Posted by michael on from the how-did-that-get-in-there dept.

joyoflinux writes "The people at Mozilla have announced that Mozilla 1.2 contained a bug that caused sites that use DHTML to fail (more on the front page). They have pulled 1.2 from the releases page, pending a 1.2.1 release."

    That will fix it

    This is news because it was severe enough to back out of the release.

    It's like an automotive recall or toy choking hazard:
    DHTML could explode and make you go blind if you keep using Mozilla 1.2. Several Tripod users and viewers of garish movie promo sites have already sustained serious mental frustration. We are working with local authorities to prevent riots.

    Is it just me, or have there have been an awful lot of "Just switch to Windows so you can use Windows Update! It's so easy to upgrade!" and "Upgrading Windows is easy! You just have to download the latest service pack!" posts lately? Methinks Microsoft is planting people (again).

    Nevermind that Mozilla took a whopping 3 minutes to install once I had downloaded it, and required nothing more from me than to make a new directory and unpack the tarball. I kept waiting for the part where it would be hard to install (all the Windows fanboys keep telling me installing anything on Linux is next to impossible), but it never came. Too bad about the DHTML bug, though.

    Indeed, this bug means that it's impossible to moderate using win 9x and IE. (Let's see the smart arse replies to that one)
