Mozilla 1.7rc3 Web Browser [OS X]
Mozilla is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability.
New in this version:
Browser
• Official Mozilla 1.7 builds for Windows, Linux, and Mac all contain the Talkback crash reporting utility. Help us make 1.7 the most stable release yet; please submit your crash reports.
• A new option to prevent sites from using JavaScript to block the browser's context menu.
• A new set of icons for files that are associated with Mozilla on Windows.
• 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.
• It is now possible to fine-tune Mozilla's pop-up blocking 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. This will provide some protection from sites that open hundreds of windows in a loop.
• 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).
• To protect users from installing malicious code unintentionally, extensions and add-ons can now only be installed from trusted sites on a "whitelist". The whitelist can be altered by changing the xpinstall.whitelist.add preference. The feature can be disabled by setting xpinstall.whitelist.required to false.
• Many improvements to Palm Sync.
• IMAP IDLE support has been added.
• Support for "MSN Authentication" and Secure Password Authentication using SSPI NTLM auth for SMTP and POP3.
• A new preference to "always use the default character encoding for replies" rather than using the encoding of the message being replied to.
• Improvements to performance of downloading, viewing, and saving mail messages.
• Support for multiple identities on the same mail account. See the Multiple Identity Support documentation for more details.
• Support for relative paths for mail folders in prefs.js. This makes it easier to copy profiles around without having to fix up prefs.js afterwards.
• You can now edit address lists containing "Last, First" style names.
• When composing mail, you can now use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the To/Cc/Bcc list.
• On Mac OS X, attachment file names are no longer displayed in decomposed Unicode but are converted to composed Unicode.
• All Mozilla LDAP queries now default to using LDAPv3 (previously, they used LDAPv2). There is a hidden .protocolVersion preference which can force LDAP v2 to be used on a per-server basis. LDAP autoconfig authors can force v2 also by adding a setProtocolVersion call to their JS. Details can be found by grovelling through bug 198168.
Chatzilla
• Chatzilla now supports zooming of fonts with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + and Ctrl -), as well as with the View menu.
• Improved date handling; using the date/time format for the locale.
• Support for the /ignore command.
• The ability to change the font family and size.
• Working custom sounds on Windows and Linux.
• Improvements to the preferences panel and the user interface for half-op mode.
Under the Hood
• Size and performance have improved dramatically with this release. When compared to Mozilla 1.6, Mozilla 1.7 is 7% faster at startup, is 8% faster to open a window, has 9% faster page loading, and is 5% smaller in binary size.
• A long-standing bug with CSS backgrounds on table elements has been fixed (standards mode only).
• Support for Kerberos HTTP authentication using GSSAPI (benefits Unix-like platforms including Linux and OS X).
• Support for smb:// URLs using the gnome-vfs library (only enabled in GTK2+XFT Linux builds).
• Support for server push of XML documents using multipart/x-mixed-replace and XMLHttpRequest.
• Liveconnect now works when a Java applet's codebase is in a different domain.
• Very wide images (more than 4095px) will now display on Mac.
• Support for the CSS3 opacity property.
• Mozilla adds support for the onbeforeunload event. This lets web application developers add code that alerts the user about potential data-loss when closing a web application, or when leaving a HTML page with potentially sensitive information.
• This release has a new SVG backend. The feature is not yet enabled in the mozilla.org releases but developers may wish to compile with this feature enabled.
• Mozilla handles dynamic style changes much better (see bug 15608 for details.)
• Mozilla has upgraded the NSS libraries to version 3.9. NSS 3.9 passes all the NISCC SSL/TLS and S/MIME tests (1.6 million test cases of invalid input data) without crashes or memory leaks.
System requirements:
• Mac OS X 10.0 or higher

This only works on the English version of Safari. See the Product Page for info on what is going on under the hood.
