Firefox News

Well, anyone who follows Slashdot already knows that Firefox RC1 was released today, although it still contains the Slashdot rendering bug. However, it is apparently not an actual release candidate as the version number suggests, but merely an interim version. While skimming the comments on Slashdot, I found a link to processor-specific optimized Firefox and Thunderbird builds. The trunk versions fix the Slashdot bug, but have the old Find (Control-F) design. It’s unfortunate I have to choose between my preferred Find method and proper rendering of Slashdot, but I guess you get what you pay for. Right now I’m running the MOOX M3 optimized build of RC1. Not too shabby.

New Releases from the Mozilla Foundation

Firefox 0.9, Thunderbird 0.7, and Mozilla 1.7 have been released. Some changes I’ve noticed in Firefox: new theme and plugin system (old themes need to be ported), an “update” feature that acts like Windows Update for Firefox, and the new theme. I don’t really care for the new theme so much, but the old theme (called Qute) is available here for 0.9.

If only Thunderbird would support “posting” to a mailbox like Outlook/Evolution do. Overall, it’s an awesome product and it’s what I use as my e-mail client.
