Mozilla.org Relaunched
mpeach writes "Mozilla Organization has launched its new Web site and it's looking a fair bit sleeker than it used to. No new product releases to go with the new look unfortunately, but, according to the Firefox 1.0 Roadmap, release candidates of the latest browser are getting closer by the day."
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040901 Firefox/1.0 PR (NOT FINAL)
as of 09/01/2004... Broke some extensions BTW!

What planet did YOUR dictionary come from, Beavis? It's a clumsy word, but it's perfectly legitimate modern English. I applaud anybody who does grammar/spelling/usage flames/complaints on Slashdot, but in this case there's nothing to complain about.
Mozilla.org has been looking at your user agent for quite a while to determine which OS you are using and offer you the appropriate download.
If you use Windows or a Mac, you'll get offered the downloads for those initially instead.
Not on the homepage, but it's not really hidden either.
Life isn't a bitch. Life is a virgin. A bitch is easy.
yes. afaik that's the whole point.
and really why not: lighter, faster and just as good if not better. firefox tries to be what most people seem to be looking from mozilla anyways: a good web browser(very few use the extra stuff in the 'full' mozilla anyways and if they're available as seperate in the future there's no problem there either).
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
OK, so this is off topic. But I just tried the new MSN music site and some of the buttons (like search) don't work in FireFox. What a piece of crap. I'm going back to IE. (just kidding, about going back that is. The search button really is DOA).
They stopped showing the Zips on the main page because they wanted to test the installer properly.
There were still problems with it on 0.9, I don't know if they are fixed yet.
Do not meddle in the affairs of geeks for they are subtle and quick to anger
Does that mean that Mozilla will be superseded at some point by Firefox??
Yes, this has been the plan for sometime. See the Roadmap in particular point (1.) under "a new roadmap" and also Rationale

Here's what it says for me:
Here's what my browser sends to them:
I'm not sure what they offer you if they don't know.
Yeah, I'm using Windows. But...uh...I'm at work...and they make me!
End the FUD
Not sure what you see, but when I go to the firefox page, I see a huge div on the right, saying:
`Download Now!`
Seriously, are you on the right page?

In all of the Mozilla browsers, on XP SP2 at work and OSX at home, Slashdot overwrites the lefthand "menus" and the main section text - about a fifth of the time. Usually a re-load will fix it. This is present in Mozilla, Firefox, and Camino.
It depends on if you're running Windows or something else. On Windows, it behaves as you'd expect. On Linux, I'm still doing the old copy-location, paste-location trick. :(
If you're running Gnome 2.6, go to Applications -> Desktop Prefs -> Advanced -> Preferred Applications, and select the Mail Reader tab. Then check the Custom Mail Reader radio button and enter
into the text entry box. It works for me, at least (running Debian unstable). Too bad this isn't automatic.

Actually the screenshot is the default theme.
Its actually a lot better looking if you right-click>customize>use small icons. I thought I'd be busy downloading themes, but the ugly default theme is actually pretty handsome and useable when using "small icons."
Firefox 0.9.3, and all others before it, on my WinXP machine, have had the same problem - sometimes the text renders too far to the left overlapping the side menu. This is a well known problem. A quick refresh fixes the rendering, so it is not a big deal. But you would think that by now, so close to 1.0, such an obvious problem would have been taken care of.

great!

I thought that too... until I tried to print my schedule and it froze up. That said, it's good enough that I use it for my calendaring. But isn't anywhere near as polished as Firebird and Thunderbird.
It's not mozilla-only, it is infact w3c standards compliant and as such renders fine in all standards-complient browsers; as such it renders fine in Opera 7.x
There's mischief and malarkies but no queers or yids or darkies within this bastard's carnival, this vicious cabaret.
