Mozilla 1.5 RC-2 should be out tonight. It will contain about 20 fixes since 1.5 RC-1, including a preference for append vs. replace in bookmark group loading.

Mozilla 1.4.1 is pretty much done, we just need to make some time to get the bits on FTP, so hopefully in the coming few days.

Mozilla Firebird 0.7 is very nearly done. I think we'll be having a release candidate in the next day or so.

The "Clean" style for site, donated by Colin Ramsay, is much improved with the inclusion of the background image and I think it looks just great.

I've thrown the laptop with the dead hard drive into a box on the floor of my cube where it will sit until AOL reclaims all their equipment and I vacate the building in a few days. I'm up and running on two Mozilla Foundation desktops (a PC running RHL Severn and a G4 running OS X) and I hope get a new laptop soon. Anyone got recommendations for a not-Dell laptop that supports 1600x1200 screen resolution and happily runs Red Hat Linux?

Sweet! Here comes Firebird 0.7!

The Sony VAIO GRT Series Notebook GRT 250/270 Series has a model that does 1600*1200:

Asa, Why not get VMWare or Virtual PC
That would allow you to test with multiple Windows operating systems on the same box

Um, were you planning on applying those styles to the individual entry pages? I like the clean style a lot.

I still like default ;-)

Good to hear you're already up and running on mozilla foundation machines.

Can't wait to force upgrade Fb 0.7 over 0.6.1 on all my friend's machines..

Good to see that FB is moving on. I can't wait to see MOz 1.5 RC2. I hope they fix the annoying .ffif-bug (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163254). I second Yusuf - get VPC or Vmware. I run VPC on my Mac, and I really love to chuck windows into the trash when it acts up. Then, I copy the backup of my windows disk image and use that!

Alternatively there's http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ which is like VMWare but open source.

I like the appearance of the Clean style. However, if you zoom in the text, the menu text will move to the right, making it illegible. It should resize within the menu space.

Thank Christ that I can set group tabs to append. I can finally stop using 1.4 (I thought I might be stuck with it forever) and move back to the bleeding edge of Mozillaness.

Yaaay!

Asa,
If you add this to #links2 in the Clean style sheet, it will fix the problem with text zoom that David noted:

width : 200px;
padding-right : 6px;

Oops, I left out of my fix above: change left to 0px.
