A handy sidebar toggle button was also added, and the Composer and Address Book buttons on the component bar switched positions.Ĭuriously, Netscape began to omit Windows 95 from its system requirements list with this software release even though it ran perfectly on that OS (as witnessed here), and the pop-up blocker feature implemented in Mozilla earlier was not added to Netscape until version 7.01. The innovative tabbed-browsing feature was emphasized in comparison to the preview release, with the tab bar made visible by default and a close-tab button added. Perhaps most noticeably, a new round Netscape logo (shown in icon form at right) was adopted, replacing the square version introduced back in early 1995.
Just as notably, the final release of Netscape 7.0 was released two months after derived from Mozilla 1.0.1 and boasting a set of further refinements. Mozilla 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 bug-fix updates were released concurrently at the time when Mozilla 1.1 and later versions were implementing more daring changes. This software release also marked a change in the way the software was developed and maintained, with 1.0.x serving as a "stable" development branch (largely to maintain Netscape 7.0x, which used Mozilla 1.0.x as a basis). Otherwise there were few noticeable changes, with the last feature development having instead taken place with the 0.9.x releases. The menu bar had been shuffled around from version 0.9.9, with the "Search," "Tasks," "Debug," and "QA" menus removed and "Tools" and "Window" menus added in their place. On June 5, 2002, the long-awaited 1.0 version of Mozilla was finally released. Stability continued to improve to a level better than ever before, despite ostensibly being a beta software release.

A Visual Browser History, from Netscape 4 to Mozilla Firefox Part 3: Mozilla 1.0-1.7.x, Netscape 7.x, and SeaMonkey (2002-)Īfter several 6.x releases ranging from negative to lukewarm in their reception, Netscape began to up the ante by unveiling a preview release for Netscape 7.0 (derived from a release candidate for Mozilla 1.0) in May 2002.Īlthough similar to Netscape 6.x in many ways, Netscape 7.0 PR1 contained a large number of additional features and other improvements that had primarily surfaced in Mozilla 0.9.x within the last year: Tabbed browsing, site-icon support, a download manager, full-screen mode, a print preview tool, a built-in update notification feature replacing the previous SmartUpdate tool, and the onetime-entertaining diversion of Netscape Radio to name a few.Ī "Mail" button was added to the Personal Toolbar while "Shop" was removed and the "Net2Phone" link gained a custom icon.
