Mozilla Firefox 0.9 releasedMozilla Firefox 0.9 releasedPosted Jun 15, 2004 18:23 UTC (Tue) by rsidd (subscriber, #2582)In reply to: Mozilla Firefox 0.9 released by pointwood Parent article: Mozilla Firefox 0.9 released If you want the Qute theme installed, you can install it from here: http://quadrone.org/graphics/ Well, that site redirects me to update.mozilla.org... but well, it seems to be working now, though rather slow.

Mozilla Firefox 0.9 released Posted Jun 15, 2004 18:28 UTC (Tue) by rsidd (subscriber, #2582) [Link] And it looks ugly... why are the icons so big? Firefox 0.8 looked good, they've somewhat undone that now

Mozilla Firefox 0.9 released Posted Jun 16, 2004 2:56 UTC (Wed) by rsidd (subscriber, #2582) [Link] It amazes me how quickly people seem to forget that this is free software.Your point being? The Mozilla folks aren't trying to be some hobbyist system like lynx or OpenBSD. They're trying to compete with Microsoft. I don't see a notice on their page "If you don't like something, you have the source, fix it yourself." (In fact, I don't see that on lynx's or openbsd's pages, either.)
Mozilla Firefox 0.9 released Posted Jun 16, 2004 5:27 UTC (Wed) by darthmdh (guest, #8032) [Link] Extremely poor troll there. I'll ignore the pointless ones ("hobbyist system", "compete with Microsoft") and concentrate solely on this: I don't see a notice on their page "If you don't like something, you have the source, fix it yourself." That's because it's implicit with the definition of Open Source software. Mugs don't come with notices saying "grip handle and lift to mouth, tip slightly to enjoy beverage" because most people realise they were given a brain in order to use it, and do so. Drastic measures were taken with 0.9 to ensure that the entire Firefox release remains completely open source, including the removal of the proprietary Qute theme. I look forward to *stripe improving in due course, just like Qute originally looked pretty darn crappy too.

How the distributors do it is a mystery, I bet they have to get special permission from the Mozilla Foundation. If that's Free Software then that definition must be changed.
