I don't understand what the features you listed are any better than what IE7 can offer. Since when is tabbed browsing a Firefox only feature? And with both browsers left at their default configuration, IE7 has one less toolbar than Firefox (Firefox has that stupid bookmarks toolbar)

Not trying to sound like a "fanboy", and don't get me wrong, Firefox is superb in performance. Just want to make it clear that the gap isn't as big as you make it sound.

Bear in mind that Firefox just work in my all machines (more than fine) Intead if Internet Explorer is by far better to me, even I don't install IE7, after use it always go for IE6

Right of course. Firefix is notably compatible with most PCs I have come across. I didn't even mention the fact that Firefox is incredibly customizable with addons. But amazingly, those aren't listed as features...

Does this also have the new UI improvements that were spoken of recently on that guys blog with icons and stuff ?

Yes

The back and forward buttons don't look right at all IMO. If you use the small icons they'll switch to the other ones though.

They look alright, but the back button is too big I think. Looks out of place. Look at the space above the top of the back button compared to the bottom of it and it makes it look crooked. Little things like that drive me nuts :laugh:

EDIT: I just noticed there's no Home button

Downloaded it for Mac OS, it really does look great now (especially in Leopard). Now finally it is written natively in Cocoa (or at least it looks like it is :|). There's a lot of layout problems in the preferences pane, but seriously I am very surprised. When I saw the interface on a screenshot a couple of months ago, I told myself it was a pure copy of Safari, but apparently they tweaked a few things and the layout is a little different. Oh yeah, it also needs to include every language by default, we're not supposed to choose which language we want to download FF in.

Thumbs up for this release! Finally FF follows OS X standards...

There not including all languages in one package, but they can do it very easily, it's only text. :) and text can be compressed.

There are like at least 80 languages and thousands of strings that are translated and even whole pages. The Firefox download would be like 30 mb.

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
