Well, lets see, when I get home today I'll check to see if it will let me pay my bills on Wachovia Bill Pay. NOT!! It only works with IE according to them, and they have no intentions of fixing it.
At least I was notified yesterday that Bill Pay will now be free instead of $5.95.
Oh well, its not Firefox's fault, it is stupid IE and Wachovia's fault.

I'm surprised it's out for Mac. The devs were saying that there were specific problems in the Mac version that had to be dealt with before release...

Yeah, it's loading really slow for me, it would probably timeout, if I would let it go long enough.

Could be in my head, but it does seem a bit snappier. I hope its more stable at least, i was having at least one crash a day with the last build.
There's also a new updates button next to the google search in the top of the window. It changes colors based on the importance of the update. when i first started the program it was red for a "critical update"
Oh Good! They got rid of that stupid extra window. Using expose or command-squiggly (~) always showed an extra tiny window that could not be closed. All gone... WHee!!
I have yet to download the final version. Hopefully, they've already fixed the plug-in problems I was having yesterday with 1.0 RC2. Talkback sent three reports about it.
I noticed something strange last night. They finally fixed the XUL vertical scrollbar problem I reported in Mozilla 1.2. Along with the mysterious window, which is still there but really hidden well, they're finally getting the Mac version of XUL to work well.
Nice to see that there is a better alternative to those other browsers.

got it...
had to dl it from cnet since mozilla's website is a little busy at the moment.
latest version seems a little faster when dl'ing webpages. i like the update feature as well. only thing is that it couldn't update all the themes that i had installed. oh well.
is it me or does anyone else hate the way the google search box looks? i was hoping they could make it a little more sleek or attractive in this upgrade.
in any case, latest version seem pretty shh-weet.

Firefox still has a long way to go with their Bookmark management system. It was a real pain trying to organize bookmarks using their Manage Bookmarks window. For instance you can't organize bookmarks from the left pane, only from the right. Plus you can't re-order bookmarks directly from the personal toolbar.
Their RSS/Live bookmark feature is cool, but you can't aggregrate them into a single folder.
They have to work on the middle scroll button; one flick of the wheel and half a page scrolls by, there is no way to change the increments or is there?

Unless I misunderstand what you're describing, you can organize bookmarks from the SideBar. Type Cmd-B to show it if it's hidden. Then drag/drop them all you like.Sir_Giggles said:
Again, I'm not sure what you mean. Each Live Bookmark appears as a folder in your bookmarks list. If you want to collect them all together into a single folder, you can.Sir_Giggles said:
Or are you talking about combining articles from multiple RSS feeds into a single folder? That's not available, but I can't see why you'd want that. But maybe I'm just being thick-headed.
I think it follows the sensitivity set in the Mac's System Preferences (on the Mouse page). I know that the acceleration curve on the wheel is far too great to be useful in its default configuration, but it can be turned down. I've found this over-sensitivity to be true in all application, including the Finder, so I wouldn't consider it a Firefox problem.Sir_Giggles said:
Unfortunately, the two bugs that have been bugging me still haven't been fixed. One is that download manager windows doesn't always auto-close on download completion (especially if the file is very small or is already in the browser's cache). And the second is that wheel/center clicks do nothing (they should open a new tab.) According to discussions on Bugzilla, both of these have more or less been fixed, but the fixes were too late to make it into the 1.0 release. With luck, they'll be in 1.1.
I don't see what's so great about FireFox for Mac OS X, sure its better than IE for Mac but feature/speed/stability wise Safari, Camino and OmniWeb are much better and all use the Cocoa interface.
I've downloaded FireFox, scrolling is weird, its jumpy with the scroll wheel (even when smooth scrolling is on), some times when I move the scroll bar the contents of the window does not move. Also as someone already stated above, the middle mouse button doesn't work (to open links in new tabs).
FireFox is great for Windows, it really is much better than IE also the Windows version doesn't have the problems here we have on the OS X version (from what I have experienced).
