Mozilla 1.4a is great!

[Glitchny]

IF mozillia is slow for u then try getting the most recent nightly build of pheonix that im using, its very fast very cusomizable and in the enar future all mozillia products are being shifted to run more like phoenix and start using a differetn coding structure. Phoenix is great beacuse it is modifiable. if u want a feature u can add a module yourself or try to see if someone has created a modulke to give you that funcationality, dont have to wait for the next release to get features

I'm trying 1.4a right now. Some things I don't like;

-I can't move favorites and home buttons off my personal bar.
-I like being able to push the wheel (or middle button) on the mouse and pull the mouse back to scroll a page instead of turning the wheel.
-I don't like the way the tabs are handled. Being required to press something to open it as a tab is too much.
-Tabs should be easier to close (In opera, you simply hold [shift] when clicking on the tab to close it. This makes closing multiple tabs very fast and easy.
-When and if it crashes, will it resume where you left off?

I've tried Phoenix... a year ago when I had it working, it crashed way too often, and I lost where I was. Opera enabled resuming and crashed a lot less (switched to Opera). Now I try Phoenix and it crashes before even opening!

-Opera is far from perfect... but I think it kicks Mozilla's flange where it counts!

Middle-clicking is too much?

The only thing you mention that I'd like is the session saving for crashes, but I have those with Galeon on Linux which is my primary platform so I'm not overly concerned.

Coool, I didn't know you could middle-click a tab to close it

I installed Mozilla 1.3 the other day and my personal bar works fine. I think they broke it in 1.4a. Also, if you want much more control over your tabs, try Multizilla. Each tab has it's own X button to close it. I have a thread about Mozilla plug-ins here.

just so you know, mozilla 1.4B ("BETA") has been out for about a week. It's available via the nightly-builds links. BTW, the Mozilla team is pretty close to 1.4 Final from what I've heard. I'm still using 1.3 and MSIE. I was using Opera, but Opera has some buggy Javascript and handles plugins poorly (yes, even the 7.10 version isn't so stable for me.)

When I middle-click on a tab, it loads the last page I had loaded with a middle click into that tab ?!?

I tried 1.4b for a little while a few days ago but they broke the ability to save images. I had problems downloading and saving files using the beta so I went back to 1.4a. I'm using 1.3 now, waiting for 1.4 final.

Have you guys tried the browser formerly known as Phoenix?(Now known as Firebird)

-Thanks.. didn't know about middle clicking. I figured solutions would be posted for some of the stuff I mentioned. I'll have to see how stable Mozilla is now.

On windows, unless you are REALLY REALLY strapped for RAM, Moz loads faster than phoenix since phoenix doesn't have quicklaunch.
