Oh-Yeah! Mozilla 1.6 is finished!
Hey Everybody. Mozilla 1.6 is out and ready to download. In includes a whole bunch of improvement and as always the price is a clean $0.00.
It is availible for a plethora of OSes and computers and if you really want good karma you will make a small donation to the Mozilla Foundation. I am thinking about ordering a Mozilla T-Shirt.
The new release of Mozilla is better and faster. The user interface has been polished for improved usability. Many new features have also been added to enhance your Internet experience. The following is a list of major feature updates to Mozilla since version 1.5.
One of the most requested Mozilla Mail features, an option to separate the
Recipient and Sender columns in the thread pane, has been implemented.
Another frequently requested MailNews feature, a preference for placing the user's signature above the quoted text, has been added.
"Remove from server after x days" has been implemented for POP3 mail accounts.
vCard support has been added to Mozilla Mail.
Mozilla 1.6 includes a new cross-platform NTLM authentication mechanism. This feature brings NTLM authentication to the non-Windows Mozilla users for the first time and also delivers more robust and featureful NTLM support to users of older Windows versions.
Ask Jeeves searching has been added to Mozilla 1.6.
"Translate Page" functionality has returned to this release of Mozilla.
The View Source window now has reload functionality.
Several security-related bugs were fixed in 1.6.
Chatzilla 0.9.48 has been merged, which adds RPL_ISUPPORT support, halfop mode support, and properly masks key and password dialogs.
Many crash bugs have been fixed.
One step closer to the kitchen sink, about:about has been implemented. Typing about:about in the address field will give the user a nice list of available about:s.
I swear it just keeps getting better and better.

Gotta love the Mozilla. I use Firebird (based on the Mozilla engine) and the latest is extremely snappy. Getting sort of ugly for Explorer being so behind feature-wise:
Tabbed Browsing
Native pop-up blocking
Explorer is so behind the game.
