Mozilla.org released their browser version 1.2.1 (after discovering some big DHTML bugs in, released few days ago, version 1.2). There's no official release for BeOS yet, but... there's a new nightly build up there! :) It's the first nightly update for BeOS in over a month. Get it while it's hot!

For those of you who don't know mozilla yet: it's the best browser for BeOS right now (there's Phoenix getting close, but it's still based on mozilla) in sense of compatibility with latest web standards (HTML 4.0.1, CSS 1 and 2, DHTML, JavaScript...). It's much bigger and slower than NetPositive, but you can view every page with it.

I use mozilla with some favourite addons/changes for it:

• Gestures addon - If you have used Opera 5+ (not on BeOS), you've probably used gestures too. I love it. It was main (and only one, maybe except ideological ;) reason i used Opera. Than i found addon for mozilla giving the same functionality and i could jump to 100% mozilla only wagon. And it works in BeOS too (just change miliseconds to much longer time period).
• Themes - I know that modern theme is really fine, but sometimes i need change. So i use Orbit (but it isn't updated for newest mozilla which had some change in themes support - it doesn't work with 1.2x) and Breeze along with default themes.
• Shortcuts - If you have changed shortcut key to CTRL, you would like to make mozilla know it (for now mozilla can't read this setting itself). There is a FAQ on BeZilla.org which explains how to do that. I'll copy it here for you this time:
  
  
  "To change the default accelerator key:
  
  Open up the prefs.js file in your $HOME/config/settings/Mozilla/default/{profilename} directory.
  Add these lines to the file:
  user_pref("ui.key.accelKey", 18);
  user_pref("ui.key.menuAccessKey", 17);
  This will make the Alt key the accelerator and the Ctrl key the menu access key."
  
  Edit prefs.js when mozilla is NOT running, because mozilla saves this file after each quit (and will overwrite any changes made to it after mozilla's startup).
  
  Update: Mike Carlson pointed out that you can create user.js (in the same directory as prefs.js - $HOME/config/settings/Mozilla/default/{profilename}) file and put settings there. Mozilla never alters that file so you can modify it at any time (but to use new settings you have to restart mozilla of course).
• Flash plugin - If you have Flash Player you can use it for playing flash movies on web pages. Just make link to Flash Player binary in mozilla/plugins folder (name of the link doesn't matter, you can call it as you want :)
