Firefox 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite 1.7 Released

Posted by Zonk on from the get-your-dinosaurs-here dept.

ESqVIP writes "Not long after Firefox 1.0.2 is out, there's a new public release. Just like the other 1.0.x releases, this is mostly a security fix. The release should hold for a few more days and we could also get bug 171349 (wrong icon displayed on Win9x) fixed. Mozilla Suite, on the other hand, has quite significant changes, some of them "imported" from Firefox. As announced before, this might be the Suite's last major release from the Mozilla Foundation."

    What does this mean? Are you saying the Windows icon being displayed everywhere in Win9x bug has been fixed, or that it'll be fixed in the next release, or were you being sarcastic that they would release a program in use by tens of millions of people without bothering to fix a trivial cosmetic error which makes the program look amaturish to anybody not on WinNT/2k/XP?

    Personally, FF crashes on me what seems like 2 or 3 times more often than IE crashes, usually when using PDFs, but also a LOT when coming out of hibernation.

    maybe if they programmed it right in the first place, they wouldnt have to release so many security fixes.

    " Could you be more specific in your summaries please?"

    Are you serious? That's like asking the /. editors to proof read, check for grammar/spelling errors, and to check to make sure the post isn't a dup.

    Microsoft security fixes = shitty software
    open source security patches = healthy software

    You open source zealots are unbelievable.
