4/15    Is mozilla 1.0 worth the effort?  How stable is it?  thanks.
        \_ When they release it, I'll say.
        \_ I tried out .99.  Uhm yeah, ugly slow, did some weirdo things.
        \_ Yes, it is worth the effort. I have been using it on Linux for
           a while now. It is more functional and more stable than NS4 for
           Linux. I don't know about other OSes. You probably want to have
           at least a 400MHz P2 with plenty of RAM to run it comfortably.
        \_ I ran Mozilla 0.9x version. All i know that it is a lot slower
           than Netscape 4.7x.  I am running my Linux on a Pentium 180MHz
           with 96mb (plenty for other uses).    --kngharv
        \_ The latest .99 runs pretty well on my powerbook g3/400 under
           OS X. Its faster than IE in places and I really like tabbed
           browsing, but it can't download files properly and it pops up
           huge windows for each file that it downloads.

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:

9/13    Blah blah android blah, ok other than the bootjack stomp of the
        phone marketing crap of this, does anyone know where to find the old
        Android TCL scripting framework that was used for automating
        and controlling desktop apps (like mozilla for example). Thx.

7/15    Any comment on Firefox 3.5?  Better or worse than 3.0?  Thx.
        \_ currently has an unpatched remote code execution vulnerability,
           don't upgrade yet.  -tom
           \_ Ooh, glad that I asked.  Thanks!
              \_ 3.5.1 just released fixes it, supposedly.  Might be worth
                 waiting a few days to see how it shakes out.  -tom

        \_ The CSUA is considering asking campus to allow us to run NNTP for
           ucb.class.*, as bSpace sucks major major ass. Thoughts? --t
           \_ That's noble, but maybe the effort would be better spent

8/18    so i have a bunch of tabs open in one firefox window.  i have a bunch
        of tabs open in another firefox window.  how do i combine them all
        into one window ?
        \_ Why would anyone use tabs? I don't use tabs, and I don't
           understand why anyone else would either.     -dim #1 fan
        \_ Install the Duplicate Tab plugin, and hit Ctrl-Shift-M.
