Mozilla 1.7.5 Released

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the here-comes-the-lizard dept.

shokk writes "Mozilla 1.7.5 is out for all platforms. See the changelog for more details. Quite a few bug fixes are in this. A number of the bugs are Firefox/Mozilla specific, so you can expect that these will be avilable in the upcoming Firefox 1.1 Deer Park (that's good browser!) release. Is the Mozilla suite no longer at the forefront of browser technology, long surpassed by Firefox and Thunderbird? Will we ever see a Mozilla suite composed of Firefox and Thunderbird to keep it all simple? What are your reasons for running the old standby suite over the Firefox/Thunderbird combo?"

    Now that Firefox has become popular I have to use Mozilla to prop up my feeble ego by running against the current and sneering at those along the way.

    ...by Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X, Tab, Ctrl-V (a real pain)

    Back in my day we didn't have a Ctrl key. You had to hold down C-T-R-L all at the same time as the the A, the X, and the V. Then you had to run the deck and check back with operator in a few hours to see your paste ran ok.

    It wasn't such a slow news day when 1.7.4 came out.

    Because you can't remember the first part of your search?
    You need to see it all so you can say to yourself, "damn that's a fine query"?

    Honestly.
    Besides if you screwed up the query, enter it again when you get to the search site. Deal.
