Re: Firefox 0.9

So has the issue with using the copy and paste buttons on the WYSIWYG editor been resolved?

Re: Firefox 0.9

Is anyone having any problems with the adblock? It doesn't seem to be working.

When I click on the option to block the ad, nothing happens. I manually put the ad in the filter and still nothing happens.

I've seen reports of other people with ad-block not working with 0.9.

The worst problem that I have been having is that they mispackaged the source code for 0.9 by putting the thunderbird source in instead...doh!!!

You need to install the lastest version of adblock - just export your block list and uninstall then reinstall. If that doesn't work copy your bookmarks cookies and passwords and wipe the profile folder.

I've tried uninstalling it, but I didn't wipe the profile folder. I'll try that when I get home tonight. Thanks

Re: Firefox 0.9

It's got some nice new features with the login by url thing eg http://user:pass@somewebsite.com it checks with you first that you wanted to login and then subsiquent pages it checks that your not being decieved and such. Nice feature but it wont trust a website so every page you goto in the secure connection it keeps asking you over and over.

Both myself and my housemate have changed the theme already as soon as we installed it !

Havent had any problems with ad block as i dont use it, in my experience no need it's built in popup blocker does a good enough job.

Isn't the adblock different to the popup blocker? The adblock stops the ads, like what used to be at the top of this site and the popup stops pop-ups.

Re: Firefox 0.9

I finally finished building it, had to work through several problems but got there in the end. All I can say is ...Zooooooooom! It's that much faster than 0.8. I don't know whether it's because I built a highly optimised version or it's just better generally but the startup times are about half of what I had with 0.8 and I don't know what people were complaining about in the switch from IE thread about the rendering times...it's extremely fast at rendering a page.

The only problem that I have been having is that when I download and install some extensions it won't restart and I have to uninstall the extensions manually.
