Firefox 1.5 beta is out

[CTho9305]

You can get it at mozilla.org. For those of you more interested in the suite, we're getting ready to do a release, and need testing - builds are available in the *-mozilla1.8 directories here.

What platforms are available for the suite? Linux and Windows appear to be it.

1,2,3 NOT IT!

Memory Leak fixed?

Firefox has been crashing big time on me lately. I have three computers, it does it on all of them. I wonder if they had an extension in commmon?

Got a compiler? Get on irc.mozilla.org #seamonkey and we'll help you compile for other platforms.

Downloading now...

Tasty!

No time today. Maybe Monday.

FF 1.5 is working great on my Mac though.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Problems:

• Find as you type wouldn't let me type in this box here.
• The backspace key isn't letting me go "back."

Great version! Forward and back page's are cached better now, very speedy on forums.

EDIT: You can drag tabs!

Wow the browser is a heck of a lot faster. Doesn't seem to be any noticable bugs on windows.

Very nice impression however its slow at browsing. I had to to do the about:config network.etc.. tweaks and it was working just like before. Unfortunately the Qute skin isn't compatible and the keyconfig extension isn't either. I'm just used to hitting Ctrl+N for a new tab. Oh well. Still performing quite nicely.

ctrl t doesn't require an extention.

But I would like to use Ctrl+N to open a new tab instead of open a new window.

There is a keyconfig extension for firefox. I'm happy with the normal shortcuts so I haven't used it. Also I'm not sure if it'll work properly in the new 1.5 beta.

He said it didn't work in his post.

I'm obviously a product of the broken public school system.

 

[imported_FishTaco]

Keyconfig does work. I just loaded it up after tweaking the max version number in the install.rdf and it works just fine. I even switched ctrl-t and ctrl-n. Oh, I used keyconfig enhanced, but I'm sure the plain version will work too.

 

[SleepWalkerX]

oh cool it does work. it just didn't carry over like the others. a reinstallation worked fine. thanks, now my firefox browsing experience is complete (skins aren't too important).

Does the backspace key make Fx go to the previous page for anyone on Windows?

Fx? If by Fx you mean firefox, then yes it does.

Yes, I mean Firefox.

From the FAQ

How do I spell Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?
Firefox is spelled F-i-r-e-f-o-x - only the first letter capitalized (i.e. not FireFox, not Foxfire, FoxFire or whatever else a number of folk seem to think it to be called.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".

 

[imported_FishTaco]

You know after all this time of using firefox, I've never once read the FAQ. Hmm, I think I'll keep typing out firefox, Fx just doesn't seem like an intuitive abreviation.

In SeaMonkey 1.0 alpha, you can set backspace to do any of: nothing, pageup, go back (feature added by yours truly ). The builds here are basically 1.0 alpha release candidates - give them a whirl, let us know if there are problems.
