| 142453 | 2003-05-08 10:56:00 | Mozilla has released Version 1 . 4 Beta, but looks at this stage that there won't be a name change? See article from Neowin; After a heated war of words with a fellow open-source development group, Mozilla . org appears to be backing down on its use of the name "Firebird" for future releases of its browser . The dispute began last month when Mozilla . org, the browser-development group funded by AOL Time Warner, announced it would change the name of the Phoenix version of its browser to "Firebird," and the "Minotaur" mail client to "Thunderbird . " But the group now appears to have changed course, returning its marketing focus to the Mozilla name . "Use the names 'Mozilla Browser' and 'Mozilla Mail' to describe the Firebird and Thunderbird projects after the 1 . 4 release," reads a Mozilla branding policy published April 25, referring to the release slated for May 14 . "This branding should be found throughout the projects if possible instead of referring to the Firebird and Thunderbird names directly . Project names are transitory . " Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |

| 142454 | 2003-05-08 11:40:00 | Are there any interesting new features with 1 . 4b? All the new stuff I find useful is never mentioned in the release notes . Talking about future mozilla releases, I heard they are going to include some sort of activex support in future windows versions . . . Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it so late, I'll probably give moz users nightmares :-) . |

| 142456 | 2003-05-08 11:53:00 | argh activex noooooooooooooo :P Well the key thing I like with 1.4 is Smooth Scrolling. Very nice I find. Only one thing that I can see I'd like to be introduced and that would be a whitelist for cookies. Though I suppose I just haven't found out how to work it. |
