Firefox 1.0.6

We seem to have a US-En update out for FF. Think it's just security updates though.

Can't remember how long it took last time but I think it was within a week of the ENG-US version releasing.

I think with the last two releases, it was about a week after the US version.

Isn't the only difference the text on toolbars etc? Disc instead of disk, etc?

Re: Firefox 1.0.5

According to the Mozilla Support Forum there is a problem with 1.0.5 and no localisation work is being done. We should expect 1.0.6 to be released next week, possibly on Monday.

Re: Firefox 1.0.5

Well if anyone wants to try the
Pre-Release/ Nightly Build/ Not Final/ Try at your own Risk
FF 1.0.6 US-EN you can get it here
So far so good for me, all extensions and toolbars work fine and it seems nice and quick. If I don't post again till tomorrow you'll know not to try it out though ;)

Any chance a passing mod can change the thread title to the current version number since we are recycling the thread ;)

Better thank Mr Ben too ;) As far as I know it's only minor differences in spelling predominantly but you may find the British version is less bloated, better looking and less of a resource hog :angel: :p:

Re: Firefox 1.0.5

AFAIK, its as Paul said, you get the British English language pack so the interface has British spellings.

Just upgraded both FF and TB... no problems :)

Re: Firefox 1.0.6

Anyone having the following problems with FF 1.06:

1. Clicking the mousewheel/third button doesn't always open in a new tab, sometimes it ignores me. Works on some links, but not on others. (I.e. it doesn't work on new posts link, but does on one of the articles in Jon M's sig)

2. Had an intermittant problem pasting into a text box. Closing the tab and going back seemed to fix it.

No, I just installed it over the top of my old one. I am going to try stepping back to 1.05 but wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this.

I've always experienced that in FF (i.e. all versions). I initially thought it was a problem with my MS Bluetooth mouse, but I don't have any issues in other apps.

If it doesn't work, remember CONTROL + Left mouse click does the same thing - just not as slick...

Never middle clicked on a link before to be honest, what happens if you hold CTRL down and click the link normally?
I've had issues with copy and paste in the past and sometimes it does seem to foul up but I haven't had a major copy and paste bug for a while. What extensions have you got installed? Might be some form of daft interaction problem with the extensions.

Re: Firefox 1.0.6

Thanx for the feedback guys :tu:

ctrl & left click doesn't work either. I am going to try disabling extensions first because I updated them too today, and that's more likely than FF screwing up isn't it?

How to upgrade from versions 1.0/ 1.0.1/ 1.0.2/ 1.0.3/ 1.0.4/ 1.0.5

1. Download Firefox 1.0.6

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

3. Install Firefox 1.0.6.

How to perform a clean installation

1. Download Firefox 1.0.6

2. 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). If you have customized your search plugins, back them up too [they are in the installation directory, not in the profile].

3. Uninstall any previous version(s) of Firefox. In Windows use the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

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 1.0.6 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 1.0.6 successfully.

6. Before you open firefox, copy key settings back from your prior profiles. From your Backup Profile folder (created in step #2), 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.

Re: Firefox 1.0.6

Thanx for the help Paul. It was an extension after all. I disabled them all, and started re-enabling them in chunks until I isolated it. It isn't a huge problem, it is an old extension I had when FF's tab browsing was a bit basic, which is probably why they are fighting over each other now.

Have to keep an eye on that pasting thing.

Re: Firefox 1.0.6

Yes just updated both the Firefox and the Thunderbird. Funnily enough I had just updated both to 1.0.5 yesterday. No problems with either one. ;) :cool: :tu:
