Download firefox 1.5 rc3

->>>> Click Here to Download <<<<<<<-

It's become a geeky tradition to celebrate the release of a blockbuster movie, or software by downloading advance copies from the web. Strangely this time, a P2P program isn't required to get this advance content, although it is still an option once a torrent is set up.

You really think it's going to be a select few? How many will be telling their office colleagues across their cubicles that the download it available? How long will it take before there are a whole lot of people wanting to know how to get it?

Yeah, sure it might slashdot their servers. I'll let them deal with that. They handled the 1. It's also a question of your download getting counted. This was just posted on. I suppose this official website [mozilla. Using it now.. It seems very nice so far. I'd been using RC3 for a few days now. All extensions carried over for me, although I had to reset my Tabbed Browser Preferences. One of the nicest new features is the "Unable to Load" page that comes up instead of the alert that interupted your browsing, even while in another tab, on the older versions.

Some of the rumorous new tab features haven't made it in so far, which is a shame. They're supposed to make tabs work more like Opera: Close tab returns to previous tab, and close box on each tab, as well as cleaning up the text in tabs.

Oh well, overall very nice though. Looking at my extensions folder: Switchproxy Tool: Disabled, not compatible with Firefox 1. Re:Using it now.. I hate that about opera. Good god, I really hope there's going to be something in there that allows you to turn that off. Btw, does anyone know how to turn that off in Opera? It's just so much nicer for browsing My laptop has no middle button, so that's no use for me. Pretty sweet Score: 5 , Interesting.

Still doesn't pass the Acid 2 Test [webstandards. Does anyone know why Safari passes, but no other browsers? Perhaps the Acid just love Apple? Re:Pretty sweet Score: 5 , Informative.

See previous discusions about firefox and Acid2. Mainly it involves making serious changes to the Gecko layout engine. The changes were to risky for the 1. From the roadmaps it does not look like Firefox 2. Re:Pretty sweet Score: 4 , Informative. Konquerer does with KDE 3. Re:Pretty sweet Score: 2. Perhaps Apple people just love their Acid [wikipedia.

It would certainly explain a lot of their UI elements. Re:Pretty sweet Score: 4 , Funny. Because no web developer ever writes invalid CSS My Gentoo box is already busy compiling KDE 3. Now you're telling me to start compiling Firefox 1. My CPU's so busy it be cryin'. I guess we need posts like these Score: 5 , Funny. To kill the time between Google posts. Canvas tag support is a great feature Score: 2 , Informative.

Do you remember the 3D FPS game demo [slashdot. If you already have Firefox 1. It's the exact same file, the md5 sums are even the same: d0cbbd5d8c47fe36ee8f26fbc - Firefox Setup 1. That's because "Release Candidates" are just that: Release Candidates. RC3 was a candidate to be the Final 1. Changes are expected within beta versions, but not within Release Candidates. RC3 convinced Drag and drop reordering bug Score: 5 , Interesting.

Observed with Firefox 1. Re:Drag and drop reordering bug Score: 4 , Informative. It is only fixed on trunk builds which I strongly discourage people from using as the code is still pre alpha.

Wait for your distro to have a binary to download or build from source and apply the patch. The first prophet was called Netscape and he was mighty, leading the people serenely through the internet.

But the people forsook the prophet and the prophet turned to evil ways. The second prophet was a false prophet called Internet Explorer, which hid its true nature from the people until it was nearly too late since it was sent out by the great deceiver, Microsoft. The great deceiver tried to limit their access to the internet and to turn them aside from anything that the deceiver did not make money off of.

The people groaned and labored to feed the great deceiver, but alas, nothing could fill his belly. The great deciever blessed the heresey of having the browser integrated into the operating system. Loudly did the people cry unto the computer gods for a new prophet to lead them, but the gods were angry since the had given the people Linux.

The people ignored Linux and chose to follow the great deceiver. Finally, the computer gods softened their hearts and heard the cries of the people and sent a third prophet.

The people are fortunate that they have not been abandoned for straying from the path of Linux. Mighty indeed is the penguin. A new prophet has been sent to lead us out of the valley of the shadow of ActiveX. The heavens opened, the angels sang, and Firefox descended into our midst to releive us from the woe that is Internet Explorer. Wither AMD64 Version?

Come on guys, give us 64 bits! Do we dare risk a build from source? Re:where to get Firefox Score: 5 , Informative. No it's not! Score: 2 , Interesting. Highlights are: Automated update, drag and drop reordering for browser tabs, improvements to popup blocking, better accessibility and better support for Mac OS X Dark alley corners are: Nightmarish cookie management. You can now search which is nice , but you can't select more than one cookie at a time the usual key modifiers do nothing.

Hitting delete does nothing. I filed a bug about the selection thing and the answer was "oh well, next release, not going to make it for 1. Select text in the URL-bar on the Macintosh. Hit the left arrow key, which should put you at the start of the block of text. But doen't- unlike the behavior in the text entry boxes on a webpage. Why can't it remember these preferences!? Keyboard shortcuts randomly stop working. Command-W being the most obvious, as you go to close a tab or window Plugin "security" is completely non-sensical.

If I'm visiting a website of a plugin author, you're forced to navigate to the prefs panel and then go back and click the link again. Instead we get "I blocked this. Just thought you'd like to know. Go here if you want to enable it. Re:new problems introduced Score: 2. Re:Update now popup is too forceful Score: 3 , Interesting.

I think this may be from the 1. Should prevent acidental action in the future, though the anoyence factor is still there. Why do we care? Not to be a troll or anything, but why does slashdot deam every minor release of Firefox to be worthy of a story? Its no different from any other OSS. And also, anyone who uses Firefox would notice and know what the little green upward-pointing arrow on the upper-right-hand corner means.

Score: 5 , Interesting. I love firefox Not a whole heck of a lot. Tell me when Firefox 1. Enough of the RC updates.

Your browser is an important tool, probably one of the most used pieces of software on your system. Keeping it up to date is important to a lot of people.

Furthermore, Firefox is one of the most widely-used and visible open-source projects. If we were talking about something like xmms, a new release would be a far less significant event. Score: 3 , Insightful. I upgraded to the first rc of version 1. I will wait at least a month after the final version is released so that everyone will have time to update their extensions.

You can always add in the Nightly Tester tools that 'fixes' the version numbering problem. I'm finding that a lot of devs are updating their extensions to work with 1. Score: 2 , Interesting.

I agree with you completely, but the firefox evangelists will cry if they don't get their weekly press. Sadly Firefox has become the darling child of the OSS movement because of it's successes. Those successes are largely due to the evangelists themselves, but also in no minor part to it being a vastly useful product. This separates itself from much of the OSS on the market today.

Thats not to say that most OSS isn't useful, but not globally so. Of course it's also truly sad that a web browser is the sym. Actually, the best thing I like about Firefox is the fact most websites will now display the pages correctly with this web browser, unlike pre-Mozilla 1. I'm all for the improvements that Firefox 1. I'm sure once MS starts cracking out Windows updates we'll see more "Critical Update" articles and that trend is vulnerable to the exact same criticism: why does slashdot deam every minor update of windows to be worthy of a story?

Its no different from any other commercial software. When all else fails, most nerds like the default setting to include as much information as possible.

Score: 3 , Informative. Actually, I never noticed a green arrow. Score: 5 , Funny. You just answered your own question. Slashdot deems every minor release of every OSS thing to be incredible breaking news. Many cool new features in this version, such as the blarglefier tool no longer causing a crash when run under Ubuntu 4. Licensed under the GPL! Is this the end for Microsoft? Half the time, they never even give you a hint as to what ThingYouNeverHeardOf is supposed to be used for.

Is it an email client? Is it an IDE? Is it a MIDI playback library? Does it cook my eggs? Who knows. I feel that you may have just discovered a concept called 'advertising'. Possibly no one has thought to patent this concept. However, your friendly PTO will be happy to slide you some justice. So ya got that goin' for ya! Just try not to notice that the words 'news' and 'matters' in the phrase 'News for nerds.

Stuff that matters' may not mean what you think those words mean, 'K? Or at least rarely. I'm not sure about the translation of "devo"; I haven't been able to find anything for the stem "dev-".

Thanks for the Latin help. Only had it 15 years ago in High School. Spork writes:. I would venture to guess that for most nerds, it's their most-used app or close. It's quite right to closely follow its progress here in some detail, and I for one certainly appreciate it.

Hey, I got news for you. Slashdot has always been like that. We're nerds, geeks and losers. We like these things. We like updating kernels, playing with the latest bleeding edge cool software, especially when it's something as big as FF, etc.

So fuck off. You are being a troll. So, sod off :D. And not a moment too soon! Last night, just after killing FF's process due to another hang, I restarted the app and was immediately greeted with the updater's announcement of a new version. I love FireFox as much as the next guy but we need to stop bragging about " million downloads!!! You don't count twice in that million my friend. This is wrong for several reasons: 1. Why would you want that? Unless you can name a program that's been downloaded million times and isn't widespread.

If you're misinterpreting the number to mean something it doesn't, that's your problem. Unknown upgrade Score: 5 , Interesting. My firefox prompted me a few hours ago about an "important upgrade", which I did.

But it didn't say what this upgrade was about, and therefore I don't know if I'm running RC3 or not. It would be nice to know what has been downloaded. Re:Unknown upgrade Score: 2 , Informative.

The "About Mozilla Firefox" box only says 1. Lucky you Score: 2. Lucky you. When the first version of 1. About a week a later I found out one of them had managed to 'upgrade' back to version 1. Re:Unknown upgrade Score: 2 , Insightful. Much faster, Plugins are updated, Source Score: 5 , Informative.

Compared to the 1. Even this textarea text is now smoothed a bit to much for my taste but I enoy the speed. And the truncating title text bug that arbitrarily drops information from websites still hasn't been fixed.

It's now five years old! Re:old bug still not fixed Score: 2. Over the years, the company has set the bar high for other web browsers. Another alternative worth commenting is Avast Secure Browser.
