/me wonders if they will put the RSS support back

but I think not. It's been scrapped from 1.5 and will be in "The Next Big Thing" aka 2.0

Edit : Oh dammit. They completely removed RSS support :angry: Edit 2 : Actually, there's some kind of strange RSS support in Firefox 1.5. You can add live bookmarks and they link you directly to the page.. I guess it isn't a bad thing after all.

But they finally updated their menus to look more like other XP-applications in the default theme!! Woohoo!! I waited a long time for that! It's looking great.

Just installed the Mac version. Nice clean installation; typical drag-n-drop into Applications. Started ok. I'm able to post this message ok ;). Think I'll still have preference for Safari, due to integrated spell checker. I know that Firefox has a spell checking extension out there, but it really doesn't compare if you ask me.

Ummm.... hmmm... looks nice :).

It is cool how much choice there is with web browsers these days, across all platforms.

It's supported in some kind of way, completely different from Safari though.

Edit : The updates.... there's a bunch of them

Gecko rendering engine updated (good for website developers especially, they can do some more stuff that would not display well with firefox before)

Options menu better

Tabs drag and drop

Better support for Mac OS X

etc... I'm 100% sure you'll find this information if you google it or if you search through neowin.

if any of your extensions or themes not working with this beta try out this extension

when u got it installed, right click on ur extension or theme and click make compatabile (spelling?) Ive done it to Tabbrowsing Preferences and AquaFox theme!

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
