Mozilla 1.1 Beta Out And About
asa writes: "Today mozilla.org released Mozilla 1.1 Beta. New to this release are full-screen mode for Linux, BiDi Hebrew improvements, Arabic shaping improvements for Linux, and significant improvements to Venkman, the best cross-platform JavaScript debugger on the planet. Binaries and release notes available at http://www.mozilla.org/releases/. You can read more about this release at mozilla.org and mozillazine.org and if you want to see how this release fits into the overall 1.1 development cycle there's a pretty picture available at the Mozilla Development Roadmap."
Are the Arabic and Hebrew improvements going to start killing and bombing each other?
I don't like having to wait 3 days because...
because you are an impatient fart knocker.
It's three fucking days, what are you in such a hury for.

Gee(e^15)z! 'Mozlla 1.1 Beta Out And About'. You know, it seems people rush to be 'the one' that posts a story. Come on, people! It's kind of like the people that wish for a MUSH to go down so they could get the botspot. There are more important things. Like not getting moderated -1, Troll. Why do I have a feeling I'm going to get a 'troll'? But more on-topic wise, some people always hate other software. It's not a new concept. So, I don't take it as a suprise that Opera, Gentoo, and other users feel they 'must' chime-in on their opinion of Mozilla. Why is this? Is it that they hate the software so much they can't stand the idea of someone else using it happily? Or is it the same principal that causes 'Mozlla'?
Mozilla mis-renders pages in OS X 10.1.5 on my Dual G4 all the time. I'd say about one out of seven pages loads improperly, not because the site isn't standards-compliant, but because Mozilla's rendering engine doesn't play nice. I'm talking about the white spaces that appear after you resize a window, only to be filled in with content when you scoll the window. Stupid, retarded crap like that.
Also, everyone raves about the ability to kill popups. But they don't rave about all the links that just do nothing when you click on them because Mozilla isn't smart enough to follow popup links in the same window. Or what about all the links that open new windows, but then just hang indefinitely? I'd be asking for a whole lot more than goddamn arabic letters if I were a Mozilla user. It sucks so bad, I'm using IE again.
And another thing: Mozilla has learned *nothing* since Netscape 4. What is with that clumsy profile manager? It still runs like a goddamn add-on that isn't properly integrated. And don't even get me started on the *IDIOTIC* layout of the preference panels in Mozilla, which are another unwelcome hold over from Netscape. It's actually amazingly depressing how crummy Mozilla turned out to be. You only think it's good because it's not made by Microsoft. Your idea of good is tainted by Microsoft's mediocrity.
And what is with that childish splash screen? I can almost see where the geek used photoshop's finger tool to make the dragon's firebreath effect. Grow up. And what about the agonizingly long time Mozilla takes to start up? It's probably loading Chatzilla and the fucking email client that no one wants, needs or uses. Mozilla is a profound failure.
