Mozilla have launched 1.7 RC 1 for final testing before release. Remember, 1.7 is becoming the stable branch for the forseable future, so if you have any instability file a talkback report or make a bugzilla post :)
Mozilla features:
* Official Mozilla 1.7 RC 1 installer builds for Windows and Linux contain the Talkback crash reporting utility. To help us make 1.7 the most stable release yet, please submit your crash reports.
* A new option to prevent sites using Javascript to block the browser's context menu.
* A new set of icons for files that are associated with Mozilla.
* Password Manager has a "show passwords" mode which will display saved passwords. You will need to enter your master password if you are using one.
* The "Set as wallpaper" feature now has a confirmation dialog.
* Linux GTK2 builds have improved support for OS themes.
* Cookie dialogs have been reworked to make them more usable.
* Date handling, especially on OS X, has been improved.
* Mozilla includes several improvements to Mozilla's pop-up blocking features.
o First, it is now possible to fine-tune it using two preferences (dom.popup_maximum and dom.popup_allowed_events) but there's no UI for that yet. Even without a UI, users should notice a greater variety of pop-ups blocked (primarily mouseover pop-ups) and a limit of 20 or so open at one time, regardless of whether pop-up blocking is active which provides some protection from sites that open hundreds of windows in a loop.
o also allows the user to review and retroactively open blocked windows via context (right-click) menu on the statusbar "blocked pop-up" icon.
* Downloaded files are now moved to the target directory as soon as the user selects the desired location. This was the frequently reported bug 55690.
* There is now user interface to activate Smooth Scrolling (Preferences -> Appearance).
