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."

There is also a plug-in under work, which displays this sink when you type about:kitchensink

Crap!

Yeah! Got the Linux and Windows versions before the Slashdotting! In your face, Taco!

Phoenix dead at age 1

[Anonymous Coward]

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.

No prob.
Rembember it's Phoenix, it will just raise again and start a new life!

Was it found dead next to Stephen King?

Autocomplete

[Anonymous Coward]

Autocomplete: the only browser feature that can turn Disney.com into DonkeyHumpingMaidens.com.

Re:Autocomplete

[bill_mcgonigle]

You mean autocomplete knows about Disney's lobbying efforts in Washington? That machine learning stuff is pretty clever.

Neat feature

"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.

If it will make you feel better, I'll send you a giant pic of Janet Reno out of her bikini.

Mozilla! Machine learning????

I just barely got done downloading Netscape 4! stupid 1200 baud modem!

You know your internet connection is slow...

[Kjella]

...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.

[the_other_one]

At least it doesn't have an operating system built into it like IE.

Re:Already installed

[artemis67]

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).

Re:What about phoenix?

[Pxtl]

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

Mozilla is fantastic :-) :-)

[AtomicX]

Nice OS, all it needs now is an internet browser. [SlashCompo: Fastest Post to Get a Troll Mod]

They call autosize a feature!?

[faust13]

Do you have any idea how much porn I didn't keep because autosize made it too small??? Not Mozilla too, geez...

Nope

Re:What about phoenix?

[Negatyfus]

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?

[MBCook]

I think AOL can hold up aginst a slashdotting...

That sounds like a challenge! Everyone, hit AOL quick! We can do it! GO GO GO!

Sorry, couldn't resist ;)
