# 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.

Mozilla and Linux

In the Linux case, deploying Mozilla goes hand-in-hand with deploying Linux desktops (or virtual desktops like X-Terminals, VNC or Sun Ray boxes). In this situation, Mozilla is an obvious choice as the premier browser and e-mailer. It has had extensive usability testing and has reliable maintenance releases and support. Be aware that it uses the Gtk toolkit for Linux graphics, not KDE's Qt. The theme system of Mozilla is very flexible and can be made transparent to the Gtk theme engine. In that case, it supports a standardised Gtk desktop theme.

Mozilla and applications

If you are considering application or tool development, then Mozilla is a new option to consider when seeking a useful platform. Mozilla should definitely be on your list for a closer look if extensive, object-oriented design (C++ or Java) seems like overkill, or you can see how W3C (XML) and IETF (RFC) standards would suit your project, or you have well-established Web skills in-house or if your project will have an extensive GUI.

If you have a mixture of platforms to look after, then Mozilla is also an obvious choice. The applications run the same across all platforms, and different incarnations of the platform itself guarantee standards support wherever they appear. That just makes life easier.
