  1. Better story about RC2 by Nicopa · · Score: 5, Informative

    Mozilla 1.0 RC 2 has just been released and is already available for download. This is what has changed from the previous RC. New stuff include support for "HTTP pipelining", something which can increase performance by 50%! (disabled by default, check the releases notes).

    This was the story I have submitted, Slashdot staff is weird, really.. =)

  2. Au revoir link-toolbar by sab39 · · Score: 5, Informative

    We hardly knew you. [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13849 6 - not linkified in hopes of not /.ing bugzilla again]

    Back for 1.1, hopefully...

      If you look at what actually happened this feature was removed for 1.0, not for the 1.1. And if you look even closer you will see that it wasn't disabled because of 1 bug. It was disabled because of performance problems and incompatability with tabbed browsing.

    Did you install on top of a previous install? If you did then remove that install and start fresh (you won't lose your profile, it's stored in a different location).

    Try BannerBlind. Look at many other useful things at mozdev.org, too.

    I am not sure if you have tried this but there is a section in the release notes about using Mozilla with Junkbuster at www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/#general

    And here is the text for those too lazy to scroll down....

    Mozilla needs to be configured to work properly with proxies such as Junkbuster that do not support the most recent HTTP specification. By default, Mozilla tries to use HTTP 1.1. To use Mozilla with a proxy that only supports HTTP 1.0, edit the HTTP Version from 1.1 to 1.0 in Edit | Preferences | Debug | Networking. (Bug 38488)

    Any while you're at it. Switch to Privoxy. It's based on Internet Junkbuster but has some advanced features like the ability to replace text within the html code itself. I use this to block flash ads on a per website basis.

  7. Re:please!!! produce an unstripped linux nightly by asa · · Score: 4, Informative

    There are talkback nightly builds for linux. If you can reproduce a crash consistently then file a bug. You don't have to have a stack if you can repro regularly. If it's reproducible then someone else can get the stack.

    Try MozillaZine for information on nightlies, and daily status updates. Or, you could add the MozillaZine Slashbox to your homepage.
