...)
I'd rather wait for someone to create a binary instead.
PSM already does that, as far as my usage of it goes. You can start using PSM for autocompleting your forms also.
The username showing as "*" is something not present, but why would you need that?
#include
SSL is handled by PSM. When you install Mozilla, also install PSM to get SSL working.
Is it really that hard to type:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org: /cvsrootcvs
cvs co mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
gmake -f client.mk checkout
gmake -f client.mk build
For all of you using the new tabbed interface of mozilla, its just a simple copy of what the multizilla guys did
[http://multizilla.mozdev.org/] This is a much better interface with many many more features. Give it a try, and report those bugs.
The goal of computer science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.
Every feature adds bugs. Some are probably crashs, some of them might even be security bugs.
Also, the more time you spend on features, the less time you have for bugfixing the rest.
Go to preferences -> Internet Search and choose Google from the list. Then just type the search term in the URL bar.
You can speak about: ...
* security holes of IE
* password-protected list of username/passwords
* integration with search engines
* tab browsing
* faster and more accurate rendering for complex web pages (with many tables)
* full alpha-channel in PNG
* javascript pop-up control
* intelligent cookies/pictures manager
* pretty interface (new modern theme is so sweet)
*
If you can't seem to get the Java plugin to work, please read the instructions in the release notes:a

There's an option you can add to your preferences file that will disable javascript window popups that aren't the direct result of a mouse click. I think it's the following line (from my prefs.js), but I'm not totally sure. Check mozilla newsgroups or the /. discussion for 0.9.4 for more info...
user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load",true);
Yes! That guy!
Make sure you delete your Mozilla profile and create it new again. It can do strange things with old profiles.
About the GPG/PGP support: This is bug 56052. Even if you cannot help, you can vote for it.
Seems like OS X is constantly a late release, if it gets released at all.
:-) Part of the reason is that it requires an experimental, pre-release version of Apple's gcc-based compiler.
That's because there are about five people on the planet capable of building Mozilla for OS X, and they are all very busy

The back button and cnn.com is bug 103978. You can vote for bug 103978.
You now have Mozilla set up to use a single password to encrypt all the passwords you use on the 'net. If you look around those two areas a bit more in preferences, you can also set how often you have to enter the password, etc. It's also really smart - for example, if you change your password, it'll automagically update it. And everytime you enter a new password, it asks you whether you want to remember it or not.
Sorry, I meant XUL fast load not the cache:
user_pref ("nglayout.debug.disable_xul_fastload", false);
No, I imaginve after 9.9 it'll go to 9.10.
Those aren't decimal points there.
Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach either, do tech support.
Sorry, that line should also be in user.js instead of prefs.js :)
And not only that, but there is (yet another) unadvertised pref. Adding:
, true);
user_pref("browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick"
to prefs.js, or better, user.js, allows you to open a new tab by clicking the middle button on a link.
Ctrl-T > new tab
Link toolbar > View > Show/Hide > Site Navigation Toolbar
Also, check out Optimoz, for mozilla gestures.
In the works are a quick search for mailnews and user configurable email coloring.
actually mozilla doesn't support the blink tag...
That should be --enable-optimize=-XX

One word: i18n
I'm an Chinese student studying in the US. My machine uses US locale, but I visit some Chinese sites (edcoded in GB or BIG5) frequently. In the Netscape 4.x days, whenever I visit a Chinese page, I have to manually change the encoding. I've switched to Mozilla since 0.9.2, which has i18n support as good as in IE, and includes automatic recognizing different encodings and displaying Chinese characters in bookmark entries. Most importantly, it works _out of box_.
On the other hand, I've also tried Opera for Linux and Konqueror (bundled in Mandrake 7.2 and 8.0). As far as I know, there's no i18n support in Opera to speak with. For Konqueror, I tried changing encodings and fonts etc., but all Chinese characters were still rendered as blank boxes. I'm sure if I tweak Konqueror hard enough it will eventually work, but since Mozilla is working so well [1] there's no reason to waste extra time.
[1] Performance-wise, Moilla has been improved tremendously. My machine is a Celeron 433 with 384M memory, which is middle-end at best by today's standard. However, Mozilla 0.9.4 runs both stable and fast on it, and does not take large amounts of memory as it used to.
You can always take it out of your personal copy of html.css. Open up the jar files in your Mozilla install using some Zip tool until you find it. Edit the file in-place (decent zip tools can do that) to remove the part that references blink.
