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."

    "So what your telling me is that open source software has security flaws? I thought these things only happened to closed software products!!!! OMG"

    NO no no! When OSS software has security flaws, it's great news because it shows how great OSS is! But when it's evil bad nazi closed source software, it's just further proof that it should be replaced by free (well, we're using the glamorous definition of the word free. 'Liberated code' sounds a lot better than $0.00...) alternatives!

    (Disclaimer: I'm picking on sensationalism here, not OSS.)

    They need IBM to hire some FF developers...to create a OS/2 version. Then you can view your PDFs with ease!

    It was about a four hour compile, and when it was done, guess which site I go to to see if it's working: slashdot.

    And guess what the fucking story is?

    Fucking Firebox releases fucking 1.0.3.

    Whatever. At least it wasn't a dupe.
