Mozilla 1.2 Betas Start Flowing

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the beware-the-lizard dept.

Asa Dotzler writes "Today mozilla.org released Mozilla 1.2alpha. This is a preview of what's to come with Mozilla 1.2 expected in early November. The new alpha contains great new features like Type Ahead Find which allows quick web page navigation when you type a succession of characters in the browser. In addition to the new features Mozilla 1.2a contains stability and perfomance improvements including a major boost in the speed of downloading mail on Mac OS X.This release comes on the heels of the security and bugfix follow-up to Mozilla 1.0. If you're a 1.0 user and you're not upgrading to Mozilla 1.1 or newer then you are strongly encouraged to get Mozilla 1.0.1 for security and stability fixes."

    Maybe if you read your own link (bugzilla bug 28568, copy link and paste in address bar) you would notice that this is fixed in 1.2a, but you have to use a hidden pref to enable it:

    user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true)

    So next time, try READING instead of posting a useless flame about your favorite bug.
