Mozilla.org Launches Mozilla 1.3
theBrownfury writes "Mozilla 1.3 is out and about. New to this version are features like image auto sizing, bayesian junk-mail filtering, dynamic profile switching, about:config for a pretty view into all of Mozilla's "secret" settings, an initial version of Midas for rich text editing, and a lot of other fixes for performance, standards compliance and site compatability. Also with 1.3 Mozilla is now applying machine learning to improve the autocomplete feature. Mozilla 1.3 is now the official stable release from mozilla.org. Users of all previous versions should upgrade to 1.3 for the latest in features and stability. More info at the 1.3 release page and discussions at mozillaZine.org."
what, no mp3 player?
Yeah! Got the Linux and Windows versions before the Slashdotting! In your face, Taco!
Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
I just heard this sad bit of news on talk radio; Slashdot browser star Phoenix was found dead in its Seattle home this morning. There weren't any details. Even if you didn't agree with its minimalist style, there's no doubting its contributions to browser culture. Truly an open source icon.
Autocomplete: the only browser feature that can turn Disney.com into DonkeyHumpingMaidens.com.
"Also with 1.3 Mozilla is now applying machine learning to improve the autocomplete feature."
Sounds good. Eventually I can just tell it "porn" and it will go grab all sorts of crazy shit for me to do naughty things to. Of course, I hope it doesn't work like the Tivo's related feature or I'll end up with 30 translations of goatse.cx and a giant pic of Janet Reno in a bikini.

Mozilla takes FIRE BREATHING REVENGE OF DOOM! LAUNCHES NUCLEAR MISSLES AT "THE THREAT"

Mozilla successfully slashdots slashdot with nuclear missles.
I just barely got done downloading Netscape 4! stupid 1200 baud modem!
...when you're downloading in the middle of a slashdotting, and it's *still* going at max speed. Sigh.

Make Moz1.3 look just like IE... with the IE skin.
Force-upgrade people without them noticing.
At least it doesn't have an operating system built into it like IE.

This is the quickest I ever installed software... hot off the press.
I LOVE mozilla... too bad more users don't have this expirience.
Just installed it on OS X. Installation was literally "dragon-drop" (ba dum bum).
I'm still waiting for the Bork Edition. Anyone know what the status is on that?
You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. The impossible just takes a little longer.
Looking at the new features - they got one of the more annoying features from IE in there - I can't stand the frigging image resize feature. If I want too look at pr0n, I want it to fill the screen in all its pixel-by-pixel glory, not some badly-rescaled image
Nice OS, all it needs now is an internet browser. [SlashCompo: Fastest Post to Get a Troll Mod]

MOZILLA was a browser, he was a dragon-browser, he was just a dragon, but he was still MOZILLA! Burninating the BLINK tags! Burninating the DOM! Burninating all the Frontpage users in their non-compliant HTML! (NON-COMPLIANT HTMLLLL!!!!!) AND THE BEAST SHALL COME FORTH SURROUNDED BY A ROILING CLOUD OF VENGEANCE... uh, I mean IN THE NIIIIIIGHT!

It is official; my access_log confirms: Phoenix is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Phoenix community when Microsoft confirmed that Phoenix market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all desktops. Coming on the heels of a recent review of my apache user agent logs which plainly states that Phoenix has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Phoenix is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent "Who's Yer Daddy" browser popularity contest.
Do you have any idea how much porn I didn't keep because autosize made it too small??? Not Mozilla too, geez...
For a better web browser that does support mp3 playing, go here.
You know where you are? You're in the $PATH, baby. You're gonna get executed!
I never understood the smooth scrolling feature in IE. It's so dreadfully annoying! It's simply not very accurate and the page seems to live its own life when using the mouse-wheel. I may be spastic, but I have always been unable to be friends with it. I say: "Go down a bit!" and IE responds with "Sure, let's fucking go down half a screen!" and then it takes its bloody time to do so, too! In the meantime, I have to wait a a whole half seconds before I can undo its over-generous scrolling efforts, upon which it decides I want to see five lines too much from the top of the viewscreen. I-- simply-- get-- the-- urge-- to-- kill when that damn feature's turned on. Who the hell thinks its useful, anyway? Do those people exist?
must be getting jealous just about now... ;p

Heh. Thanks, but I did that on purpose, since I knew someone would feel the need to correct me.
Thank you for falling into my trap. Watch out in the future!
Withdrawal before climax is very ineffective and those who try this are usually called "parents."
That sounds like a challenge! Everyone, hit AOL quick! We can do it! GO GO GO!
Sorry, couldn't resist ;)
