Mozilla readies Firefox 1.0 release

sounds good

 

Oh yeah!

 

I hope they "stop the presses?" because (IMO) this bug is embarrasing and annoying, to say the least: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250267 - if it were my project I would not let this get past RC.

 

Mine doesn't do that

 

I'm waitin' for them to release it....

 

Well, from the thread I have started, it's not just me. I noticed this at 1RC and has progressed with 2RC.

Well, this is exciting!!

I am still unsure if I should download OVER the old one? Or try to find my profiles and save them? This is always a problem for me, what should I save or not? My bookmarks are important to my research, what do you say?

Thank you in advance!

 

Lurkerella,

I would consider this a major update so I would do a complete uninstall (delete the program folder too).
Before you do though, here is the easiest way to backup.
Then you can install and restore just the bookmarks (maybe history and passwords).

 

There have been changes to the installer from the preview release to the final that allows you now to install on top with no problems. I did not hear of anyone having problems with it testing the nightly builds. It worked fine here ...

HTH ...

 

Problem is the download manager. This problem occurs when too full. There should be some sort of control or automatic clearing before this problem occurs - like outpost's log clearing.

I just uninstalled RC2 and installed the new version in the same directory. Worked like a charm.
Bookmarks, settings, passwords and all the rest was still there as before.

 

I just installed over an existing older version. And now I enjoy seeing the fox run

 

I installed 1.0 over top of RC2 and went smooth. Ready for the default browser position again.

 

Installed version 1.0 over 0.93, no probs. Only cookie culler not working yet.

 

So far so good.

No problem whatsoever.

Love it.

 

Hi, Pilli

You was meant to have posted that on the 5th, to set the bonfire alight.

Take Care,

Installed it early in the morning and all went well. Just deleted the firefox program file folder and then installed couldn't have worked slicker

I installed over the top of v.8 after disabling my extensions, as the installation instructions suggested. So far it is working fine, except for an error I get when I start Firefox (see attached screenshot). Anyone tell me what this might mean? It doesn't seem to be affecting anything - at least not so far.

Also, does anyone know if the Mozilla Googlebar is supposed to work with this version? I found what I thought was a v1.0 compatible one, which installed OK, except it installed TWO.

Thanks!

 

seakiwi, you should have uninstalled your old version of firefox before installing the new one.
For maximum software stability with firefox, I strongly recommend uninstalling older versions first before installing newer versions.

 

With respect, if that is the case why do the installation instructions specifically state that you should not have to uninstall previous versions, providing you disable all extensions before installing? I'm not doubting the wisdom of your suggestion at all - I almost did exactly that, but when I saw that the official installation instructions specifically stated it shouldn't be necessary, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. That'll teach me

OK, so if I uninstall completely now, how do I preserve my settings/bookmarks etc?

Thanks for your help ...
