Highlights include support for NTLM authentication, usability improvements, and lots of performance, stability, and site compatibility fixes. As always, the release notes have more detailed info on changes."

    Is this version still beta then, since they didn't number it 1.4.1?

    NTLM = New Technology (just) Like Microsoft.

    Last time I checked, my bookmark pointed to slashdot.org, and not to freshmeat.net.

    Okay.. so a minor version upgrade for Mozilla. Why exactly is this front page news? I wouldn't mind but the release notes don't exactly show anything particularly mind-blowing. Am I underestimating NTLM?

    Pardon my cynicism, but Slashdot's love-affair with Mozilla is quite overrated. It's as if Opera doesn't even exist.

      Opera's just a browser.

      Mozilla is something much bigger.

      I like how some Jackass can mod me down because I didn't sing the praises of Mozilla, but he can't answer my questions. Makes me think that there isn't a strong answer to my questions. Am I wrong?

    You Finnish folks just f*cking piss me off. Who the fuck cares if you're going to install it or not? Shouldn't be hunting elk for something for your 6-month night? I guess that's the currency you barbarians use when trying to obtain your idyllic blonde woman, so that you reach a higher status in your Lapland village or whatever. You guys don't even have a proper European language. You are like the creepy guy in seventh grade that no one liked and everyone hated sitting next to in a field trip.

    F*ck you, Fin-boy and the goddamn sled that you came on. Take your stinking crummy Nokia cellphone and shove it up your ass when sitting in Saab, Volvo, or whatever IKEA contraption you drive.

    And if I made references to Swedish or Norwegian items, then f*ck them too. All lousy Scandinavians need a good ass-kicking.

    I'll settle for "doesn't crash when I try to load some CNET news article, or the CSU Fresno home page".

    I'm a big Mozilla & Phoenix/Firebird user, but I'm quite tired of having my browser crash when trying to load certain websites. I don't care how bad the page is written, the browser should be able to handle it in a way other than crashing entirely.

    Sometimes I'm typing in a text box in one of my tabs while another tab's loading in the background and when the other tab finishes loading the text box suddenly stops accepting input in my current tab. I mean, what the fuck? Those stupid fucks won't even listen to my bug reports. Fucking Mac OS X users. Stupid fucks can't even use a fucking simple, stable BSD UNIX properly without fucking it up with their 'Applescript' and 'holy shit my folders are coloured'. Fuck you pussies. You're the reason why my forms and tabs are fucked up, you fucking fucks.

    except for that flamboyantly gay "About" graphic. That's the gayest firebird I've ever seen.
