----------------------------------- Martin Tue Nov 29, 2005 7:27 pm Firefox 1.5 is out ----------------------------------- Get it here http://www.getfirefox.com/ ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Nov 29, 2005 7:35 pm ----------------------------------- Oh, Firefox 1.5 has hit mirrors. http://www.mozilla.org/mirrors.html I wonder how many Opera users it will reclaim? ----------------------------------- wtd Tue Nov 29, 2005 8:04 pm ----------------------------------- I didn't know hobbits used web browsers. :P ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Nov 29, 2005 8:27 pm ----------------------------------- Wow, hehe i like the new feel of the website. Anyhow, as for the browser... Its good :D I like the new improvements.. excecpt for the fact that when you download many things at a time, firefox browsing speed drops alot... I mean sometimes you can't even access pages XD (at least for me :(, and I'm on ADSL...3 or 4 mbps i think) ----------------------------------- Martin Tue Nov 29, 2005 8:39 pm ----------------------------------- I'm connected at 50mbps at home, I wouldn't notice ;) ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Nov 29, 2005 9:38 pm ----------------------------------- I didn't know hobbits used web browsers. :P Please. We hobbits invented the web browser. ----------------------------------- md Tue Nov 29, 2005 10:28 pm ----------------------------------- I'm connected at 50mbps at home, I wouldn't notice ;)Stop rubbing it in! Just wait until you get back to waterloo with crappy speeds... then who'll be laughing! ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Wed Nov 30, 2005 12:16 am ----------------------------------- It does seem a bit faster :)... Changed the GUI they use minorly (at least for Windows), and the image that shows when you are loading an image. Have the [code][/code] tags been changed? Or has the font used there also been changed in Firefox? Great new changes, lots of conveniences added ----------------------------------- Boo-chan Sun Dec 04, 2005 5:35 am ----------------------------------- The biggest change I've noticed is that the 404 error page has changed and that the options menu has a different layout. And is it just me or have they removed dictionary.com from the searchengine list? ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Dec 04, 2005 9:03 am ----------------------------------- Changed it to about.com ... I imagine this was google's call. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun Dec 04, 2005 1:31 pm ----------------------------------- Damn, that sucks - I spent an hour yesterday looking for a fix, but nothing. I hate these other dictionaries, so slow, and hard to use :x. ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sun Dec 04, 2005 4:10 pm ----------------------------------- No big deal, it's just one click away from here: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/dictionary.com.html The top one, press the link, and Firefox will automatically install the search plugin for you. I missed the fox :) ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Dec 04, 2005 4:33 pm ----------------------------------- "]I hate these other dictionaries I really like [url=http://www.answers.com/]answers.com (which I think 1.5 now includes). Definitions, Thesaurus, and even articles from Wikipedia and other sources. Pretty nifty, all-in-one definition tool. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun Dec 04, 2005 4:36 pm ----------------------------------- Thanks Hikaru! Answers.com seems good too, haven't tryed it before... Guess I'll have it in reserve. ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Dec 05, 2005 2:56 pm ----------------------------------- or just type in define: blah into the google bar and it'll define it for u ----------------------------------- codemage Tue Dec 06, 2005 9:31 am ----------------------------------- Answers.com rocks. Best encyclopedia I've used yet. Grabs stuff from all sorts of sources. Wikipedia is great too, but it tends to be slower, and goes down for maintenance cycles too often.
