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."

    Just a correction to the original story, Firefox 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite 1.7.*7* was released today, not 1.7.

      And here's a link to the correct readme file for Mozilla 1.7.7 .

    This should fix the Add/Remove Programs bug where installing a new version over the old version leaves the both entries in the Add/Remove list.

    Other than that, mostly just security issues.

    False: firefox 1.0.3 has gecko 1.7.7, same as the current Seamonkey suite. Only the unreleased 1.8beta suites have newer versions, but there won't be an official 1.8 suite release by the Mozilla foundation. Firefox 1.1 will be the official release of gecko 1.8. There is a group of old Seamonkey developers working on a release of the suite 1.8 (under a different name), but I doubt they'll have something ready before firefox 1.1.

    If you want to count beta's, the firefox trunk nightlies have gecko 1.8 as well.
