deleted 1.0 from add/remove and installed 1.0.1 and it runs just fine. It kept all bookmarks and links.

Here's what's new

 

Same here, werid that it kept all my bookmarks,settings and extensions but nice as well.

 

all of that info is kept in a different folder than the one that add/remove deletes

 

O I see, good to know

 

O I see, good to know makes upgrading to new versions painless.

 

Installed right over top existing - no problems.!

 

Hi,

Just wondering ! Does it keep all your themes as well ?
I use Firefox exclusively now and I would hate to lose all my Bookmarks.
Is everyone SURE about these issues ?

Hard Rocker !!

 

HA.! Love it.
At risk of being a bore; Idiot proof again.
Worked for me straight off
Nearly overwhelmingly wonderful, the whole thing.
All credit to those who contributed from one very happy user.

 

I have FireFox 1.0 PR and 1.0 installed on my PC. I did not uninstall one when I installed the other. I noticed this the other day when I installed Java and Macromedia Flash and I was asked if I wanted to incorperate it with my FireFox browsers.

Should I delete the older versions or just leave them where they are? then I will install the latest version.

hi, Hard Rocker it should be OK. if you want to be 100% sure you can make a copy of the folder at C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Mozilla just right-click and pick copy and keep it somewhere safe. themes, extensions, bookmarks etc are kept there

EDIT you might have to enable seeing hidden files and folders to get to the folder first. press the windows key and E to bring up explorer then Tools>Folder Opitions>View>show hidden files and folders

 

I was going to suggest Mozbackup....but it's discontinued.

Looks as though you can still download it though.

 

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom.

Impressive. Definitely more stable on my system than the last version.

My extensions all stayed...(al 5 of 'em!)

 

I used the windows add/remove programs to uninstall FF.
Just before uninstall completed I got a window that said
"not all FF components were removed, do you want to remove all components"
I clicked yes. That could be the reason.

Thanks to all of you fine Creatures you answered all of my questions before I could post them. Mainly delete the old first and what about bookmarks? Will add first chance I get.

 

So do we still need the SpoofStick entension with this latest release of Firefox? Or does this version of FF fix the problem?

 

Tested the .ZIP version. No problem with the update. New version is a RAM hog! Also CPU load constantly hits 100% when processing multiple windows at the same time. When idle, the CPU load returns to 0%. This would explain why FF may be faster with a more powerful PC. I'm running a 600 MHz PIII with 384MB and W2K SP1/WXP Pro SP1. Firefox is not know for being an efficient user of CPU clock time, but 100% CPU load for a browser? The previous version tops out around 60 to 70% on my system.

May do a clean install and retest.

 

Trying it now, also has anyone heard anything about netscape 8 as i am interested in trying this too.

 

I dowloaded and installed without uninstalling v 1.0. It seemed to install over OK, but today when I checked I found that I had both listed in ADD/Remove of Control Panel.
Brilliant me, I removed version 1.0 and everything connected as I could find. Then I had no shortcut. I tried to find a way, but I think I some part of 1.1 was removed somehow.

I finally removed 1.0.1 reinstalled it and it is going great. I should have done as suggested and removed 1.0 before installing 1.0.1.

I was surprised that my bookmarks were still there.

Just another experience, and Firefox is the best browser out there in my opinion.
Thanks.
