Mozilla 1.4RC2 Released

levell writes "Mozilla 1.4RC2 has been released. It looks like the final version of 1.4 may be out soon. It looks good although there are some problems with java on old linux systems (discussed here). 1.4 will be a long lived branch that some distributors will base versions of their own software on (e.g. Netscape planned release, codenamed "buffy"). 1.4 will be the last version of Mozilla released as a suite, after that the switch to separate browser, e-mail etc. applications will take place."

Hmm...

Good thing we're not in the year 2000 anymore. Lucky for those lazy developers...

Due to being sued by the auto makers

[numbski]

Unfortunately, the auto makers have decided to sue the Mozilla team for using their trademarked names. The new names are now:

Buffy - Browser
Dawn - Mail Reader
Willow - HTML Editor
Xander - News Reader
Spike - Porn Search Plugin

Re:Java

[syle]

The other is viewing too many images in tabs - even if you close tabs after you've viewed the pics, and try not to keep more than a half-dozen open at once, eventually it will die

Another case of porn driving innovation. Come on, people, try to have some self-control! Was 5 naked people at once really not enough?

> Was 5 naked people at once really not enough?

I've run into this problem with Firebird. Moz is well suited for surfing porn link farms since you can quickly control-click (to open in new tab) down a link list. Since there is usually SO much crap thrown in with porn links, you can quickly click on one tab and hit the "X" to close the bad ones. For someone who is looking for quality porn quickly, there is no other.

Well, now they are going to have Spike Lee's lawyers after them.

I would have assigned Xander as pop-up ad generator. I mean, which is more annoying? At least Mozilla can block the pop-ups..

IE for pr0n? Are you crazy, man? Going to a pr0n site with IE is like saying "I am crazy mister person who likes pop-ups! Please to pop-up many windows!"

"Oh a pop-up! I kiss you!"

"Oh another pop-up! I kiss you again!"

"Oh, a pop-up that launches 8 pop-ups when you close it! Many times do I kiss you, oh pop-up provider!"

Yeah, but better start watching out for that year 2100 bug which is just around the corner.

[Pac]

Any professional pornographer has a mouse with a middle button so he can middle-click the link to open it in a new tab. Do you realize Control-Click requires both hands?

Doesn't work to well.....

Netscape planned release, codenamed "buffy"

Buffy the IE slayer...... Hummm doesn't quite work.

Although the 'destroying the undead whose goal it is to reign the earth and bring pain, misery and fear to all' analogy may have some distance to run

Code named Buffy?

[edwardd]

(e.g. Netscape planned release, codenamed "buffy").

As in "Ready to be canceled"?

Re:Anyone know if the DHTML menu problems are fixe

[weave]

Ha, your meyerweb.com link example works in every browser I tried it with except for IE 6. Hence all of the other ones are busted and Microsoft rules.

Next time maybe the guy should make his pages with Front Page. If it really has to work on "non-standard" browsers, about 50k of javascript browser sniffing code and branches produced by Adobe Golive might be just the ticket.

Re:Watch out for new version of Hotmail...

The irony in that statement is that IE is still spoofing Mozilla:

I am leaving in England at the moment; originally from Oz. When I return home I wanna try Mozilla.

Why wait? You can use Mozilla in England too!

No, the real problem is the coming Y10K bug. Only 7997 years to go, and developers are still only storing 4 digit dates!

Re:Java - Tiled browsing!

[nadadogg]

I think a better way to view like this would be using Tiled browsing. Have 4 pages simulatneously loaded, and scroll to the "relavant" information at each one, and blammo! "Raised productivity" from being able to view multiple "documents" at once so that you can "deliver your report" to the "executive office."
