Firefox 1.0RC1 is out

I have both firefox and opera and have to say I prefer opera, quicker to load, easy to use and rarely crashes, if it does, you just continue on from last time anyway!

I also 'somehow' managed to remove the ads

Mozilla is forty time larger.

Seriously, I don't understand all the variations either, there is also Camino for mac as well, plus Netscape looks just like mozilla
 
Mozilla is the open source project from which Firefox has sprung. Mozilla provides, mainly, the Gecko rendering engine used by Firefox to display html.

Surely, "que?"

Firefox uses lots of the same code as Mozilla, just in a smaller package. Mozilla is the all-singing all-dancing browser suite, Firefox just takes the bits it needs to make a browser. If you imagine Mozilla as being built out of separate blocks, Firefox just takes a few of those blocks. It's the chef's special without the coulis or the chips.

Says it all

Mozilla Suite
Web-browser built for 2004, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editing made simple -- all your Internet needs in one application.

Yes, and no. Amongst Portuguese kids text message corruption of spelling is just as bad as in English and in those circles "ke" is the new 'cool' way of spelling "que". But it's unlikely that Gary is familiar with Portuguese text messaging slang and likely that Spanish and not Portuguese was not the language he was thinking of so in that case "que" is correct :)

Actually, I think Portuguese texting is the latest craze in Watford, so I was probably being unfair to iGary.

Mozilla doesn't have the open in tabs function,so its rubbish

imho:)
 
Latest:
There has been a slight update to Firefox released since the last "latest" update, and this one seems to have knocked the serious problems I was having (shutdown bug, non-working js, pw problems) nicely on the head.
Back to surfing. I'm glad I didn't have to stick with IE for long. It's better now, but it still isn't much fun.
Now if only I could get the Moji theme up and running with the latest releases of Firefox. That was a brilliant theme for helping with Japanese Kanji readings on webpages. A killer app for students of Japanese, and I really miss it.
 
I see thunderbird is up to 0.9.

Anyone have any idea if they have fixed the "folder is being processed , please wait" problem? there is no mention of it in the release notes.

GTM, I've never experienced the "folder is being processed" problem, using Thunderbird since 0.7 (now 0.9). When does it occur?

It happens at startup because I have several accounts all downloading to the "Global" inbox. Apparently from what I can tell from various forums it's related to having filters set on more than one of the accounts and/or the client attempting to download all of the separate accounts at the same time. Either way it's a pain. The present "solution" is to either

a) Turn off all filters except on one account

or

b) Not use the "Global" inbox function.

I'm not prepared to do either to be frank. To do so would make TB too unuser friendly for me to consider bothering with. As I stated before I actually like Outlook Express. My only complaint with it is it's lack of spam filtering. I know that such filtering is never perfect but TB seems to work quite well in this regard.

So currently I'm perservering with TB just for its junk mail handling advantage. But I must say that my patience is wearing thin with it, and I'm probably going to swap back soon. I don't really have that much spam anyway.

That would explain why I never have the problem as I neither have more than one account nor use any filters. My e-mail provider (www.fastmail.fm) does all that (account consolidation and excellent spam filtering) for me. TBH, I don't use Thunderbird that much as the FastMail.fm web interface is so good I really don't need to.
