Has anyone written an extension that would hit Mozilla's ftp servers, find the latest nightly build, and download and install it for you yet? That might be a good idea for those that feel like doing something as silly as that.
I agree. I've been using nightly builds for a while now (for the XForms support) and I've noticed the same memory downward spiral that the point releases have. Open up ~25 tabs, close 20 of them, and see how much memory 'firefox.exe' is using.
"additional support for CSS2" means that they will fix the '* html' problem, and leave all of the problems that designers have been using that trick to hack around.
You can't change IE's box model. That would break too many "coded for IE" pages. Microsoft want's backwards compatability. If that means never updating their rendering engine, then so be it.
In that case, it's like recording the number dialed plus all the buttons pushed while going through automated prompts. If you were to dial that number, and then push the same buttons, you'd get an idea of what that person called for.

I know Microsoft would really like everybody in the world to upgrade Windows XP-SP2, but some people can't, won't, or are afraid to upgrade. Those people will still have to deal with the numerous security vulnerabilites of IE-preSP2.
It's really nice that Microsoft has begun to clean up their security image a little, but saying that all theses problems were fixed in SP2 is little consulation to the people running Win98 that couldn't get their computer to run XpSp2 even if they wanted to, that are attacked daily by spyware and pop-ups.
These people need Firefox. (or any other browser.)
If you use the "Web Developer Toolbar" and you choose "disable styles" and "replace images with alt attributes" and it looks just like it would in Lynx (and it looks good)... then you're using good web design
I would love to see something like this incorporated into a plugin of sorts. It would be really nice (and usefull) to have a little icon on my status bar (between my PageRank indicator and Homeland Security button) that validates whatever page I am currently viewing and displays a "compliant" picture if it doesn't find any errors, or the number of errors found if it does.
This would have to be done locally somehow. Otherwise, we'd quickly crash w3c's servers by validating each and every page viewed. (plus we want it to work when viewing Slashdot)
I think this would also help more authors write standards-compliant code. I know I would be really mad if every time I pulled up my website I had to see "431" down in the corner. I would probably stay up all night untill it started saying "XHTML 1.0 Strict"
If you're using Firefox, check out Bookmarks Syncronizer. It works great for me. You can set it to download an xml file from a ftp server, merge all new entries with your existing bookmarks, and then upload a new copy on exit.

You know what... If I liked how dark it made it, and I could make toast for free over the web, I would probably use Google Toast Beta.

I'm sure that'll work great when he ports Linux over to .Net
I might be wrong about this, but I thought the default setting for Firefox was to give you Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" for that term.
Galaxy formation is largly determined by large globs of what scientists refer to as "Dark Butter" deep out in space.
Where can I find the source for Cherry Coke? I want to make my own soft drink and deny that it comes from Coke.
I wonder how much all the Texas Hold'em and Online Poker sites will pay when the eventually buy me out. I tons of hits.

IE and Outlook are the same thing, Microsoft Windows. (or so Microsoft's Anti-trust team would like us to believe)
