The best feature by far in this release is the notification if you close the browser window with multiple tabs. Beffore, if you accidently double clicked on the 'X' on a window above and FF 'X' was right below it, then you were screwed and you had no tabs, which if like me you have tens of at a time.

There was (is) an extension to warn you about having tabs open when you closed FF. Think of all the needless cursing you might have prevented... :p

I hope at least this will make me come to Neowin using Firefox. Right now I have been using IE 7 only to come to Neowin. Sometimes the left panel doesnt load properly in Firefox. Refreshing solves the problem but still I would Firefox over anything else.

I really, really hate Internet Explorer. It's such a bug-infested Piece of Crap (PoC) that it's constantly ripping my nerves.

,Jun 4 2004, 11:18] lol yeah i was about to say.. IE7 = bs.. doesn't exist.

:angry: :angry: :angry: I didnt mis-spell what I wrote. Search on Google for IE7 and you will get answers. :angry: :angry:

IE 7 does exist. Except it is not Microsoft authorized/supported.

No, this is an un-authorized version of IE7. All it does is make the existing version web compliant. I have been running it for some time and it works and makes my sites CSS compliant.

Check it out here. Read the instructions and make the changes. Instructions are clearly written and should be followed to the point.

Any changes you make to your system is at your own peril. I take no responsibility if you **** up IE in your system.

that's just a piece of software someone completely not part of MS made. It's uses IE6's core.

Great News! I can barely wait for a new version of firefox! Lets hope this one is better then the .8 version I am using right now. Will .9 support all the current extensions created for .8?

Nope. They have to be updated to the new standards.

Yeah but don't worry.. there is a new build in mozilla update site that lets you download the new versions of the extensions.. many extensions authors have already made their extensions compliant with the 0.9 standards. Don't worry.. almost 20 extensions have already been updated.. a lot of them the populary widely used ones such as tabbed browser extensions and adblock.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
