Firefox 1.0 Anybody?

[g220]

Has anybody moved up to v1.0 or intending to? I was thinking about it but I want to first be certain the extensions are going to behave gracefully.

I have not done it cause I think you have to delete your previous version and dont want to lose all my bookmarks and settings.

 

[natters]

I'm running it right now, seems great, no problems so far, except it didn't like my current theme so I had to revert back to the default one. My extensions, bookmarks, etc. all carried over fine.

 

[NaasPreacher (C4K)]

Did you upgrade from 0.9.1 without unistalling 0.9.1?

 

[natters]

Yes, from 0.9.1. No uninstall was needed, it installed right over top.

 

[Trotter]

One minor problem...v1.0 does not support the BBCode extension. Not yet, at least.

[natters]

I'm using BBCode right now in v1.0. I don't know why it's not working for you. I had it installed in 0.9.1 and it was still there and working when I upgraded.

 

[Trotter]

I don't know either, Natters. But it ain't.

When I installed it, it told me that it was unsupported. Trust me, I have tried to use it since, but it just ain't there.

In Christ,
Trotter

 

[g220]

Trotter, did you right-click on the extension in the extension manager and "enable" the BBCode extension? I seem to recall having to do that when I moved up to 0.9.3.

OK, I just went ahead and moved up. I too am experiencing some extension that are not compatable. The ones I would miss most are All-In-One-Gesture and UndoCloseTab. Hopefully they will catch up shortly. Oh Trotter, the BBCode extension is working fine after the upgrade... some things just make you go hmmm...

 

[Trotter]

G220,

I just tried to enable it, but it is greyed out. Oh, well.

I also tried to update, but it said that there not any updates.

I guess I'll live, but I will miss it until I can get it for v1.0.

In Christ,
Trotter

I just tried out FireFox 1.0, and I really like it.

I still have IE 6.0, and one of the extensions in FireFox lets you switch browsers. I like that!

My only gripe is that I like Yahoo companion (and there is an upcoming one for Firefox), but I cannot install it at the moment....that's why I am still using IE for the Yahoo companion. I guess I will have to wait on FireFox to complete their project on the Yahoo companion compatable for FireFox.

I love firefox, had 9.3 uninstalled it and installed 1.0. Everything I had carried over with it. Extensions, bookmarks, cookies etc..
I was reading on the FF forums that loading 1.0 without uninstalling the previous version is a HUGE mistake.

I decided to download Firefox after hearing so many good things about it. I use Netscape 7.2 right now and am satisfied with it. When I ran the downl;oaded file "Firefox Setup 1.0PR.exe" it came up with a setup program for "Netscape 7.2". Is Firefox merely the browser portion of the Netscape Suite of programs or a different program altogether?

 

[Stratiotes]

I'm a Firefox-phile as well. Have been since version 0.5 or so I think.

 

[Trotter]

Artimaeus,

Don't quote me, but I do believe that i read that Netscape grew out off the early work of the Mozilla project. Firefox is just the latest offspring.

In Christ,

Trotter,
Thanks, I knew there was a lot of history there but , it just kinda confused me when I ran "Firefox Setup" and it came up "Netscape 7.2".
