Hi,
I was wondering if I did something wrong or if it's just not possible to access hotmail mail accounts with the newer Firefox builds.
It used to work with a much older version, but I think I reinstalled Zeta sometime inbetween.
Thanks for the browser port so far, it is getting better and better :-)
Have a nice day,
Kossi

Yowie! I got it to work, and I"m impressed by the speed improvements. I still miss the drag and drop in Managing Bookmarks, and the File Bookmarks feature, but otherwise, this thing is really rolling along.
But I still also want the SeaMonkey Suite for e-mail, newsgroups, and web page composing.

The 1.6a1 was built with higher optimizations.

This is a beta release on another branch, that is not. Enough said.
So far these recent builds have really pleased me - and it's not long until we finally have a non-beta release version!
Give it some time, vsucks, it's merely coincidence that the recent spurt of patches met with the 1.5b cycle.
(and the Bezilla had something to aim at)

Please note that it's not marked as a stable release. The release description clearly states that it is a supported testing release. And sure, of course we start with beta supported testing releases...

The first stable release in a few odd years is a BETA.
It would seem that FF is more mature on other platforms; what's a beta on Windows is release-quality for us.

BONE is netserver-compatible, for the most part. Some things screw up on Dan0/R5-Bone, though. Things will be slower, obviously. Has anyone tried this under R5?

Well, just for interests sake, this 1.5b2 is working on BONE. If it did not, I couldnt write this!
btw - it is way slower than 1.6a1, in everything.

This is a net_server build, which means it will (or should) work on all BeOS compatible systems.

I can't answer for this app, it's old and of poor quality. If you use the Firefox here: http://www.bebits.com/app/2715 and you mean having several tabs then yes it does..
The only things not done yet is proper drag'n'drop, printing and better integration with the Desktop.

Do as suggested below and try a build from the "bleeding edge" page. Post in the talkback there if you still have the same problem.

I'm running Firefox 0.8 on a 900 Mhz Celeron with 768 MB of RAM. Firefox looks great, and renders pages correctly. However, I experience a fairly regular problem in that, sometimes when opening a page, Firefox will simply lock up, and the left-hand resource meter in the lower right corner of the screen will max out, and stay that way. When this happens, I can't navigate away from the current page. I can close the Firefox icon in the deskbar by using the "Vulcan Death Grip", but the window on the screen will NOT go away.
When this happens, the only way I've found to proceed is to press the reset button and reboot. Its frustrating, as otherwise, Firefox seems to work well.
I don't recall ever experiencing this problem with NetPositive.

This entry is not really the best release of Firefox for BeOS - it misses some patches that were being worked on at the time of it's release.
You can follow all the action on the BeOS ports of mozilla and firefox on the livejournal blog:
www.livejournal.com/communities/bezilla
You can also find the latest builds of firefox and mozilla on this bebits entry:
http://www.bebits.com/app/2715
There are some nice improvements going on recently in the port - the next builds available at the link above should be better than ever.
ps: There is very little difference in rendering speed between firefox and mozilla - firefox will probably start up a bit quicker though.

Bezilla was in bad need of a rebuild. Firefox is the perfect answer. I've been a devoted firefox (aka firebird and phoenix) user on the window$ platform since its early development stages. I'd been searching around for a better browser for Be. Net Positive is kind of slow, same problem with Bezilla, and I could never convince myself to pay for Opera to try it out. I had checked the firefox homepage for a Be ported version and found none on mozilla.org; so I was delighted to stumble across, quite by accident, this version on Bebits. It works great. The extensions seem pretty fully functional. Its a little glitchy, especially on pages with lots of images, but still head and shoulders above the competition. Thank you so much to whoever ported firefox to Be. Excellent work!

If you click the download.php link it should ask you to save a file but instead it just opens it in the browser window. There's no way to save that link in BeOS as far as I can tell because Net+ does the same thing.

The FireFox 0.8 build available for Windows is broken big time too so the problems of the BeOS build are not necessarily BeOS specific. Remember, it is a technology preview.

Usually when someone writes a patch that really improves things, some straight CVS builds get made fairly quickly (thanks franxico and others). These are then posted to the Gecko familiy page. What that means is that gecko on BeOS doesn't follow the official release schedule, but that the builds available on the Gecko family page are always the best ones available.
Maybe the best thing to do is continue making builds but include all the patches (watch the blog, I'll try and get a list of what people are applying at the moment) - then we can link to them on the Gecko page, and remove this one.
That would mean there is only one source for the best Firefox/Mozilla releases available on BeOS.

I hve this for Winblows and BeOS. And it loads up a lot slower in Be than in Winblows. Also it loads up pages heck of a lot slower too, but maybe that's just BeOS. Not sure, I've not had it instlled for a while...

Hey hey hey.
I'm still here, although as usual I've been busy with numerous things, some real life and some BeOS related. I've been following the BeZilla community on LiveJournal (added it as a friend on my account), and I have to agree -- BeZilla is really pumping out code far faster and more efficiently than it ever has before, at least for as long as I've been following it. Sadly, the LiveJournal just /seems/ (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't loaded it up in a few days) to link to random bugfixes and BugZilla entries -- far too many for me to find and apply to the mozilla sources on my PC. If someone can get me a listing of all the patches which are currently being worked on and show a notable improvement in BeZilla performance, please do so. I'd be sure to either replace the current Firefox build with it or add a new entry in the Firefox BeBits application listing.

I agree that it is a little confusing to have this build here, when there are much improved builds available on the other page.
However, FireFox 0.8 was officially released so this is in a sense an "official" FireFox 0.8 release. The problem on BeOS is that our bugs and patches don't fall on the milestones, so people will actually get a better browser using a patched-up late 0.7-series build than this official 0.8 build.

I do think that at moment this entry here has only purpose - to confuse novices. And to compromise idea of Gecko-based browsers for BeOS.
(Or is it YT "production"?)
Elliot did big deal when compiled Firebird first, but since then he was too VIP and busy to collaborate with Paul or me.
I had hope things will change, as he joined BeZilla blog, but no:(

As it's seems to be a straight CVS-build I wouldn't recommend anyone to use it. Quit, bookmarks and many other things are broken if built from CVS.
Take a look at http://www.bebits.com/app/2715 if you want more up to date builds.

But I dont mind, because im sure some Programmer will love this app and will help to solve this problem soon. I think they look for an xml Programmer since it is an xml problem?

Shucks. I like the new name and logo (which it doesn't come with yet... ;) ), but it's still got that bookmark crashing bug. And it doesn't like it when I do certain things with 27 tabs open, either. :| (I wish it would remember what was open like Opera does... some day. :) )

Wow! Firebird is impressive. Much better than Bezilla and that crappy version of Opera! Big Kudos to the people who developed this port!!!!
I'm usually in Windows most of the time, but occasionally I get so frustrated I jump back to the ultra smooth running BEOS.
Apps are the key...either that or something where you could run necessary Windows apps close to real time. Then I'd wouldn't have to be stuck in that Windows OS environment from hell.
BEOS runs circles around Windows. I hate when my Windows ME machine bogs down while I'm trying to play music & surf the web.
