Firefox 1.1 Scrapped

Is a tech evangelism bug. In other words upgrading your Firefox version won't make it work. Yahoo needs to code a page that works in Firefox contact them at webmaster@yahoo-inc.com or info@yahoo-inc.com. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/
To keep the Gecko core in sync with the version numbers for both Firefox and Thunderbird. Firefox and Thunderbird 1.0.6 corresponds to Gecko 1.7.10.
In your system Thunderbird 1.0.3 would correspond to Gecko 1.7.10 and Firefox 1.0.3 corresponds to Gecko 1.7.7 which would be released months apart from each other.
If that still does not satisfy you then just accept that it is a decision that you have no control over.
There was torrents avaible at the 1.0 release. On that day of the 1,000,000 plus downloads only several thousand were via torrents. BTW bittorrent.mozilla.org is still up though serving up old releases 1.0.1.
Thunderbird jumped from 1.0.2 to 1.0.6 because it received the same patches as 1.0.6 Firefox. The 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 releases did not happen because they were patches for JavaScript exploits. Thunderbird ships with JavaScript turned off. Mozilla decided to wait until a security release of Thunderbird was needed that would have affected the majority of users rather then make users go through a likely pointless upgrade.
"The Core is a marvel. It has everything: common physics misconceptions, blatant misrepresentations of physical laws, a complete range of stereotypes, ridiculous feats of engineering, and pure fabrication of scientific "facts". The weighty or sad parts are so inane, they made us laugh out loud. The dialog, plot, and action are predictable, if not outright tedious. Yet, the bad physics provide nonstop surprises. It's the worst physics movie we've ever viewed. It's so bad, it's almost entertaining..."
When someone writes some writes some code to implememt an API that Robert O'Callahan wrote for the upcoming release. The API renders web pages to images.
Right now Mozilla/Firefox use a rather crusty history file format, Mork. There are plans to replace this history file with sqlite (Bug 245745, not until Gecko 1.9) which would make an extension writer's job a bit easier.

I am sure that if someone had access to a google company directory one could find a score or three of names that are open source related.
Ben was likely annoyed about Netscape.com's alert about Firefox 1.0.4 being out of date. The alert told users to install 8.0 which was based on Firefox 1.0.3 which had securtiy issues.
Netcape.com has resolved the issue of telling Firefox users to update their browser.
Yes there is it is bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28586 which is actually a meta bug tracking the bugs needed to be fixed to change the default for browser.xul.error_pages.enabled to true. I would realy like to see this make it into Firfox 1.1.
"Another thing that aggravates me is when I'll open a bunch of links in separate tabs to read in a few moments, then 2 minutes later a window pops up saying the server couldn't be reached. But when I go over to the tab, the url bar is blank, so I have no idea which links I clicked on that couldn't be reached."
Pike's Show Failed URL will take care of that. http://www.pikey.me.uk/mozilla/?extension=sfu 1. install the extension 2. Type about:config in the addess bar 3. in the filter type xul 4. double click on browser.xul.error_pages.enabled to change to true 5. restart Firefox

Try pressing F7 in Firefox/Mozilla. Mozilla calls it caret browsing. It has been around for a a few years.
