Software update: Mozilla 1.3b

Version 1.3b of Mozilla was recently released. New in this release include the image resizer and the autocomplete. The release notes leave the following changes:

New in 1.3 Beta are improvements to the Mozilla junk-mail controls for automatic filtering of spam, an editable about:config page for tweaking just about every pref that Mozilla offers, image auto-sizing, dynamic profile switching and more. The latest release can be downloaded from the Mozilla Releases page and more on what’s new can be found at the release notes. This release also marks the end of the Mac OS X CFM builds which have been replaced by the new Mach-O builds.

• Image auto sizing allows a user to toggle between full-sized images and images sized to fit the browser window. To give it a try, load a large image into the browser window or size the window to be much smaller. Now clicking on the image will alternate between auto-sized and full-sized.
• Mozilla Mail’s junk-mail classification is mostly complete. Users can now automatically move junk mail to a spam folder.
• Users can now “dynamically” switch profiles. To give it a try, from the tools menu select “Switch Profile…”
• Find as you type, formerly known as type ahead find, has a new preferences panel (Advanced: Keyboard Navigation).
• When installed, Chatzilla now has a normal Mozilla preferences panel.
• about:config, the listing of most of Mozilla’s preference settings is now editable. Power users can now tweak just about every pref available without opening prefs.js in a text editor. Warning: tweaking some of these prefs may break Mozilla completely. Use at your own risk.
• This release of Mozilla marks the kickoff of a research project to apply machine learning to improve the browser’s autocomplete feature. The project’s first phase needs as many Mozilla users as possible to participate in collecting data. All you need to do is turn on a pref, use this build for daily browsing for a couple of weeks, zip up a data file on your local drive, and submit it online. Please read for more details
