Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/007611.html
According to certain sources there will be a release later today (maybe this evening here due to time zone differences) of Firefox 1.1. This is mostly security updates and a couple of minor bug fixes as far as I know.
Keep your eyes peeled if you want the newest build when it releases ;)

Re: Firefox 1.1 Release
 

Okay it's not showing on the normal download page at the moment but from
http://feedhouse.mozillazine.org/
I've installed it over the top of 1.0 and all extensions are working here ;)
Edit:
It's now showing at http://www.mozilla.org/ too :)

Re: Firefox 1.1 Release
 

Thanks Paul I'll be upgrading tonight. :)

Re: Firefox 1.1 Release
 

thanks Paul,

I installed it and I was hoping that I would not loose anything, I haven't. All Themes and Extensions still work perfectly.

Re: Firefox 1.1 Release
 

thanks, but surely its firefox 1.0.1 and not 1.1 which has been delayed alot since staff moved to google

Re: Firefox 1.1 Release
 

Sorry, that's a typo on my part yesterday morning as I was just about to leave for work ;)

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

Thanks for the heads up. Im downloading the upgrade as we speak... (or type in my case)

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

I had an issue after installing, basically clicking in the URL bar to highlight and replace the existing URL in there caused Firefox to crash.

I renamed the Firefox directory to FireboxBAK and reinstalled.

Worked a treat and all my Plugins/Favourites and Bling theme ;) was still there.

I've deleted the BAK directory now.

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

I now have 2 installs showing in Add/Remove Programmes. ie. 1.0 and 1.0.1. Is it ok to get rid of 1.0 and still keep 1.0.1?

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

last time I did that it removed Firefox totally as the installations were in the same directory. Having said that you lose nothing by doing it if you then re-install back into that folder again as FF will pick up your extensions, settings etc again.

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

YAY! I can copy and paste from word

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

Hmm, not sure i would do that - chances are it could get messy and delete a some of your files.

I would just forget about it then next time when you goto upgrade use it.

Not sure if that will delete your Favourites etc either?

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

it does not delete your favourites, it deletes the whole firefox program, so doing this will not be a good idea, unless you want to re-install the browser again!.

p.s. I know cause I done it. :Yikes: :rolleyes: :erm: :dunce: :walk: :banghead: :knock: :sulk:

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

Does anyone know if there is going to be an opitmized moox build (or something similar)

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

I will have when I get home and build it ;)

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

The problem with multiple versions of FF is that, unlike IE etc, the downloaded "upgrade" is in fact a completely seperate program.

You should actually uninstall 1.0 and then install 1.0.1, your favourites etc should all be retained as they should not be removed as part of the uninstall process.

Personally, I think I will wait.
There are a number of "flaws" in the new version that haven't yet been sorted out, the 1.0 version has never given me any trouble.
If it ain't broke I aint gonna try and fix it!

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

erm am i being blind but i don't see any link on mozilla or in this thread to the update??

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

That's because it isn't an update.

You actually need to download and install a complete new version (1.0.1) - see my post above.

Probably worth reading through the mozilla site carefully though, some people there have had some choice comments to make :D

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

Cheers Raist

... thats pretty irksome tbh, even when ur downloading it says 1.0 exe, not quite what i would have expected... anyhoo downloadin now. Current experience up to now has been good the only thing i don't like is the different way it handles downloads, too much nannying, actually preferred the IE way.

Thanks again Raist

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

If it says 1.0 exe then you are probably downloading the wrong file :D

When I download from:

http://download.mozilla.org/?product...win&lang=en-US

I get the 1.0.1 exe

Good Luck! :D

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

1.0.1 has removed the bug that annoyed me the most

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

Which was..........?

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

copy and pasting from word into firefox (mac)

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

O. I C.

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

There's more advice about a uninstalling the previous version here...

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

thanks Mal - that also seems to clarify the earlier post that said the 'big green' download link still pointed to 1.0, it looks like the En - British build is still 1.0, while Raist's link points to the En - US build, which is 1.0.1 .

So, while I will probably wait for the British build to be available, does anyone know what the difference is?? :)

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

The full list.

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

yup you can get Suomi & Catalan in 1.0.1, but not English (British), I'm still intrigued to know what the difference is to English (English) - and I would prefer if that said English (US) , as well :erm:

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

See, now I'm embarassed for not checking first..... Hope you get it sorted though.....

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

it's not a problem, Raist, just a case of me being patient :) - I just assume that as my current 1.0 install is English (British), I should go for the same in the 1.0.1 version.

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

I've got the new optimized build from moox
http://www.moox.ws/tech/mozilla/

What difference does the British version give anyway?

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

thanks for that link - from looking at the instructions for installing a different language build, it looks like it is the profile that is affected the most.

i.e longhand for 'I have no idea' ;)

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

They are discussing the British build here :)

Plus it seems like they tried to do the update via the software update...

Re: Firefox 1.0.1 Release
 

thanks for that, Mal - you say potato & I say, er, potato :D
