Happy FIrefox 2 day.
Well in a special birthday present to me, Firefox has released their latest offering. No more had I scurried off to get it when a network engineer I know in the UK had already sent me this. It's like 0800 there so he's probably sent me the link as his witty version of a birthday present.
Here is the report I was sent.
It pertains to JavaScript text display. Whilst he was all giddy with excitement a single flaw. I decided to thwart his evil plan. I tested it on his current fave browser, IE 7 - yeah I know.
Turns out that it's caught up in the saga of the text display box too. It doesn't quit quite so quickly as Firefox but none the less a number if seconds after loading the page in IE 7 you get this...
Now remember everyone, all browsers have security holes and we can't laugh and point at M4, it might cry, see here
As for the install of FF2 it went well, more than well. During install the routine checks for the compatability of your extensions, my colorZilla extension is fine, however and rather obviously the IE Tab extension needs an update, which isn't out yet.
I'm still not keen with the close button being on each tab, however - the inclusion of the "Recently Closed Tab" menu item inside history pretty much avails me of the ability to recover when I catch a close button by accident.
In other news, it's my Birthday - all card and comment greatfully received. And Chax the add on for Apple's iChat IM software has had an update.
