Mozilla Branches For 1.0 RC1

At the end of last month, the Mozilla Project closed the tree for what will become Mozilla 1.0. Now jkeiser writes "Mozilla has branched for 1.0 RC1, which is the first last step to a final Mozilla 1.0! Mozilla has spent four long years getting the browser standards-compliant, fast and solid. Cross your fingers for a rockin' final release around the corner." Reader whovian points to the just-modified roadmap, too.

I can't wait

Since I am forced to use Windows at work, for a long time IE was the best choice. The "page widening posts" by our friend Klerck I tried Mozilla, and I didn't like it, so I settled on Opera. I'd much rather use something open source to redeem myself for the sins of using an MS OS, so hopefully Mozilla will great improve (and soon).

Re:Right-click Back

I've always hated how the menu's change positions of items depending on what the mouse is hovering over. I'd rather have grayed out options than have moving options. It makes for a guessing game.

On pr0n sites, sometimes I don't even know if I'm over an image or not and having to read and think about the right click menu is pretty annoying.

Also, what's with the menu popping out at a different corner of the mouse cursor depending upon which side of the screen I am on? Do I really need to stop, wait, and think for the damn thing to unfold before I start moving the mouse towards whichever option I want to choose? Wouldn't it be better if the menu always unfurolled in the same direction so that I could always move the mouse down the same fixed distance that I trained myself to do. I don't care if the cursor jumps up or over or wherever in order to accomplish this, let's just keep the menu the same (Apple has a okay solution to this, but IMO it's still wrong).

Speaking of unfurolling, should the menu come out from the center around the mouse? That minimizes the distance all of the options and they can put the most common options smack dab in the middle--- never move the mouse.

Or do you really believe RMS' crap about how using closed source is wrong??

Yes!

But then I have a strong sense of morality and ethics. And I understand that my actions do affect the world I live in now and the one I will live in in the future.

I also think that public service is a worthy calling and that money is not the be all end all of my participation in society. Childish whiners who grew up on a diet off Rush Limbaugh and Ayn Rand may call me crazy; I prefer to think of myself as civilised.

Subjects are gay. As are you, reader.

I'm not a Microsoftie or anything, I just hate shitty browsers. And when you're a dirty GNU hippie communist Lunix homofag, that's all you have. Shitty browsers.
