Last tuesday, Mozilla Corporation pulled the curtain off Firefox 1.5. Of course I was among the 2 million users who downloaded it on the first day. I love it just like the previous versions, mainly because of the following reasons:
- It’s not from Redmond
- It’s getting closer to standards compliance
- It’s extensible
- It’s a kick ass browser
Since there is still the issue that some extensions haven’t been updated yet, I’ll soon post a list of the extensions I use, which work with version 1.5.
On the same day Mozilla also opened the doors to Firefox’s and Thunderbird’s new home.
On saturday Tantek Çelik published his current thoughts on the topic that first brought him to my attention many moons ago: CSS hacks, especially his world-famous Box Model Hack and High Pass Filter. In his blog entry “Pandora’s Box (Model) of CSS Hacks And Other Good Intentions” which has been cross posted on webstandards.org, Tantek writes about the history of CSS hacks and emphasizes the current state of the art. A definite must-read of the “CSS Hackmeister”.
