Firefox 1.5

Just when I didn’t need anything else to procrastinate with the Mozilla folks release Firefox 1.5. As usual I’ll break it in on my desktop at work which is a relatively low use machine before putting it on my laptop and other home machines.
The release notes are here and a comprehensive listing of new features and bug fixes is here.

Do You Care….

…that IE 7 will not run on Windows 2000 machines?

Microsoft has confirmed that it won’t release a version of its upcoming Internet Explorer 7 for Windows 2000, putting an end to speculation — some of it fueled by Microsoft — that the Redmond, Wash.-based developer would offer a more secure, revamped browser to users of that the aging-but-still-used operating system.

Well, no, I don’t care! Firefox runs just fine on the one W2000 machine we still have as well as on the XP SP2 machines we have.


Sitemeter – Firefox

Is anyone else having problems getting to Sitemeter using Firefox?
Today I regularly get a message starting with:

Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. ….

This was not occurring last night and I have not made any software changes and allow all cookies (what I do with them later is another story).
Access works fine via IE. Makes me wonder whether MS made a stealth purchase of Sitemeter….
