What's New in Mozilla 1.3

Mozilla Mail has junk-mail classification. With some initial "training" the client can identify and segregate spam messages from good messages. To see more about Mozilla's junk-mail classification, visit the Mozilla Spam Filtering page.
Newsgroup filters have been implemented.
An initial implementation of Mozilla Midas, rich text editing controls, have landed in Mozilla for 1.3. See the Midas page for more information.
Image auto sizing allows a user to toggle between full-sized images and images sized to fit the browser window. To give it a try, load a large image into the browser window or size the window to be much smaller. Now clicking on the image will alternate between auto-sized and full-sized.The feature can be disabled (or enabled) from the Appearance panel in Preferences.
Users can now "dynamically" switch profiles. To give it a try, from the tools menu select "Switch Profile..."
Find as you type, formerly known as type ahead find, has a new preferences panel (Advanced: Keyboard Navigation).
When installed, Chatzilla now has a normal Mozilla preferences panel.
Mozilla 1.3 also includes fixes for performance, standards compliance and site compatability.

is this the final or still a beta, I don't see any news about it on mozilla.org.

#1.1 kal-ky on 13 Mar 2003 - 20:15

It's a Release Candidate. They don't want to have a 1.2.1 case anymore.

[neoquote=#1.1 by kal-ky]It's a Release Candidate. They don't want to have a 1.2.1 case anymore.[/neoquote] Cool, thanks for the clarification. I guess it doesn't matter if it's beta or not though as the 1.3 code base has been perfect for me the whole time hehe.

#3.2 mAcOdIn on 13 Mar 2003 - 21:10

sometimes you have to delete your profile when moving between moz versions.

#3.3 nonick on 13 Mar 2003 - 21:13

[neoquote=#3.2 by mAcOdIn]sometimes you have to delete your profile when moving between moz versions.[/neoquote] ok! thanks for the tip. will do so if 1.3 didnt work well either

#3.4 mAcOdIn on 13 Mar 2003 - 21:20

Yeah, you usually don't have to as much on mozilla as you do phoenix, but I've found that if you do get a bug, then most likely deleting your profile and reinstalling will fix it. But you can keep your plugins though, just copy your mozillaplugins folder somewhere and after you've reinstalled mozilla just copy it back.

#4 mintll on 13 Mar 2003 - 21:08

Mozilla 1.3's here motherfucker W00T

#5 ChaosofChange on 13 Mar 2003 - 21:30

w00t ind33d! Best on the net and only getting better. Makes you wonder what they'll do next to it.

#6 zionath on 13 Mar 2003 - 21:32

odd.... even tho it has the new startup logo n stuff.... when i click "Help -> About" it's still saying 1.21...

#7 tmaxxtigger on 13 Mar 2003 - 21:55

I'm an avid IE user, however this is certainly a great alternative, significanty better in certain departments....

I can't wait for 0.6 Pheonix! I wonder when that'll be out?

#8.1 quanta on 14 Mar 2003 - 01:45

I know, where the heck is Pheonix 0.6? (Or whatever they are going to rename it to, due to copyright issues) Pheonix 0.5 crashes a lot on me at work. But Moz at home is running like a champ. I'm gonna test out this spam filtering AI.

#8.2 jl7c2 on 14 Mar 2003 - 20:58

Phoenix 0.6 will never be out! They are renaming it

#9 ALUOp on 13 Mar 2003 - 23:05

Good!!! Blinking issue has been fixed too!!!

#10 Marduk on 13 Mar 2003 - 23:26

after uninstalling it slowed down my presious Phoenix

#11 zivan56 on 13 Mar 2003 - 23:53

Finally 1.3 final. One of the greatest features in Mozilla is type ahead; for people who like to type instead of using that mouse

I prefer Phoenix over Mozilla. But there still isn't a browser that works with everything like IE does. The Mozilla/Phoenix authors refuse to make their browsers work with everything due to the fact the webpage doesn't follow the exact html rules. Which I think is stupid, because they ruin the browser by doing that. I hate the spyware IE has built in. So I use Phoenix for most of my browsing, and have to load IE for the pages it doesn't work on.

[neoquote=#13.0 by TC17]I hate the spyware IE has built in. So I use Phoenix for most of my browsing, and have to load IE for the pages it doesn't work on. [/neoquote] Just what spyware does IE come with? There's ONE registry key for Alexia that can easily be removed, I could make the same argument about Talkback(which I think is useful). I don't like IE either, just don't see what your talking about.

#14 kev64 on 14 Mar 2003 - 01:29

IE is the standard.

#15 neoufo51 on 14 Mar 2003 - 01:35

I think I'm going to wait till 2.0 until I would consider changing from IE/Outlook to Mozilla. I dont like how Mozilla mail makes a bunch of folders for every Email account you have, I just want an inbox, outbox, trash, and drafts for ALL my accounts, OE style.

(2 replies) #16 notbychoice on 14 Mar 2003 - 02:08

oh yay another pos release. seriously guys, if you are anti MS (perhaps due to jealousy) i suggest opera. its so much faster than mozilla, and uses less resources too if you were really smart however, youd use ie, because CONTINUOUS tests have proven that ie is faster, and uses less resources. dont like popups? want tabbed browsing? want more gay "features?".. download a program that imbeds IE.. theres dozens of them.

#16.1 quanta on 14 Mar 2003 - 03:07

Hey, let us use whatever and you use whatever, okay? Maybe we like "gay features" like tabs, ad blocking, popup blocking, encrypted form passwording, customizable skins, spam filtering, and a cookie manager. Or maybe we like being able to pick whatever software we want to run, instead of having it being force-fed/integrated into our OS. Which is the whole point.

#16.2 zivan56 on 14 Mar 2003 - 03:08

Yes, keep your "continous tests" to yourself. As for features, use Lynx if you dont want any of them; it has even less features than IE and runs in a console.

#17 Hills420 on 14 Mar 2003 - 02:25

Forget Opera. Mozilla kicks.

#18 DsnBehind on 14 Mar 2003 - 02:57

TC17: [quote]I hate the spyware IE has built in.[/quote] What spyware? Just disable the auto-update thingy and there you go.

#19 zivan56 on 14 Mar 2003 - 03:05

If you want auto images resize, go to Preferences -> Appearance and check the box at the bottom.

the new nightly's of phoenix are pwning me, on the real. if you have not updated to the latest nightie of phx, DO IT. you wont regret it.

#20.1 [saint dark] on 14 Mar 2003 - 06:41

whats new in the nightly Toxikk?

#20.2 Fotix on 14 Mar 2003 - 07:15

speed improvements from the 1.4a trunk. definitely noticeable; not a placebo. some stuff from 1.3 of gecko isn't in the newest nightlies though (like MIDAS), which is a regression I guess.

#20.3 Toxikk on 14 Mar 2003 - 15:22

icons on the prefs SPEED! its overall just a lot better than has been in the past 2 months or so.

#21 CheeseCow on 14 Mar 2003 - 08:39

I've never seen a browser that can have so much stuff. Just by typing the text of a URL and just going there, tabs, built-in prefetching. And all the cool stuff at www.mozdev.org - I'm just happy

hey any one noticed that MultiZilla doesnt work anymore with 1.3final also the themes dont work? well that sux, i hope they release updates

#22.1 Unforgiven on 14 Mar 2003 - 12:49

Forget about MultiZilla, try this

http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/xpi/tabextensions.xpi And... don't know why themes don't work for you - my 1.3 final seems ok

#22.2 nonick on 14 Mar 2003 - 20:42

[neoquote=#22.1 by Unforgiven]Forget about MultiZilla, try this

[/neoquote] thanks for that plugin, it works and has nice features but 2 problems with it... the tab is wayy too thin (height not width) in multizilla it looks much better if you fill the whole screen with tabs, the new ones dont show up.. they go off screen unlike in multizilla where they make the tabs smaller so they all can fit in... and about the skins...(themes) in main window they work fine, but in email program they doesnt show up correctly, the buttons..

#25 Dark Warhawk on 15 Mar 2003 - 15:26

I also had the same problem with zone and Mozilla 1.3 i just gave server permission and all seems fine right now. Odd why it would even need it? As far as opera, yes it is faster, but it displays web sites so ugly I stay away from it Edit: never mind it just went gay on me. i am running put of ideas why its doing this
