Toydi Learns To Web

Thanks to Enrii’s “first-hand” news, I managed to get the latest release of firefox 1.5 this morning.

After the new firefox installed, I immediately launched it to try get its “first taste”. As an online reader (who just use browser for reading), at a first glance, I couldn’t even notice any changes in my new firefox. But a few clicking around, ahah, I managed to point out some differences:

New Tools > “Options..”

A new layout (but rather formal-looking) for Options dialog box. Honestly, I miss its previous fancy-looking appearance.

New Tools > “Clear Private Data.. (Ctrl+Shift+Del)”

Ah, here’s a quick shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Del) to clean up browsing information (e.g history, saved forms & passwords, cookies, cache and even authenticated session) in a single click.

New Help > “Check for Updates…“

Another “just a single click” new function for users to check updates for firefox itself and all the extensions,themes and search engines updates.

Missing A Monkey..

Greasemonkey 0.5.3 is not working anymore in Firefox 1.5 and has been automatically disabled. However, I managed to google the fix just five minutes ago: Greasemonkey 0.6.4!

CSS Error Error Error..

I never notice previous Firefox 1.0.7 will display CSS parsing errors in its Javascript Console window, but well, we have that now in Firefox 1.5.
Guess what I found in Google’s stylesheet:

h3{font-weight:normal;font-size=100%}

Opps! Who’s the careless programmer? Ah.. don’t forget to use ‘:’ instead.

After all, not much “woah” in the new Firefox 1.5 from an online reader’s POV. However, for web developers, Firefox 1.5 is surely bringing along some excitements (here’s a brief) and for themes/extensions/monkey’s userscript geeks, well, you have start your debugging sessions once again.
