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 ;)

Asa Dotzler -- firefox 1.0.1 security and stability update available

Get it while it's hot. Firefox 1.0.1 update is available. This is a security and stability update so not much in the way of new feautures.

* Windows en-US: here
* Linux en-US: here
* Mac en-US: here
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 :)

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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!.
