cheers m8 just installing it ;)

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

It also breaks themes, the best available theme for this version is this one IMO : https://addons.mozilla.org/themes/mo...cation=firefox

Initial observations are that this one is a lot quicker on first load and page transitions. Granted a new install often has a placebo effect, but I'll bet you see the improvement too.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Thanks mate, d/led installed and working, seems faster between pages, might just be me. I'm gonna check see if the FF speed tweaks are still ok, otherwise its gonna get it, just now ..lol.

Thanks again

Seems to be a bug regarding the quick reply box, even a refresh doesn't fix it :(

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

What is the problem, you don't see the box? (I'm using it to type this right now)

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

No, I see the box I just can't reply into it, all I can do is quote or use the reply button.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

:erm: fine here mate... did you do an upgrade or a fresh install?
__________________

When you did the refresh... did you use CTRL+F5? or just F5?

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

I did an upgrade, I'll try a fresh install now, tried refreshing via CTRL+F5. F5 doesn't work either.

I'll try the fresh install and report back :tu:

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

So, before I uninstall the one I've got now, what's different? And what's 'Deer Park' mean? Is that just a codename like 'Longhorn' was?

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Found this on my travels, thought I'd post it as a reference for others :tu:

HTH

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

More or less yes, it is just a code name. Not too sure what's different. Have a look a www.mozillazine.org for the news articles they do.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Well that didn't work, in fact its gotten worse, I just had to refresh the post reply page to write this, the quick reply box doesn't respond, not even after F5, CTRL+F5, reload .. any ideas ???

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Thanks :)

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Ok, I'd clear your cache next.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Well I just tried it - and I have the same problem as bop - so I think I'll reinstall the original one and wait a while.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Done that, I'll try a quick reply to this post :tu:

Nope, no joy, having to use the post reply box still, the quick reply box was greyed out until a refresh, like somethings not finished loading up :shrug:

Might go back to 1.4 until its sorted out :(

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

weird, I did an upgrade over my old one, and had no problems at all :erm:

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Now theres another thing, I just had to click behind your ] to be able to reply to this, used to be you could click anywhere in the box IIRC and the cusor would position itself there, am I right :shrug:

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Just out of interest, have you got "find as you type" turned on in the advanced options page?

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

No, why, should I have ??? I've never really done much to FF apart from the speed tweaks, any suggestions ?? :tu:

Going out for a bit, check back later :tu:

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Nice... but if it's gonna break things, I'm gonna wait until the extensions have caught up or it's out of Beta...

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Trying it here - Quick Reply seems fine.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Working fine here and seems to be loading web pages much faster :)

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Downloaded and its working fine. My only gripe is my weather plugin doesn't work with it yet!!

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Gah, quick reply not working for me either :(

cableforum menu in the toolbar gone :(

On windowsXP home, installed from 1.06

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Just updated and its workin fine, although my fav skin no longer works, guess will have to wait for an updated version of it.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Miss the CF toolbar and cannot get it again from Richards site (keeps timing out).

Also Quick reply not working for me either :fit:

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

The quick reply works for me, although the flash cursor thingy doesn't appear until i actually start writing!!

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Ahh, same here, the cursor isnt showing up but Im typing from it now :)

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Wierd :rolleyes:

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

There be bugs in the machine captain!!

No doubt the Firefox peeps will get it sorted!

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Gave up and went back to the previous version (too hit and miss for me)

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

I just tried it and most of my extensions/themes hadn't been updated, so I've gone back to 1.06 and I'll wait till the final release.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Related to this, I've just gone back to Netscape 7.2 from Netscape 8.0, which uses the Firefox engine, because it kept crashing with 100% CPU usage.

It's a pity, I'd like to support their product, but I need a browser that works!

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

You can install an extension called 'Nightly Tester Tools'. This works with most extensions. It puts a checkbox in the 'Install now' extension dialogue box that can be ticked to make the current versions of extensions work with nighties and beta versions of Firefox. 'Compact Menu' is the only extension I've found so far that it hasn't worked with.

It beats making each extension compatible by using Winrar to open up the xpi and then updating the version number in the 'install.rdf' file.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Thanks for that. It didn't like one of my extensions though.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Hmmm, Thunderbird 1.5 beta is out now, too.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Hmm, quick reply works for me... I just got the beta of TB as well.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

I notice the installers for both 1.5 beta versions say they're 1.4 when you install, and so do the entries in Add/Remove Programs. Help -> About gives the correct version, though.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Flash doesn't work though.

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

Does for me. Is Adblock maybe blocking it?

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

No it just says No Flash Plugin installed. I've even reinstalled FlashPlayer...

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

A bit of an explanation here

Re: Firefox 1.5 beta1 (Deer Park) officially released!
 

No problems with the quick reply, but...

...the adblock doesn't seem to be working fully. It's blocking the ads from the filters already there, but I cannot add to it using the right-click.

Also, I had to alt-f4 to close it after the normal methods didn't work.
