Digging Mozilla

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I downloaded Mozilla 1.2 Beta last night and there are two new features that are rocking my world right now. First the pop-up manager actually solves the problem I was having with surfing blogs and opening comment windows by letting me specify which sites are not allowed to do pop-ups, and leaving the pop-up comment windows alone.

Secondly, giving you the option to setup a group of tabbed pages as your homepage is very cool. Now I can go ahead and open 3-4 pages right from the start, that saves some clicks. Always a good thing!

Blogger even seems to work with the new version, so it’s very close to becoming the only browser I need to surf with. I’ll have to test it some more before I make that determination, but it’s got a shot!

Speaking of new versions, AmphetaDesk v0.93.1 is Now Available. Some minor fixes, some security improvements, etc. Read more on their site.

    I’ve mentioned a few times how easy it is for your privacy to be breached when using public wifi, especially on airplanes, or using the computer in the hotel business center, etc. Yet, for frequent business travelers, sometimes these things are kind of required.
