The next version of the popular open-source Firefox will likely show up in June of 2005, not March as earlier expected, the browser's lead engineer wrote this weekend in his blog.
"In a move that I would hope should surprise exactly nobody, we're pushing back 1.1 by a little bit because of the realities of the work remaining to be done," wrote Ben Goodger.
The updated road map for Firefox 1.1 noted that beta should ship in early April, with a final edition to follow in June. The next major revision, dubbed 2.0, is still on track for release sometime during 2005, according to the road map.
Goodger, who last week announced that he had been hired by Google -- but will continue working on Firefox at least part time -- denied that the change in employers caused the delay.
"The slippage from March is not due to my move to Google, it is due to us needing to ensure the 1.1 release is of identical quality and scope as the 1.0 release," he wrote. "That means a period of testing, the localization system needs to be brought back online, etc. These things are done by more people than just myself, so quit with the wacky speculation."
I tried downloading Nvu, but it wouldn't download for me.
That would require an Email program imbedded in it, which would take it back to mozilla...
I've never had that problem. Is Firefox set as your default browser? I'm just guessing, hoping for an easy solution.
Yes, Firefox is set as my default browser. I've tried changing different settings and nothing works. The printer works fine with Netscape and IE.
The Mac version remembers scrolling position.
Does print preview work?

Hmm. Maybe try a few different things:
1. Make sure you have a valid temp directory and the drive it's on has free space.
2. Set up the printer to print to a file and see if that changes the behavior from FF.
3. Install the HP Laserjet II driver, make it the default and try to print again.
4. Try changing your video resolution down and with fewer colors.
Most are not possible solutions but may help narrow down the problem.
