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

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.

all of mine are working fine after upgrading and I never lost my theme either.

I just uninstalled the firefox program, and installed the new browser it just overwrote to the original folder.
no preobs this side so far.

thanks to Paul for being on the ball........................I'm a poet and I don't know it

Sheesh, not another FF patch ...

[LemonyBrainAid]

Heh, i've had this for a while, found the direct 1.03 beta link on a w**** site..

[cookie_365]

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.

Just had a look, but there's no "English (British)" version yet, so I'll wait.

The extensions that didn't work after the update were ok once I went back to the extensions site and installed them all again.
What one are you having trouble with??

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

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

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?

Have you tried getting the extensions from this site? There was a couple of extensions that I used on previous FF versions, but from the update.mozilla it was showing that they hadn't updated yet. But on that site they had updated it thelmselves. On there the down the all extension is showing 1.0+
