    Mozilla's drag and drop support has been greatly improved.

    How about disabling drag and drop under Linux, select and middle-click do everything I need. Drag and drop interferes with selection.

  2. I'm impressed by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been using Mozilla for a while now, both under linux and windows, and have been very impressed. 1.1 is even more impressive than 1.0, and some bug's that i've been having under linux are now fixed. Hooray to the Mozilla team, they're doing an excellent job.

  3. Re:Duplicates aren't always that bad - by BZ · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would not call "Layout" fine-grained. In the core components (DOM, layout, style system) keeping up with the new bug flow is nearly impossible. Style system is the one I have the most experience with, and 50% of those are duplicates, while a further 40% are misunderstandings of the CSS spec... Leaving 90% of the time spent on those bugs (or about 4 hours a day each for a few people) basically wasted.
