Mozilla has released the next version in the Firefox 1.5 branch. Per the release notes: Version 1.5.0.8 includes some minor security fixes: MFSA 2006-67 Running Script can be recompiled MFSA 2006-66 RSA signature forgery (variant) MFSA 2006-65 Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.0.8) Also this version will contain the upgrade feature (which for now is inactive) which will allow you to upgrade to Firefox 2. While I have not seen an exact date for this, it likely be around the time Firefox 2.0.0.1 is released (later this year). Still in several places Mozilla clearly states: “All users are strongly…

Per the release notes “Version 1.5 takes off the close btn from the tab. This has been fixed in v1.6.” So, after updating…

Last month I had pointed out in my post: ONE Lifetime Transfer with Windows Vista, a change to Microsoft EULA in regards to transferring your copy of Windows Vista to another device you owned. With the new changes you could make one transfer for the lifetime of the product without having to purchase a new license. From CyberNet News >>Vista Entices PC Enthusiasts With License Changes: Windows Vista Team Blog had to say about it: You may uninstall the software and install it on another device for your use. You may not do so to share this license between devices….
UPDATE: Firefox 1.5.0.8 has been released as of 11/08/06. Please see entry: Firefox 1.5.0.8 RELEASED for updated information and download link. Okay, so I like totally didn’t notice that Firefox 1.5.0.8 did NOT come out this past Wednesday as I had posted in Firefox 1.5.0.8 & IE7 Force Feeding. It was not until a forum member in Go Firefox! responded to my post there asking about the status that I realized this had happened. I also realized I had not been over to Firefox Builds on mozillaZine in a couple days as well. After checking in at Firefox Builds, I…
If you want to be different and have your tab bar at the bottom of the window, it can be done. You will need to modify your userChrome.css file (best if done with ChromEdit Plus) by adding: /* Display the tabbar at the bottom */ #content > tabbox { -moz-box-direction: reverse; }
Here we are, the 1st of November. Yikes, where has the year gone!? I just realized six months ago today was my first post, (then at the old Blogger site) A Blog is Born! Never thought this Blog would take off, of course never really knew how well it was doing (or not doing) until early September when I moved to the New Blog Home. The comments, links and ping backs have been pouring in, especially in regards to the Firefox Tweaks. Even more impressive are the number of visits, especially during last week, when Firefox 2 was released. I…
Ever wonder what is in your cache? Type ‘about:cache‘ in the address bar. This will bring on stats on your cache, then at the bottom of that page is a link ‘List Cache Entries’ which may take a bit too load if your cache is large. This page will list all your cache entries. Also, you can directly access the cache entries page by typing in the address bar ‘about:cache?device=disk‘. Now, keep in mind Firefox uses two caches, disk and memory. To view your memory cache, type in the address bar ‘about:cache?device=memory‘. Also, there is the CacheViewer Extension which allows…
Almost two months ago Microsoft announced the prices for Windows Vista and Office 2007 (see Update: Windows Vista Prices). Perhaps the new packaging (scroll down for more) has something to do with the higher prices? Here are few other blog sites comments: From CyberNet News: “Somehow The Vista Team Blog came up with a very unique way of making it sound like the packaging alone is worth hundreds of dollars. Shall we see how many words you can use describe a package: “Designed to be user-friendly, the new packaging is a small, hard, plastic container that’s designed to protect the…
