----------------------------------- wtd Fri Sep 09, 2005 1:43 am Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 ----------------------------------- It's now available at mozilla.org. Nifty stuff. ----------------------------------- timmytheturtle Fri Sep 09, 2005 4:07 pm ----------------------------------- thats kool, I would try it out, but I use Opera now. but I could install it for the others on this computer, since I havent updated firefox in a while. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Sep 09, 2005 4:11 pm ----------------------------------- Hmm, pretty good, but I don't trust 'beta 1' - at least not when it comes to something I use every day. Might try it though. ----------------------------------- Amailer Fri Sep 09, 2005 4:14 pm ----------------------------------- I think they made the loading of web pages sorta like opera (not sure though) but it "SEEMS" (can't really tell) that it loads pretty fast now- so cool. Almost non of my extensions work yet so yeah... Its pretty cool the changes... they changed the Options menu added a new option to "Clear Private Data" (used sometimes, but not all the time). They I'm proved the extensions/theme parts- when you click update it checks for updates (in the same window) for all of the extensions and you just click "Update Now" (or something like that) and it updates it :P They also added a "report broken site" button... (or did I add that option? o.O) ehhe cool...Can't wait till the full release is out. edit Oh lol release notes........... http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/1.5beta1.html Security problem still exists http://www.security-protocols.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2910 ----------------------------------- Naveg Fri Sep 09, 2005 7:50 pm ----------------------------------- I think they made the loading of web pages sorta like opera (not sure though) but it "SEEMS" (can't really tell) that it loads pretty fast now- so cool. It does load a lot faster. One of the key improvements of Firefox 1.5 is that Gecko 1.8 has made major speed improvements. Its not quite as fast as khtml (used in Safari and Konqueror) yet, but its getting there. Similarly, khtml is catching up to Gecko compatibility-wise. ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Sep 09, 2005 11:09 pm ----------------------------------- Similarly, khtml is catching up to Gecko compatibility-wise. ehm... what do you mean...ktml passes the acid2 test.. gecko dosen't... ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Fri Sep 09, 2005 11:23 pm ----------------------------------- how do u config things so that instead of new broswer windows, all the new windows are opened in tabs?? ----------------------------------- wtd Fri Sep 09, 2005 11:27 pm ----------------------------------- Similarly, khtml is catching up to Gecko compatibility-wise. ehm... what do you mean...ktml passes the acid2 test.. gecko dosen't... Well, ACID2 isn't necessarily a test of compatibility. It's a test of how well a browser handles corner cases. That said, KHTML does rock for CSS compliance. ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Sep 09, 2005 11:43 pm ----------------------------------- how do u config things so that instead of new broswer windows, all the new windows are opened in tabs?? if u can't find the option in the preferences... then type in about:config in the url bar.. and search it up..
