GolfProRM Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Thanks Keegan! And welcome! Great first post! Quote
Prelude76 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Here's a link to Firebird's new homepage. Nice redesign!http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/Everyone, get all 3 releases! Mozilla 1.5, Firebird 0.7 and Thunderbird 0.3. They are all extremely shlick and stable. :thumbsup:and here is a nice comparison chart for Firebird, Mozilla 1.5, old netscape, Opera and IE6.http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/compare/note: they're being a bit too generous to IE6. Cookie Manager? Since when the heck does IE manage cookies? its got one feature to block all 3rd party cookies. It has nothing close to site-per-site cookie manager like any of the other browsers have. Quote
havnblast Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 YAY! This is a great day to see a new MozillaFirebird ---- my favorite browser, still not hip on thunderbird, but I am using it in linux. I haven't had any problems with it so far, so I am getting use to it.Bet those Mozilla servers are really gonna kickout the bandwidth in the next few days Quote
Neil P Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 I opened Firebird this morning and boy was I surprised! The homepage is completely redone and I like it. Firebird is awesome, but I'm not a huge fan of the Mozilla Suite too much...Firebird is just right Glad to see another stable release we can point new users to! Quote
nilson Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 I don't like the new homepage. http://www.mozilla.org/website-beta/ looks awesome and professional, but not this new page. Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Downloading Mozilla Firebird as we speak :)Then on to Thunderbird! Just introduced a client to Thunderbird ... he loves it!I too like that last Mozilla website-beta site ... very cool ... hey, did you see the link for ordering Mozilla CD $3.95US for S&H only. Great for dialup users! Quote
nlinecomputers Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 (edited) Anyone else having problems downloading Windows versions. Serious server overload. :'(EDIT: Links are cloged but the ftp.mozilla.org works. Posting this edit from Mozilla 1.5 Edited October 15, 2003 by nlinecomputers Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Got the download of Mozilla Firebird and Thunderbird no problem.Tried to get some themes for Firebird, and there must be too many thinking along the same lines LOL! Connection refused. Will have to try again when things calm down! Quote

It just looks WRONG... Quote
nilson Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Slashdot kicked the crap out of MozillaZine and Mozilla.org with an atricle that links to mozillazine and mozilla.org. Quote

FuzzButt Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Wow this is significantly faster than 0.6.1 on my 2.8 P4Chris Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 I have been contemplating that ross549 LOL! Quote
GolfProRM Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 If you would like processor-specific builds (slightly optimized), check out this link... He's using the official 0.7 source code, and just uses different optimizations for different processors... I've found that the Atlhlon builds run a fair amount quicker on my system. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=29396He's got self-extracting exe files (using 7zip) or zip files Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Wow this is significantly faster than 0.6.1 on my 2.8 P4ChrisFirebird .7 is amazingly fast! I am using it on the forums to test it out. Boy, oh, boy! What an inprovement.Now to see if they fixed the quote, bold, font, etc. problems yet LOL! EDIT:Nope ... sigh ... hopefully soon.But it is truly faster than .6.1! Quote
Prelude76 Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 ugh!!! kinda stupid of Mozilla to release all three at once and KILL THEIR FTP SERVERS IN THE PROCESS!! I'm trying to install the latest releases here at home, 10pm, and their FTP servers are time-out bombs!!!thank GOD for eMule as those releases are there and i'm starting to download them. take THAT all you "P2P is Evil Incarnate" peeps. a real legitimate use of the technology. :thumbsup:edit: for any emulers interested, here's the ed2k links: Firebird 0.7 - ed2k://|file|MozillaFirebird-0.7-win32.zip|6335021|E940CF8B6CD80106EBD869E3A6F79336|/Thunderbird 0.3 - ed2k://|file|thunderbird-0.3-win32.zip|7694406|478560A8B18BEE361DD799CDA3A32C55|/There's about 30+ sources for each, so downloads are fairly quick.

havnblast Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 I knew the bandwidth was going to be an issue today - got 0.7 and love it, downloading Thunderbird - took a few tries to connect but it went thru and downloading at 25KB - of course these are both for linux, I haven't downloaded the windows versions yet, I figure those can wait.Prelude I hear ya on the P2P - it's not all bad, just has a bad rep is all, just like people saying the internet is nothing but porn and spam Quote
bjf123 Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 ugh!!! kinda stupid of Mozilla to release all three at once and KILL THEIR FTP SERVERS IN THE PROCESS!!I've tried multiple times today at work and now at home. No luck at all. I guess I'll just wait until next week and try again. Quote
Prelude76 Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 just like people saying the internet is nothing but porn and spam yeah, well it is, isnt it? just a big cess pool of filth, pedophiles, perverts and communists. let's shut it down and restart and new and improved ultra-Hepa fitlered Internet 2.0 TM Quote
GolfProRM Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Try these links... worked fine for meftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...d/releases/0.7/ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thu...d/releases/0.3/ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/moz...ses/mozilla1.5/ Quote
GolfProRM Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 If these don't work, I could probably upload some of them to my website as a mirror. Quote

Here:http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt...it-1_5b-MiK.xpiIf you don't trust the "xpi", simply save it to disk and extract the "Jar" file with winzip etc. and go from there. Quote
Peachy Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Just to chime in, man, is it fast on a P4 running @2.16 GHz! Next stop will be the GTK2+/XFT optimized build on an AthlonXP/Red Hat Linux 9 box. Quote
nlinecomputers Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 xpi files are fine. Thanks for the link. On loading I realized that it was Orbit Retro that I was using not 3+1. So this http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~mkunz/ gets you to his page. It looks to be in german but you can figureout most of it. I'm now got my Retro theme and it all looks normal again. Quote
Stonegiant Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 What, precisely, is Mozilla? I use Thundirbird and Firebird, but there seems to be a separate download called Mozilla. Is Mozilla a suite of both? Is there any added content? Quote
havnblast Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Mozilla is a browser/email client - if you know Netscape you know Mozilla - 1.5 is the last of the mozilla suite supposedly Quote
