Mozilla RC3 Released

Posted by timothy on from the moz-developers-deserve-laurels-and-gold dept.

pjdepasq was one of many reader to submit the news that "Those fine folks at Mozilla.org rolled out RC3 on Thursday I noted. They say it's the last planned release before 1.0, which I'm guessing is right around the corner. As a fan of the project (I'm using it on 3 platforms!), kudos to all of you!" Here are the release notes.

    I don't find Moz any slower or bloated than IE. It's a hell of a lot more useable though.

    If it's too slow for you than by a Duron 950 like I did, they cost next to nothing.

    "Mozilla/Netscape cant render page X"

    Maybe it WOULD render page X if you stopped using IE and wrote that same msg to the site owner

    Not really. I have a page that will render right in IE but not in Moz, mainly because Moz doesn't seem to support the backgroung = fixed property. (Yes, I know that's not the exact code, but it's 6.30, and I'm late for work.)

    And IE redefines the terms "instable" and "buggy". It is a horrible piece of software, that crashes everytime. And when it crashes, it brings the whole OS down, forcing you to reboot. If your are lucky, your unsaved documents won't be lost. And let's not start to mention the security holes in IE - every month six new security problems are discovered.

    I have 128 MB RAM and Mozilla is pretty solid and stable, in Windows I use RC02 and in Linux I use 0.98.
