Mozilla 1.7 Beta Is Faster And Smaller

Posted by timothy on from the working-nicely-here dept.

ccady writes "Mozilla 1.7 beta is out. Not too many new features, but "Mozilla 1.7 size and performance have improved dramatically with this release. When compared to Mozilla 1.6, Mozilla 1.7 Beta is 7% faster at startup, is 8% faster at window open time, has 9% faster pageloading times, and is 5% smaller in binary size." I'll be downloading it."

    > Does anybody know why they stopped putting Talkback into the OS X pre-release versions since 1.6 alpha

    'cos OS X users don't bother reporting bugs - why bother when you can shell out 100 GBP/ 180 USD/ year, and have someone else fix them for you in the next OSX point release
