New Features and Fixes

  • Many great improvements to Mozilla Composer including:
    • better resizing for images, tables and absolutely positioned objects
    • support for absolutely positioned objects, movable on the canvas using the mouse
    • support for z-index management
    • "snap to grid" when moving an absolutely positioned object
    • Source View now uses an editor instead of a simple textarea (allows find and replace)
    • numerous fixes in caret management, inline styles handling and CSS styles handling
  • Chatzilla now has support for logging and lots of bugfixes.
  • Dom Inspector can now display the #document node (the document root.)
  • A quicksearch filter has been implemented for about:config.
  • Improvements to tabbed browsing including:
    • Back and Forward navigation for tabbed browsing and bookmark groups has been improved. Users can now use the back button after loading a bookmark group to restore the previous tabs.
    • Closing a window with multiple tabs now prompts the user with a confirmation dialog (which can be disabled for future close operations.)

  • The '::' notation for CSS pseudo-elements is now supported. The old ':' notation is still supported for the various -moz-* pseudo-elements, but will NOT be supported in Mozilla 1.5. Themes should be updated to use the '::' notation for pseudo-elements.

  • Mozilla MailNews now supports the printing of the attachments list.

Interesting...

I wonder if "Mozilla should no longer cause GDI problems on Windows.
" - refers to a problem normally noted by Win9x/ME users, where with mult-tabs open, it can consume a large amount of GDI resources (to critical point!) - thought to be a problem related to the memory cache, and PARTIALLY alleviated by restricting the size of the cache.

Mozilla builds are certainly not optimized for DOS and alikes like 9X nd ME.
Still at Mozillazine forums you can get builds of Mozilla and Firebird optimized for 9X and/or old CPU's- or finally you can grab the code and make your own build, optimized for YOUR system.
