Mozilla..

Post by **haas mark** » 2003-05-12 10:41pm

Okay, so I finally downloaded Mozilla. It's basically an upgraded version of Netscape.

Some aspects I like, but others not so much (I can't see marque scripts).

MARQUEE is an IE-specific tag that should be dragged out on the street and eviscerated, much like Netscape's BLINK tag.

It's more accurate to say that Netscape is a branded version of Mozilla.

[shrugs] I happen to like my marquee tag, thank you very much...

So how good is Opera?

I dled it not too long ago, a lot of things I didn't like about it so I just ditched it.

I think I may, as well. Netscape's just too weird for me. But I do like the pop-up blocker... and I like it better for cruising SD than IE..

I loathe those damned browser-specific tags. I prefer writing clean code.

I find Phoenix a better alternative than Mozilla, since it's only a browser (yet uses the same rendering engine)

So do I.

Speaking of Phoenix aka Firebird, is it a good idea to go from Mozzie to the 'Bird? I also wanna know if Mozzie 1.4 is basically Phoenix anyway...

i.e., JavaScript? blech.. Oh, well. It *does* tend to work on all browsers. But I'm talking about when it's not my choice and people use marquee tags..

Too awesome for words!!

-----------------------

Netscape released its source code a while ago, and Mozilla is the open-source version of it i.e. no lag, a little faster etc...

Phoenix, also known as Firebird or Mozilla Browser, is a cut-down, fast version of Mozilla with minimal bloat. It's currently based on Mozilla 1.4a.

I started to use Mozilla ay college, but within HOURS it had eaten up my entire 20Mb alloted space, so that I had to delete all my papers,a dn STILL couldn't save my bloody 25k essay.

Dude, if you're gonna use Mozilla, get 1.2.1. Stay clear of 1.3. That version blows more chunks than a drunk with a hangover....

Well I thought some versions of moz did support marquee somewhat? Well at least 1.2.1. I have only seen two sites using the marquee tag though- my little sister's page and the school home page (that site is awful- blue and orange do not go together). The guy who is the webmaster, who was my history teacher for a week is an idiot.

EDIT: well I think they got rid of the marquee

Kill the browser cache.

Use Phoenix. A lot smaller

EDIT: And it's now called "Firebird", since the Phoenix BIOS company threatened to sue them. And now the new name conflicts with that of an open source database, which happens to be the first result on google.
