The apostrophemobile just got into a head-on collision with the irony police. - beltzner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This isn't really news. We've been blogging about our proposed roadmap for Firefox 2.0 since ... well ... before 1.5 came out. You can follow along at home on the wiki. Mike Connor and I are hoping to finalize this plan (ie: take it out of draft) by next week. Work is already well underway on several of the line items.
- ProAm500, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5i wont care until they fix there memory issues....
- thejokell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How can an alpha be released as a public beta???
- beltzner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3(wiki url: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:2.0_Product_Planning:Draft_Plan)
- erhysen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The article lost all credibility with me with this line:
"Little is known about IE 7.0."
Uhh... there's been a feature complete, stable beta on MSDN for months now.... - saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They've got to fix all of these random crashes and memory problems. That'll be my Firefox 2.0.
- Double-Z, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2>>Maybe they will finally put the close tab button in the actual tab. Then I wouldn't need Tab X.
You know you can middle-button click on a tab to close it? - teamparadox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can someone please clarify wtf an alpha beta is...?
Call me crazy but an Alpha build and a Beta build are different. Alpha is pre-beta, so saying an Alpha Beta is coming out next months makes zero sense...which is it because I cant RTA yet.
Public Alpha test, or Public Beta test? - jhaven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mastertech, is that your site? Because it is horribly misinformed, and most of the times it attempts to bash firefox, it doesn't even acknowledge the utter failures of IE.
also "IE fully supports HTML 4.01" should never be recognized as an achievement. - kickarse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Probably more in line with Deerpark
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It can't match loading times on Mac compared to Safari RSS.
I would use it, because it has a much more customizable modular theme which I dig, but Safari is light and fast.
Best of luck to them, I'll try it out and closely watch it's progress. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Considering how little they're actually planning on doing with this new version, why not call it 1.6?
In my opinion, it still significantly lags behind even older versions of Opera, especially in terms of speed and stability. - jhaven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Actually it says:
"Internet Explorer has very good support (87%) for the most important web standard, HTML 4.01.""
thanks for correcting that... Woohoo! 87% support for a standard that's going on 7 years old, in a browser that is 10+ years old!
meanwhile (citing your same source) a browser that is less than 4 years old has 94% support for the same standard.
furthermore, in EVERY specification listed in your "source" firefox outperforms IE.
either you made the site in jest, or are truly of sub par intelligence. - exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't think it lags behind opera in terms of speed, and 1.5 so far has seemed very stable to me, hasn't crashed once.
2.0 alpha probably suggest bigger changes than would be common for just a .01 upgrade as well. - p00p, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"An alpha version of Firefox 2.0 should be released as a public beta next month."
let's read that again.
"An ALPHA version of Firefox 2.0 should be released as a public BETA next month."
what. - standsolid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Seems early.
Also -- I don't want to see firefox news on digg/dot simply to not give opera/IE guys another forum to smash it. It's all irrelevant and we don't care. - theWaterboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1+ digg, just because FireFox rocks!
- incognegro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The first thing on the next Fx bug fixes list better be the goddamn memory leak....there is NO need for a browser to take up over 1.5gig of ram after sitting open all night on google.com
- rickst13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I will quote a line from the Firefox Myths site that also seems to describe the site itself.
"Reality - This is very misleading" - shakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Heh, the truth about Firefox hurts. The zealots are coming out of the woodwork."
The problem is that there is not one single item on that list that accurately depicts both Firefox and IE. - dknighton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Figures...good news about a good browser, and the first comment posted is negative feedback from some Opera fanboy.
- Kev585, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I haven't had any crash issues with this release, the memory usage is a little much and annoying. Someone mentioned not liking where the tab X is, I like it there compared to Opera on the tab.
- burndive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Can someone please clarify wtf an alpha beta is"
http://www.groceteria.com/alphabeta/ - troydoogle7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Little is known about IE 7.0. It is known, however, to feature tabbed browsing and enhanced security, which have been the two biggest selling points for Firefox."
FYI You can download the beta and try it......... - djlysuc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whoever wrote that article seems to have no clue. The ALPHA release will be next month with the beta around April. Look at the wiki product planning for the correct info.
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:2.0_Product_Planning:Draft_Plan - Elxx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Indeed, even with no extensions, I find Firefox locking up after a few hours...a visit to the Task Manager shows it taking up over 400MB of my memory. That's terrible.
- mxman420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0garg ..... thanxs....i did an unistall...total...and reinstalled it, much much better,....sorry Opera. F IE!
- joeyjojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not sure where MasterTech's paranoia comes from.
- NeilM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1YES!!!!
- jamiem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+02.0 better stop crashing and leaking memory.
- buck09, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1As long as it eats up ***** of RAM and never returns any to the OS after the viewed page is navigated away from, Hell Yeah I'll Upgrade!!!!!
- ShaunJordan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Oh Cripes!!
I just got 1.5 exactly as I like it with all my extensions!!"
You know, you don't HAVE to update.. - mogebier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh Cripes!!
I just got 1.5 exactly as I like it with all my extensions!! - DoTheFandango, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Maybe they will finally put the close tab button in the actual tab. Then I wouldn't need Tab X.
- phantom_mullet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah..."confirmed" prolly means "I read it online somewhere."
- FunkyGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hopefully they will fix embedded video once and for all....
- jinexile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jhaven, I think mastertech truely beleives the naive, misleading stuff he publishes on that site.
- mxman420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0One more thing.....
GOD BLESS DIGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - tfejos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Firefox 2.0 in the age web 2.0 for the real webizens. :)
- TKDWILSON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0""""
"An ALPHA version of Firefox 2.0 should be released as a public BETA next month."
what.""""""
The guy wasn't thinking. Should read, "The ALPHA version of Firefox 2.0 should be released as a public BETA next month."
That makes since.
Eric Wilson - porkchop1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Mastertech should update his page regarding the security. Just checked the Secunia site:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x is rated as a highly critical security threat with 21 of 91 unpatched vulnerbilities
Compared with firefox's less critical rating leaving 3 of 26 unpatched
IE: http://secunia.com/product/11/
FF: http://secunia.com/product/4227/ - TheFlyingMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe they'll fix my java issue! >:-X
- uebergeekess, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i tried IE7...the beta version...its a ***** attempt at tabbed browsing.
- Abydos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great new. Dugg it
- sergio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is this the version that doesn't randomly take 100% CPU after it's done rendering the page? I'd even settle for the version that doesn't take up so much memory.
And to those saying the culprits are extensions, I'm not using any. If it's not already part of the browser, then the browser is missing something. - frankiefrankie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No need for a new version until they solved memory leaks. I gave up using Firefox long ago. I love it but it just doesn't work.
- jinexile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thenik, you should go to the mozillazine.org forums in the firefox support forum there is a stickied thread dedicated to help fix/determine the cause of many of the memory issues some people are experiencing in 1.5.
- salmonmoose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"You know you can middle-button click on a tab to close it?"
you've changed my life ;) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what I still hate is how the "downloads" box pops up in another window. i wish it was like in Opera, where it was its own tab.... same with the favorites organizer in opera
