Picc84 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 What do you think about the new beta? I have downloaded it, and I love it, although they did get rid of all my shortcuts, so thank god I was able to Upload them from recently testing Oprah. I'm not completely positive its Firefox, but I do know there is a neat little spell checker in this. And its relay handy... Comments?

Rick Brewster Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I couldn't tell much difference from 1.5. What's new and improved for just regular tabbed browsing? And when's the (official) 64-bit version coming?

trickman Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I couldn't tell much difference from 1.5. What's new and improved for just regular tabbed browsing? A close button for each tab, and when the links request a not-size-specific window it opens has a tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Theres a close button for each tab in 1.5..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 RaveN, not by default. Your probably using a extension of some sort. I use TabMixPlus for 1.5, and it allows for a close button directly on each tab header Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2killx Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I use version 2.0 and feel that it is more easy to use than the non beta version. Quote I built my first computer at age 11! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hanson Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Any of you Firefox fans following the IceWeasel issue? I'm just curious what others think of it. For those that don't know: The Mozilla Corp. decided that the Debian Linux distribution can no longer distribute Firefox under that name without including their non-free logo and artwork and submitting all patches to Mozilla for approval before release. Debian has a social contract that prohibits them from distributing non-free items that forms the whole basis for their distribution. They previously had an arrangement with the Mozilla Foundation that allowed them to use the name without the non-free artwork but the new Mozilla Corporation has decided that they will no longer allow this. If you call it Firefox, you MUST use the non-free artwork. As a result Debian has been forced to rename their Firefox. The name they chose is IceWeasel (Ice is not fire and a weasel is not a fox, thus there can be no trademark confusion). This issue is magnified by the fact that Debian forms the basis for many other linux distributions, including the currently most popular desktop linux distro Ubuntu. This means that it's entirely possible that the Firefox brand could all but disappear on Linux (just as XFree86 has been replaced by X.org). It remains to be seen if this will have any impact on the PC side. To make things even more confusing Gnu has FORKED Firefox and also calls their fork IceWeasel (they also forked the Mozilla Suite and call it GnuZilla.) While Debian will not use this fork in their upcoming relese (Debian's Iceweasel is just a rebranded Firefox) they have stated they will look into working with Gnu in the future. This issue also applies to all other Mozilla projects. For example Debian has already renamed Thunderbird to IceDove and they have IceApe coming also. Personally my primary system is a XP box and I consider myself a windows man. However I do run Debian on my old hardware and I am enjoying the flame war going on right now in the blogs between Mozilla and their fans and Debian and theirs.
