Mozilla Releases Firefox 1.0 RC1
islandroots writes "Mozilla has finally posted the first Firefox 1.0 release candidate on their FTP servers. This could very well be the last official release of Firefox before the big 1.0 launch date on November 9th. Mozilla FTP Servers"
After reading comments that indicate that your installed extensions will show up as incompatible with RC1, I think I'll wait. Apparently the browser has to automatically consider extensions as incompatible until authors check them or something along those lines.

If you've already downloaded 1.0 PR (the "feature complete" preview) and you're not really interested in testing and bug reporting, then you should probably stick with 1.0 PR for a couple more weeks and upgrade when we release the official Firefox 1.0.

Here is a short javascript bookmarklet that fixes table rendering. To prevent Slashcode from mangling it, I've inserted some linebreaks. Condense it back into one line and then use it as a bookmarked URL; whenever you select it, it will fix all of the incremental-display bugs on the current page.

javascript:(function(){
var s=document.body.style;
var x=s.display;
s.display='none';
s.display=x;
})
The bug is fixed in trunk. But unfortunately the fix won't make it for Firefox 1.0 as the merge of the two source trees will only be made after release (due to need of excessive regression testing).i d=21752 7#c108
Bug about the issue is here:

this dodgy website [slashdot.org]. I am using 1.0 RC1 at the moment and it often renders this site very badly, hiding the text in negative-X land.
Fixed in the trunk builds, and will therefore be in all Firefox versions after Firefox 1.0 Final.
This is Bugzilla bug #217527.

Right off of the spreadfirefox.com website:
a note to SFX community: This is a testing release. This is not a product release. We're not pushing this release on our PR users. The majority of PR users should stick with PR until 1.0 ships. This is a testing release and we don't need everyone downloading it, just the folks that want to be involved with testing and bug reporting. Please don't evangelize this release or start pushing all your friends and family to upgrade. Most of them should wait until 1.0 in about two weeks.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Because someone trolls the web all night waiting for Mozilla to release another version of Firefox, they get rewarded with their in lights on the front page of slashdot. Did you wonder why it's only on the FTP server and not advertised on the web site?

There was this little thing called "resistence" that the French had. You know, they were actively fighting against the armies occupying their soil and helping UK and allied troops with intelligence on how to hurt the Germans. They also forced the Germans to have a very large military presence in France in order to keep the peace....
Mother is the best bet and don't let Satan draw you too fast.
Read your history schmuck. Louis XVI was King of France during the American Revolution. He started helping in 1775 (that's right, before 1776). So the French had everything to do with it. Since it put such a financial strain on France, helping the Americans with the American Revolution may ultimately have been a contributing factor in the French Revolution and Louis XVI's death.
At the time of the American Revolution Napoleon was just starting military school. He didn't start fighting any battles till the late 1790's.
As well, since it seems you probably didn't hear about it, Napoleon was French. In fact, he was the Emperor of France, but that wasn't until 1804. He was kicked out in 1814 and tried for a come-back in 1815, and failed at Waterloo. He died (suspected poisoning) in his prison on St. Helena in 1821.
France has won many wars. That is why there are so many French or former French territories around the world. Get your hillbilly ass off the moonshine or meth or whatever you are smoking, and actually learn what you are talking about.
You are probably a troll, but I had to say it anyway.
