After what the developers involved call 'a ton of hard work all around,' Firefox 1.5 Beta 1, also known as the 1.8 Beta 4 milestone, will be released on Thursday 8th September. The news was relayed web-wide by Mozilla Developer News, and is certain to be welcomed by Firefox browser devotees who have been waiting for the first beta test version of the next major upgrade to their increasingly popular open-source browser.
I just began running the Alpha 2 and in most respects it is quite nice, but not flawless.
On the positive side, it has not locked up on me after nearly three days, whereas I usually expect Firefox 1.0.6 either to lockup or to have a sudden disappearance of the browser, while a video or audio player either plays my selection or fails. On average, this has been happening to me once or more a day. On the negative side: a few sites have problems in appearance, some as even LXer the links are not deselected after use, on most too navigation with the cursor keys (arrows) can be problematic.
we could skip hitting the link! What I found appeared to be a slightly longer summary, so hitting the read [entire/full] article was a bit of a surprise when I saw only the same text. Not too much content, when so much was about Opera. What am I missing?
