    Ooh Wow, the lastest version of a buggy, slow, bloated browser! I can't wait to downgrade my system again!

    I'll stick with IE, thanks.

      It's obvious you haven't used Mozilla recently (like, the last three releases). Fantastic standards-compliant browser with excellent USER-FRIENDLY - as opposed to ADVERTISER-FRIENDLY - customization and privacy options.

      And on my system, using Mozilla's quick start option, it loads FASTER than IE.

      I'd love to chat, but I'm gonna rush off to get the new release!

    My response to this is, that our society would be a lot better off without you lawyer scum always poo poo'ing everything. Maybe if you got out of your ambulance chaser and started coding, you'd have something to complain about. Until then, keep it to yourself buddy!

    I'm sure they hardly care about FreeBSD users, who make up such a small minority that compiling anything for them is wasting time / resources.

    It's like offering a compiled version for Microsoft Bob users - no one will download it, and if they did, they'd just be laughed at.

    Get a real OS, then you can be entitled to bitch about lack of binaries for your backwater, unsecure, amateur operating system that'll never be anything more than a train wreck of code that lifeless hobbyists twiddle with.

    Peace.

    Um, that's my text. I'm the co-author of the release notes and the originator of the what's new section. I would think that I'm allowed to post that here and save a bit of load on our releases page (not to mention the added convenience for /. readers).

    Moz-team, but please, hire Jakob Nielsen before 1.0 ships.

    So they can waste a lot of money on someone who can't even design their own page? I've seen at least 3 or 4 usability tests of useit.com and all of them said that it was the most difficult and hard to understand site of all the ones they used. Most of them stopped at 'I don't understand what this site is about.'

  10. Inspect and edit the live DOM? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Uh, no. Slashdot needs a little more BS filtering. A fake screenshot made with GIMP is not a system to "inspect and edit."

    PS: The standard Edit->Find doesn't exist. It's under Search -> Find in this page. Also, doing a search for text on even a small page can take 30+ seconds. It also reads over 30 Mbytes from the drive. That's right, it's reading something. It's not swapping. What could justify that bloat?
