Mozilla 1.6 Beta Released
Sick Boy writes "As reported on Mozillazine, the Mozilla Foundation today released Mozilla 1.6 Beta. This latest milestone adds support for NTLM authentication on all platforms and improves the implementation on Windows. The automatic page translation feature has been restored (now powered by Google Language Tools) and a new version of ChatZilla, 0.9.48, is now included. In addition, several security and crash bugs have been fixed during the beta release cycle. Builds can be downloaded from the Mozilla Releases page or directly from the mozilla1.6b directory on ftp.mozilla.org. The Mozilla 1.6 Beta Release Notes have more detailed information about what's new and known issues to watch out for."
Yeah, u get free Internet Explorer on Windows so why not use it then, what will u lose anyway
Not that I doubt they can take the load, but why make 'em?
Holy Smokes! 1 peer, 1 seed and 184kbps??
You sir are seeding from the bandwidth of the gods!! My hats off to you!
I think the development team dropped that in favor of the ComiZilla project ... the port of Moz to the Commodore 64 ( ... the lead developer's email is apparently mccarthy@mozilla.org).
Because IE is insecure, does not have popup blocking, lacks many other features Mozilla does have and supports W3C standards better. Plus, it comes with a mail client that is more secure than outlook and has a well working spam filter built in.
;)
So apart from what's not in bold text above, you're saying that IE is a better browser?
Work on that syntax, son.
Okay while I agree with everything you said, your post seems terribly manufactured. I mean come on, everyone on Slashdot that's been here for at least 6 months knows Mozilla and open source are DaShiet(tm) and surely as someone with a UID that much lower than mine you already knew all this stuff. So do you make these kinds of posts every time there's a Mozilla article? Cause this is the first one I've seen. ;)
You're right, I wouldn't steal a car. But if it were possible, I sure as hell would download one!
After you've had your's, you can tell me when it's my turn.

I think there is a lack of priorities by the top managers at mozilla. How could making an installer be more important than making the brower faster.
You haven't quite got your head around this "open source" thing have you?

Does anybody else find it frightening that we have web browsers with automatic language translation? I mean, its awesome! But... where the hell was I when the world got all Star Trek?
I hope they develop firebird into a PIM suite
I dunno... I a bit sceptical about developing a web browser into a PIM suite. Surely that'll mean massive work underneath the hood.
On a more serious note, I see what you mean. Thunderbird would be amazing if it got task, scheduling, and contact support.

I for one welcome our new Mozilla 1.6 Beta overlords.
And all those clean looking blank pages saying just "skip intro".
Break into their houses at night and install Mozilla. Make it the default browser. Give in the IE icon.
Look out!
My dad was having the same problem - I moved him to Moz, since setting up a (1)Pop-up Blocker and (2) Junk Mail filter, via him on the phone, was more involved than just having him download/install Moz. He loves it - it moved over all his settings from IE, no more problems and no tech calls.

I download stuff at 2 Megabytes per second usually. I get my linux isos in 350 seconds.
Wow. I bet that gets the ladies all wet and anxious. You must be swatting them away like flies with bandwidth like that.

My dad was having the same problem at his work. I recommended he download Mozilla or Firebird.
The next day, he said, "So today I went through all my links and deleted the ones I never use. Now I don't get anywhere near as many popups."
I still don't know what he actually did.
Here's a hint: you don't tell me what to criticize or not and in return I don't tell you what I am telling you now!
Less is more !
