The 'Image auto sizing allows a user to toggle between full-sized images and images sized to fit the browser window. ' is a feature in IE i've noticed recently. I dont really like it when it shrinks my pictures that im trying to view :)
Thanks for the headsup. Can't wait to check out their built in Spam filters!
They work well, with very few false positives, once you have trained them a little.
I now jump between Mozilla and Phoenix as the mood takes me.
Too bad "multiple" startpages isn't an option in this Mozilla like it is in Netscape.
Filtering requires some training - after feeding it with about 100 Spammessages I had already collected it is very accurate.
Further addons which might be interesting: enigmail (support pgp/gpg in mails), prefbar (quickaccess to some often needed features), UAbar (enter any useragent you like), RefSpoof (request a page with the referrer you want).
Already and ever working!
Simply open the tabs you want as startup-page,
go to Preferences -> Navigator,
"Use current groupt" - there you go.

I have some XHTML transitional pages with simple nested divs. The first div contains a "float left" div for thumbnails, and a "float right" div for text. This div is then closed and a second div opened beneath which contains only thumbnails.
These pages have always worked in IE, and with a few tweaks have been made to work in all modern browsers including Netscape 6.1, 6.2, and 7, Opera 5 and 6, and Mozilla 1.2.
And now I have just installed Mozilla 1.3 - and guess what? The divs on these pages break, and other pages give some very odd renderings. Needless to say the pages validate.
Does anyone else get strange effects with Mozilla 1.3?
There are a few other sites similarly affected - haven't got time to investigate why - but its a little strange.
t won't let me go to www.altavista.com
However, as HarryM reported, his site is not displayed as intended.
Looking at the code, might this be the problem?
<!-- start page-header-0 include -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">I know if I include a comment at the top in IE6 it knocks it down into Quirks Mode. The XML line also does, as the DOCTYPE must be on line one. This can break a layout! Perhaps Mozilla now also switches modes?

Unfortunately I have experienced very similar and strange problems with Phoenix 0.5 and Mozilla 1.3/Win.
Specifically, it seems like these browsers are ignoring "float:clear" and continuing to float subsequent DIVs, hence breaking the page layout :(
It's strange because in every other browser it renders fine, and it's 100% W3C valid of course.
If anyone else is experiencing these problems, I'd be very interested to know. I've created a thread in the CSS forum where I've attempted to explain the problem: [webmasterworld.com...]
[edit] I've found the source of my problems, and fixed it (see above thread). I don't think it's really a browser bug, though I'm surprised all the other browsers have tolerated my incorrect coding so far.

Even from 1.3b (not 1.3a) I've been getting some regression errors. For example, the old CNN layout bug is back again, not often but I've seen it at least once.
And the nasty caching/compression/whatever bug that displays garbage when clicking on some links and gifs where a page should be is back too.
But this is definitely a workaround to a bug. The div is inheriting a float attribute when it shouldn't be.
But I've still got other problems that I didn't have in Moz 1.2. Some of my rollover effects don't work as intended. And on the home page some links don't work at all.
What is it with browser development? One step forward and two steps back. :(
I have been emailed by someone (who I presume is not a member of Webmaster World) who maintains that Mozilla 1.3 is correctly rendering nested divs such as mine, and it is the other browsers that are buggy.
Quoting an example in his email:
div style="position: relative" id="one">
<div style="float:left; height: 100px" id="left" />
<div style="float:right; height: 100px" id="right" />
</div>
<div style="position: relative" id="two" />The _correct_ (per CSS) rendering of this is that the div with id="one" has a height of "0", the div with id="two" starts right where the one with id="one" ends, and the floats overlap it.
Mozilla prior to 1.0 would incorrectly make the div with id="one" 100px tall, based on its contents.
I maintain that div "one" encloses divs "left" and "right" and therefore it's height should expand to theirs.
Apart from Moz 1.3 all other browsers I have tested render it this way, although Opera has a couple of problems working out the heights.
Has anyone any views?
I can sticky mail the page to look at to see the incorrect rendering.
This is really a CSS issue, so I am raising it in that forum to get other opinions.
