Firefox 1.0 Coming (some missing features)

Looks like Mozilla Firefox will be hitting 1.0 really soon. In preparation, some of the really great features are being removed for instability and or support reasons. They will no doubt be added back later, but there is one in particular that I will sorely miss. The alternate stylesheet tool, allows you to switch between alternate stylesheets for websites that offer multiples. It seems to work well for me, but a discussion in the developers bugtracking software lead to its removal from the nightly builds. Fortunately, someone has already stepped in to offer an enhancement to his style sheet chooser extension to offer similar functionality. It won't be handled as a graphical element in the bottom left corner of the browser, but I am sure someone else will do that at some point as well. According to the dicsussion the goal would be to add back the functionality in 1.5. The other element that many notebook users enjoy, is offline browsing. This feature allows you to save websites for offline viewing. Apparently there are some issues with it, and it has been removed for 1.0 as well. While these are unfortunate, I am very excited about Firefox hitting 1.0. I have been very pleased to see its progress as I have used it over the last 8 months or so. It is lean and fast, and has some very compelling innovative features. Thunderbird, the mail client, is coming along nicely as well. Recent versions seem more stable. Recently I have switched to it from Evolution, after getting frustrated with a few bugs (hangs etc) and feature deficiencies (SSL LDAP support). So far the only thing I miss is the shortcut bar, to make it easy to switch between inboxes, or important imap folders.
