    No, they probably haven't, because Mozilla is not really supposed to be an end-user browser. It is supposed to be the engine for other end-user browsers. At least, that was its original intent. So leaving the debug stuff in the 1.0 makes sense, since they are always developing and not making a mass consumption product.

    5 minutes with the new browser under Mac OS X, surfing slashdot and mozillazine and the darn thing crashed on me!

    What is their exact definition of a 'final' release?

  5. Re:Not bad at all. by ivan256 · · Score: 1, Troll

    Why aren't you refusing to use IE because it doesn't support CSS correctly? It's time for MS to bite the bullet, and support some web standards like everybody else.

  6. Not switching to it until bug #58554 is fixed! by pomakis · · Score: 1, Troll

    I just wish that bug #58554 would be fixed so that I can have use xv as my helper aplication for images. Why this is listed as an RFE and not a bug is beyond me. If you configure Mozilla to use "xv" as the helper application for MIME type "image/gif" and it continues to render the GIF inside the browser window, it's clearly a bug, and an annoying one at that! It's the only thing keeping me from switching from Netscape 4.x to Mozilla.

    Are you aware of how much money that shrew of a man has? Percentage-wise, he gives next to nothing.

    Aw, c'mon. How do you know how much he gives? Cursory google search turned up that Bill Gates is the greatest philanthropist in American history. At the very least,in 1999, he made what is believed to be the largest ever individual donation to charity..

    I don't like his business practices, but as a philanthropist I don't think he deserves the scorn. (And, quite frankly, I don't care what his motivations for giving are either. The world would be better off if people always did the right thing for the wrong reasons, rather than the other way around.)

  8. Re:Mozilla slower then NS4.7 on Solaris by Kanasta · · Score: 1, Troll

    What I really want to know is, why does it take 3s to open the bookmarks tab, and when you go away and come back, it takes 3s again?

    NS4.7 read bookmarks from a text file and took less than 1s, why is Moz so slow at everything?

    Feels like Java all over again!
