I was doing just fine with RC1. The release notes says there’s tons of bug fixes, but I don’t see anything wrong.
Tabbed windows is nothing new, but I do like being able to open links in a new tab with my middle mouse button, not that my middle finger isn’t getting a good enough work out already 🙂
Tabs do open in the background (another neat feature) but opening links in a new tab using my middle button – the scroll wheel – doesn’t work in OSX.
there was a security fix between rc1 and rc2, iirc. it has been only 13 days since the rc2 release. the next release will probably be 1.0, or, at least I hope it is. i doubt i’ll post a beos build for this one.
Darn, I just installed RC2… lol
can’t see many changes.. chatzilla fells a little better. go mozilla!
The little annoying bar thing to the left of the screen is blank and won’t close! This is very odd.

this is annoying. Other than that RC3 is very nice.
I’m looking forward to the BeOS version.

Don’t see it
is there a option under the view that you can select?
hey, do you have to redownload the whole thing, or can you update?

look at the screenshot, it’s that blue thing to the left. It where all the tabs with stuff like aim and bookmarks go…
none of the options seem to remove it…
I just downloaded RC2 for BeOS, and while it’s still buggy, there do seem to be some improvements. RC2 is finally faster than previous releases on my system!
Yeah, it’s great to see how well it’s progressing!
Still you can’t rightclick the links in PTF to open them in a new tab. Sigh.
I’d say less buggy and 25 % more stable: crashes now on the 4th click instead of the third.
“can’t see many changes …”
What’s better, bugfixes or new features?
I think bugfixes (some m$ employees might think different ..
Your link isn’t working for me but I *think* I know what you’re talking about.
Go to View->Show/Hide/->SideBar
Or just press F9.
I can’t stand that sidebar thing myself.
I still think the thing is far to big, far too slow and far too proprietary (and inconsistent and generally stinky) in the UI area. Yet, I am stuck with it as the only up-to-date nearly-compliant browser for BeOS. I do not like it at all.
