GolfProRM Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 Prelude76 is our Mozilla Guru around here, but didn't see him around and did see the notice that it was out, so wanted everyone to know. I'm sure he'll be able to fill you in on all the positives of the new release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan, one question, what's the difference between the Linux d/l:mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.4-sea.tar.gzand:mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.4.tar.gzbesides the 1.5 MB difference?

GolfProRM Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 Good question quint... Don't know that I can answer that one though :(Maybe you should investigate that and report back. Wish I knew, but I don't... May have to boot into Slack tonight and play around with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 Main Mirror is up now!!ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4/Quint - I think the one with the sea (the bigger one) is the one they recommend downloading.. it's the one linked to on all their main pages... Still don't know the exact difference, but I can tell you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't know the exact difference, but I can tell you that. Ryan,Still have not found out the exact differences, but did find out this (after d/l and installing both): "v. 1.4-sea" has something of an installer, whereas "v. 1.4" is like Firebird - just extract, and click on the "mozilla" file; other than that, don't know any major differences. First impressions: seems quicker and more stable than the recent builds, but don't they always. If anything comes up of significance, will be sure to post it...thanks again for making us aware of the release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted June 30, 2003 Author Share Posted June 30, 2003 A ha! The difference between the two Linux downloads is the bigger one (1.4-sea) has the talkback agent with it (meaning if it crashes you can report the data)... The other one does not have this.Windows versions are the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prelude76 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Prelude76 is our Mozilla Guru around here, but didn't see him around and did see the notice that it was out, so wanted everyone to know. I'm sure he'll be able to fill you in on all the positives of the new release. that I am. but being a Canadian, we had our long holidway weekend this past weekend, therefore I was far far away from any computer we're an impatient bunch. you guys have memorial weekend, we have our victoria weekend 1 week earlier. you have independence day this weekend, we just had ours 1 week earlier about Mozilla 1.4, the best i've found is the increase in boot time (still not up to Firebird speeds, but definately faster than pre 1.4 versions. also, I love the 'smooth scrolling' ala Internet Explorer style. Its disabled by default but the readme says how to enable it. other than than, bug fix bug fix and more bug fix. Netscape 7.1 will be built on 1.4 Mozilla, so they wanted a rock solid release kinda like the 1.0 release. Netscape will add AIM and ICQ and a spell checker, plus lots of other AOL propaganda into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prelude76 Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 a note about Mozilla 1.4. One of our forum members (i forget who it was, sorry) mentioned that mozilla crashed on load with the 1.4 RC series. If it happens to you, try this. it looks like incompatible extensions are the problem. * If you are experiencing crashes on startup in xpcom.dll it is very likely that there is an incompatibility with some third-party extension. To work around this problem, uninstall your previous version of Mozilla, and completely delete the Mozilla install directory before performing the new install. You will not lose your profile data (such as bookmarks, preferences and cookies) but any third party extensions and plugins may be lost.
