# Mozilla 1.7 size and performance have improved dramatically with this release. When compared to Mozilla 1.6, Mozilla 1.7 Beta is 7% faster at startup, is 8% faster at window open time, has 9% faster pageloading times, and is 5% smaller in binary size.
# A long-standing bug with CSS backgrounds on table elements has been fixed, including support for columns and proper layering (standards mode only).
# Support for Kerberos HTTP authentication using GSSAPI (benefits Unix-like platforms including Linux and OS X).
# Support for smb:// URLs using the gnome-vfs library (only enabled in GTK2+XFT Linux builds).
# Support for server push of XML documents using multipart/x-mixed-replace and XMLHttpRequest.
# Liveconnect now works when a Java applet's codebase is in a different domain.
# Very wide images (more than 4095px) will now display on Mac.
# Support for the CSS3 opacity property.

One question:
Does this release remove that box that shows up in Mozilla 1.6 everytime you double-click to enter the browser in Windows? Its really annoying, and just takes time.

Cool. I'm getting it now.

Dan.. if your talking about the splash screen.... no.

[DanGrease]

Yes, the splash screen. No? Can't believe they still have it. Don't see the reason why. Will stick with Firefox anyways.

That's one of the main reasons I went to it's sister, Firefox, because of that silly splash screen.

[Reboot]

If you have a Mozilla icon on your desktop then right click on it.

Look at Target.

Amend it to read as follows:

"C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" -nopopup -nosplash

It's just the -nopopup -nosplash that you are adding.

That should end the annoying little startup screen.

Hey, thanks Reboot!
I will give it a try, and see if it works.
Maybe I stay with Mozilla if I like it
