I’ve been using Mozilla for some time now, and it’s pretty sweet. I had some trouble getting Shockwave plugins to work with it for some reason, but that’s working OK now. I LOVE the “tabs” feature.
My only wish is that the Google toolbar worked with it. I have a Google Sidebar, but I found the toolbar slightly more convenient.
Who else uses it? On what platforms? I use it on my primary machine (Win XP) and on a couple Red Hat LINUX machines.
I’m using it too. I adore it. I was using Netscape 7.0, but I switched to Mozilla because it has the option to kill unrequested windows. I haven’t seen a pop-up advert in weeks!
If you discover any problems or inconsistencies, make sure to let them know. After all, if you let them know, there’s a better chance that the next release will have corrected that problem. I’ve had a disagreement with an address form that was in Java, I believe (clicking the “submit” button didn’t do anything), and there is one site (I think it was teentvmovies.com or something)(Hey, I was looking up stuff for Buffy!) that keeps crashing Mozilla. I’m gonna see if it still happens, and if it does I’ll email them the problem.
Oh, and I’m running it on XP Professional. I’ll probably install it on my laptop as well (Win2000 Professional).
I use Mozilla as my backup browser - Normally I use opera. I’m actually using it at the moment because Opera is misbehaving. It’s marginally more stable, but I don’t like the interface as much and I find opera a bit more versatile. I love the mouse gestures feature.
Use it, love it. It supports a bunch of geeky things IE doesn’t, ranging from complex (MNGs and alpha channel transparency in PNGs) to simple (dotted borders). Great CSS support too.
Oh, and about the Google toolbar, the Preferences (in Navigator, Internet Search) lets you change the address bar search engine to Google. Then you can type in your query in the address bar and select “Search for ‘whatever’ in Google.” Not sure if that’s functionally equivalent, but I like it.
I downloaded it about a week ago. I don’t know what to say about it yet—it’s too soon to know, really. But so far, it’s been fine. No problems at all. Kind of like Netscape 6 without the bugs and crashing (so far)!
Mozilla edged out Opera as my browser of choice–a trifle slower, but behaves better with sites that Opera had no idea what to do with. When I browse at work, I’m pained at having to use IE because of the inexcusable lack of pop-up control. Tabbed browsing kicks ass, of course.
I’m a die-hard Mozilla user. I’ve been using it four about 2 years now. Watching the browser evolve has been very intresting.
Mozilla 1.0 is an amazing product. It can block all unrequested pop-ups (the most killer feature), block images from annoying, ad-serving domains (killer feature number two), and has tabbed browsing (number three). Mouse gesturs are supported (via a easy to install module).
On my XP Pro machine, it loads up nearly as fast as IE. If I turn on the “quicklaunch” feature, Mozilla actually loads FASTER than IE.
Themes, easily portable bookmarks via one file, more stable than IE, and 100% standards compliant. Free with no ads, even Opera can’t do that.
My everyday browser is iCab, but now that I’m starting to play in the X Windows environment (a different graphical shell than the MacOS X Aqua, for GUI Unix apps) I downloaded the Unix Mozilla and I’ve used it a little bit in XDarwin.
It’s nice–better than MacOS X Mozilla, IMHO–but I miss “Open Link in Background Window” which is how I navigate the board with iCab.
I’ve been using Mozilla for about 3 weeks. I also use Opera but there are a few sites that just don’t work well with Opera.
The features that I most like are the block unrequested pop-ups, and the tabbed windows which are all features found on Opera as well. The Mozilla mail program seems to be pretty good overall.
Before Opera and Mozilla, I used to use netscape Communicator 4.7. I tried netcape 6.2 but it would either crash or just not work with the sites I was looking at. This got me looking for an alternative browser. I still have IE and use it maybe once a month, but I don’t really like it.
