Firefox 1.0.3

Updated FF release if you want it
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

What's New 1.0.3

Firefox 1.0.3 is a security update that is part of our ongoing program to provide a safe Internet experience for our customers. We recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version.

Here's what's new in Firefox 1.0.3:

* Several security fixes.
* Fix to improve update process.

__________________

BTW I found I had to re-load extensions after installing the new version but supposedly this is the best way to install the new version

Quote:

1. Download Firefox 1.0.3

2. Uninstall any previous version(s) of Firefox. In Windows use the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
[For ZIP builds -- Delete the folder where firefox.exe runs from and also follow the steps below.]

3. Create a backup of your Profile. You can simply copy everything to another folder on your hard drive (and this gives Firefox the ability to retrieve your prior settings, bookmarks, etc).

4. Delete your existing profile. This link provides methods for locating your profile systems among the many operating systems Firefox supports. Delete all profile folders.

5. Install Firefox 1.0.3 with as little as possible running on your PC. You can reboot your PC so you have a fresh start and don't start any other work until you Install 1.0.3 successfully.

6. Before you open firefox, copy key settings back from your prior profiles. From your Backup Profile folder (created in step #3), copy over bookmarks.html, cookies.txt, hostperm.1, key3.db, signon.txt, formhistory.dat and user.js from your backup to your newly created profile.

How to upgrade from versions 1.0 1.0.1 or 1.0.2

1. Download Firefox 1.0.3

2. Recommended but not required: Back up your profile.

3. Install Firefox.

Not sure, Paul's gone out and he's not updated my pc (yet!) so I can't check for you - no doubt he'll let us know later!

I would think so, this was just a security update.

Hmm, both 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 are on the FF site to download, and FF update doesn't announce there's an update. I'm leaving it a few days.

The extensions that didn't work after the update were ok once I went back to the extensions site and installed them all again.

Re: Firefox 1.0.3

I'm running the English (British) version no 1.0.2

If I go to http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/start/, it says

Quote:

Firefox 1.0.3 Now available for Download!

* Easy upgrade from previous versions
* Tabbed browsing improvements
* More secure with several security fixes
* Available in many different languages

Free Download
Firefox 1.0.2 for Windows, English (British) (4.7MB)
Free Download
Firefox 1.0.3 for Windows, English (4.7MB)

So the main English language version is now at 1.0.3, but the localised British version is still 1.0.2

None because i'm too afraid to upgrade anymore :) After the first switch to 1.0 full I managed to get some working. One of my favs is "Down The All" but that is still showing as 1.0 preview. I have got it working on 1.0 full, but I cant remember how. I think I installed the plugin and swapped the exe. I wish they'd do away with the bloody version. Its hard for programmers to keep updating their plugins for new version numbers.

Actually checking some of my plugins, they are down compatible for versions 1.0+... does that mean they are compatible for all future 1.x without having to update the plugins?

What's the biz apart from a few misspellings and z's instead of s's in past participles?

That's all it is, just things are spelt the British way, not the American way, in the menus. Have a look here.

Much as I detest "Americanizms" [sic] having run American software for eons you kinda get used to having to put up with them on the computer so it doesn't bother me.

Besides, i'd rather get the security update, than be insecure for a few different spellings of words.

Microsoft SQL Server does my head in with it's date syntax.
It will usually only accept the US date format for a datetime field no matter what the actual server is set at.

Went and installed the extension at the link you gave, and it works fine, so no problems with that as far as I can see.

I'm still waiting a reply to my question too ;) Wonder when the next release is, I know they were "Previewing" the next version and that 1.1 is due soon supposedly. Maybe they will sort it out in that release.
