Mozilla Deer Park Alpha 1 released

[Posted June 1, 2005 by corbet]

The Mozilla Project has made Deer Park Alpha 1 available. This is an early alpha release of what will eventually be Firefox 1.1. New features include a "sanitize" operation (which quickly removes personal information), image thumbnails in tab icons, the "fast back" page caching capability, better cookie management, and more.

Deer park, that's good software...

Dear Park Spring Water?

Was this some sort of reference to Deer Park Water? (Warning, noisy flash!)

Personally, though I think the "sanitize" option sounds nice, I prefer to set my Internet lounge kiosks up with a script that wipes the entire guest home directory tree, generating a fresh one (a la /etc/skel) and then restarts the kiosk X session. (That's all done with a respawn su -... directive in /etc/inittab). That way the user can simply logout or hit [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace]).

I've already downloaded it and installed it on my Windows XP box. It loads pages faster than Firefox 1.0.4. And except for some extensions (AdBlock most notably) not being detected nor working, this Alpha software runs very well. I recommend it for any bleeding edgers out there. I'm sure Mozilla & Co would appreciate as much feedback as possible.

Been using it most of the evening, hasn't crashed yet.

The fast forward/back positively ROCKS! Glad to see SVG finally making it in a default build, bout time!

I'm wondering if any demo sites have been set up to demonstrate the new CSS and other webdev functionality?
