Firefox 1.0.1 Release

[Raistlin]

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!

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

[Raistlin]

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

... 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

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

When I download from:

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

I get the 1.0.1 exe

Good Luck!

1.0.1 has removed the bug that annoyed me the most

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

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??

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

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.
