Noticed that yesterday also. Tried to download it then so I could explain to my bro how to set up the mail. Sure hope the browser is faster than the site!! Although after I get it and set him up, I'm removing it. Prefer Opera WAY more!!

Edit:

Am I seeing correctly? There is NO e-mail in this browser? POS!! Click, uninstalled!!

Firefox is a standalone web browser. Thunderbird is its sister mail application.

hrm , iwas out all weekend. just downloaded new 0.8 firefox. installed it...but where the heck did my fwd/back buttons go? they simply disappeared... :(

ur probably using a custom theme. 0.8 doesn't support the old themes. u'll have to use the default theme for now untill authors update it. see my post a bit above for a link that has some 0.8 themes

I see they didn't fix this bug (it's been one for a while now)... :cry:

A-Z sort order for the bookmark menu.

Actually, this option has been in it for a long time. You just didn't see it.

If you click on Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks, you'll be presented with a window.

In the menu in this new window (the bookmark manager), choose View -> A>Z Sort Order, now your bookmarks (and folders) will be sorted alphabetically.

Quote from Mozilla Firefox Release Notes:

First, if you are running an old version of Firebird or Phoenix, visit the Extensions panel in Tools, Options and disable all of your extensions. If you cannot disable extensions, you must create a new profile before upgrading to Firefox 0.8. If you do not do this, your browser may not work, and you may receive messages like "Cannot create XBL Binding for Browser" or "Cannot create Browser Instance". You must now look for newer versions of your extensions that are described explicitly as being compatible with Firefox 0.8.

Hope this solves some problems. Great browser btw

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
