Firefox 1.05 Released

Zebbie writes "The Mozilla Foundation released Firefox 1.05 today. The release notes indicate that there have been some 'security fixes' and 'improvements to stability.' From the web site: 'Firefox 1.0.5 is a security update that is part of our ongoing program to provide a safe Internet experience for our customers. We recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version.' It is interesting that these security updates are not yet posted on the security advisories page."

Firefox for Win32 is incredibly stable and fast, only crashing perhaps once every few weeks if not months, and usually only when using video plugins. Under Slackware Linux 9.1, Firefox has been sucking worse and worse ever since it was called Firebird 0.6, to the point now where it runs for LESS THAN ONE HOUR before slowing to a stop and sucking up 100% CPU, requiring a restart. This is not a Slackware problem - a friend of mine with an identical Slack 9.1 setup has never had any problems like this with Firefox. This is not a Linux problem - no other application on the system does anything like this. This problem is still present even after upgrading all Mozilla libraries on the system, and it is incredibly frustrating for my Linux browser to suck so badly that it makes me feel like I'm using Windows. Unfortunately, at this time all the alternative browsers for Linux do not meet my needs. None of the numerous developers I've discussed this with appear to have any idea what the problem could be, despite my providing numerous GDB backtraces. I am currently considering running Firefox for Win32 under WINE. Yes, it's that bad.

holy fucking shit
