Jacob's Mozilla TipsJacob's Mozilla Tips - LiveJournal.comMozilla Firefox 0.9 is out tip 33- June 15, 2004 Another milestone on the road to Phoenix ( Mozilla Firefox 1.0 ) is out.Here is my summary what you can expect from the 0.9 release.1. Extension Theme manager that allows easy updating and removal of themes extensions 2. New default theme. ( look in my entry from the 6th June for a screenshot) 3. Wizard to import preferences from other browsers (IE, Netscape Opera) This way you can easily copy bookmarks, cookies, passwords and other preferences in Firefox 0.9. 4. A somewhat faster browser.http://jacob667.livejournal.com/13001.html Mozilla Firefox 0.9 will be out today- June 14, 2004 Mozilla Firefox 0.9 will also be out today. Looks like Mozilla.org is trying to stress their servers as much as possible :-)In the waiting time for the release I recommend the following sites:Release Notes for Mozilla Firefox 0.9 Jesse Ruderman's Bigger Picture (what's new in Firefox 0.9)Neil Turner's Tour for Firefox 0.9http://jacob667.livejournal.com/12790.html Mozilla Suite 1.7 out tomorrow- June 14, 2004 Mozilla Suite 1.7 should be out tomorrow at mid-day (pacific time). That is about 9 o'clock in the evening for Western Europe. I have not seen the final release notes but you can take a look at the notes for the third release candidate ( there should not be any differences between the RC3 and the final 1.7) Here is a source for the release tomorrow. You can also see the Release Status page for Mozilla Suite 1.7I'm not that big fan of the suite, I'm more a firefox guy :-) But the suite is...http://jacob667.livejournal.com/12538.html About tip 31 and tip 32- June 7, 2004 I have now in a few days worked with the extension I mentioned in tip 32. At first it seemed like a really good extension but there is a problem. If you click on a link in your mail program it will open up a new tab. But it will not focus on the new tab (it's opened in the background) so you have to move your mouse to the tab and click on it. It would be better it the tab opened up in the foreground.I asked Aaron if it would be possible to open up the external link in foreground but he did not.http://jacob667.livejournal.com/12207.html Teaser for new default theme- June 6, 2004 (taken from http:kmgerich.com ) It will already be introduced in Mozilla Firefox 0.9 but the theme is not yet finished so it will get some more polish before Firefox 1.0 . Personally I like the Qute theme but the new Winstripe theme also looks nice :-)http://jacob667.livejournal.com/11930.html Open links from other apps in a new tab tip 32- June 1, 2004 In tip 31 I mentioned that it was possible to let Firefox open links from other applications in a new window. This is all very good but how do you get Firefox to open a link in a new tabI have just found a brand new extension that solves the problem. It's a very small extension named: Single Window Mode Extension. If you look at the extension you have an option to let Firefox open all links in a new tab ( instead of opening new Windows). You can also choose to let Firefox open external links in.http://jacob667.livejournal.com/11622.html |
