Guest Cyclops Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Hmmm... version 0.3 was due out yesterday and I was really looking forward to trying it, but it's a no go. Wonder what happened? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 I use Mozilla myself and like it, but my understading is that it intended mainly for developers while Pheonix, Galeon, Netscape...etc. are targetted at end users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Who says mozilla/phoenix does no Flash?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cyclops Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Phoenix version 0.3 is due out any time now. They've already posted about it in the release notes: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/ph...ease-notes.html I'm using the latest nightly build and it's getting better all the time. Some are saying that the flash plugin doesn't work for them but it works fine for me. Just copied them directly into the Phoenix 'plugins' directory and all is swell. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Phoenix is indeed very fast. But I like a "suite" like Mozilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cyclops Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hey guys & gals, Mozilla.org released Phoenix 0.3 last night and it is getting better all the time. It already renders pages much more smoothly than does Mozilla, in my opinion. Once all the bells and whistles, and user preferences are incorporated into it, this will be a tough browser to beat. 8) Wonder what the Thunderbird email client that is intended to go with it will be like?

Guest frew Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Wouldn't all the bells and whistles be a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 qeldroma, how did you get flash to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cyclops Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Spiedra, I can't speak for geldroma, but flash works fine for me, too - and all I did was copy the plugins directly into the 'plugins' directory that's located in the main Phoenix folder. If I remember correctly, it worked in the last version, too. Hope this helps... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Thanks Cyclops, that did just the trick. Even got real player embeded in Phoenix to. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 The /plugins things are ALWAYS the same as under Netscape6/Mozilla, because they all take the same rendering engine gecko. And that's the one to handle the plugins. So everything you install under Mozilla should do his job as simple under Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 When I rt click a link, sometimes the menu opens like an inch to the left and down. Anyone else have this. No big deal, but the old didn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 For those having trouble with flash/java in phoenix, I installed texstars phoenix.rpm and not only does flash and java work after install but it seems a little smoother/faster. ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distribut...ndrake/9.0/rpms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cyclops Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Version 0.4 was scheduled out yesterday, but that didn't happen for whatever reason. Anyway, I downloaded the latest night build to see what it's looking like, and some parts of the browser are taking on a bit of 'Galeon look', which surprised me a bit. The favicon bug seems to be fixed, and it's more stable than before (at least it is for me). As for web browsing, Phoenix continues to work much better for me than does Mozilla. Anyone heard what the hold up on version 0.4 might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
