Run For Cover; It's Mozilla 1.4 Alpha

Posted by timothy on from the you-could-be-the-lucky-winner dept.

asa writes "Mozilla 1.4 Alpha is out. This release features dynamic image and table resizing in Composer, smooth scrolling (see release notes for enabling this feature,) and usability improvements to spam filtering. In addition to these feature improvements, 1.4a also contains fixes for performance, stability, standards support and website compatibility. This is an alpha release so expect bugs, and don't use it unless you are willing to live with the risks inherent in such a release (ie. crashes, data loss, etc.). More information is available in the release notes."

  1. Mozilla, open sores web browser, dead at 1.0 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I just heard some sad news on the radio. The "so-called" popular and open sores web browser Mozilla has died at 1.0. Doctors say the death was caused by bugs of some sort, lots of them. Truly a world icon, it will be missed by the slashdot community.

  2. Moz? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Whenever I see some "great new feature" of Mozilla, I've been using it for a great while in Opera or even, god forbid, IE.
    The only thing that truly is unique about it is the massive bloat, and that's not a good thing. At least Gecko is quite good and may be useful in some other projects, though it seams KHTML is much faster from where I sit.

    And Germany. Altough not a permanent member, they were against, helping the lobby against USA.

    But it's so much easier to blame Mozilla than admit that you made a mistake!

    In your original post you blamed Mozilla for your problems. Now you're blaming decisions that others made. The one thing to remember about BS is to at least keep your story straight!

    Better yet, just leave off the blaming part in your real-life stories and just stick to the facts.
