Firefox Preview Release 1.0
Printable View
Thank You
If you had visited Husted.cc this morning, you would have already known. :santa:
What the heck is Darkcyte anyways?
Ever heard of FAQs?
:kiss:
This version of Firefox is almost useable. While it still renders pages incorrectly (ESPN.Com, for example), has too rigid tab behavior (no dynamic sizing), and it borks on Moveable Type, they've managed to fix the Bookmark fiasco and made some inroads to RSS.
My question is this - how do you turn off the security warnings when you go from a secure page to a non secure page?
Actually it renders pages absolutely correctly according to standards. The pages you are trying to view is coded incorrectly.Quote:

I'm not sure about your question regarding the warning Squid.
I could care less if my browser is adhering to standards if it totally screws up a page that IE handles flawlessly. This is the real world, not a lab. I gain no comfort from my standards adherance while looking at this:

Here's the warning you get when you go from a secure page to
an unsecure one. You should be able to turn the nagging off.

It's getting closer. I hope they keep working on it.
Thunderbird, on the other hand, is already pretty terrific.
Contact ESPN and tell them to hire someoen who knows what they are doing. I contacted our vendor for online banking and bitched about their managment console not working properly in Firefox. The next version released workes perfectly in it. ;)
I'll try and test going from secure to non-secure to see if I get that message or not. If I do.. I'm so use to just hitting OK that I don't recall it. ;)
I haven't tried Thunderbird yet.. only due to converting my massive database from Outlook - Palm Desktop, etc and testing.
Outlook is every bit the giant sucking security whore that Explorer is...make haste!
Maybe I'll give it a shot this weekend.
The RSS functionality (Live links) in Firefox is a pretty major accomplishment. Thunderbird has it as well.
Squid.. switched over to Thunderbird this morning here at work. Imported everything from Outlook without a problem. I like it alot! I'm trying to decide if I want all my RSS feeds coming into it or continue to use SharpReader.Quote:

It's a nice app.
Opera includes pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, integrated searches, password manager, zooming, easy customization, detailed privacy and security options, integrated mail, news, chat and newsfeeds functionality, and much much more..
It will work on a palm pilot or a dual opteron server. Its one heck of a browser if you like functionality. Highly configurable, very fast and quite secure. Might be worth a look if your finally learning that IE is crap. Opera has been around for years and in my experience has only become better and better.
I won't use Opera because of the adware crap in their free version. Have they changed their business model, or do they still force banners on you?
P.S. - Good to see you made it through the hurricane okay, Cruiser! The panhandle looks pretty screwed up, and I saw Panama City had some bad tornadoes.
Tropical weather nightmare indeed. Escaped tornado's by taking off east after seeing about 8 of em on radar coming more northerly towards us. It was time to bail.
Business model? Try it and if u like it simply purchase the software and banner go bye bye. OMG buy software>>? heheh
May as well get Google Toolbar and stick with IE... :tongue:Quote:

There's too many free browsers out there for me to PAY for one. Firefox works for me for now. Opera bugged the heck out of me with the ads.
Did your place make it through the storm all right?
