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."

  3. Phoenix dead at age 1 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.

  4. Autocomplete by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

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

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

    "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.

    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.

    For a better web browser that does support mp3 playing, go here.
