Firefox 0.9

A release canditate for firefox 0.9 has been released: get it here

You may wish to back up the profile folder.

Which is in: C:/documents and setting/[your username]/Application data/Firefox or pheonix/

OR windows/application data - for 98

I'll post again when the complete release is ready and I'll whip together some instructions for optimising firefox to specific system specs.

Nice one, thanks mate.

I tried it but I'm going to stick with Mozilla 1.7 for now.

The zip file attached contains user.js files (to be placed into your firefox profile folder) for various system/internets specifications. Read the read me for instructions.

I made this using information from this thread.

To eliminate complications you may wish to wait until the full release version of firefox 0.9 is released and installed before you start experimenting.

People are welcome to proof read it and send me corrections.

Actaully they were all designed for 0.8. I'm told the version number should make little difference.

Hmmmm, I cant find the place to put them? I dont seem to have an Application Data folder !

How do you decide if you have a high or middle end comp......mines xp2100 and 512mb ram with a radeon 54mb card running xp pro?

You need to make sure hidden folders are shown.
To do this open My Computer then go to Tools>Folder Options>View.

I'd say that's high end but, try both and see which you like best.

Hmmmm, I still cant find where it is and now in the process \I seem to have disabled my quick launch bar and even though its ticked it wont come back ?

I 'upgraded' Firefox to the latest 0.9 release yesterday only to find that the 'back' & 'forward' buttons are disabled in the browser totally (javascript previous page links no longer work, buttons on keyboard or mouse no longer work, etc) but after uninstalling & putting 0.8 back on, it now works fine again.

I have to say that the new theme is terrible.
It's not too bad on XP but when you switch to the Windows Classic theme it looks awful.

That's why I like the linux version, it picks up and uses the system gtk theme so looks good. I've not tried 0.9 yet, they haven't done a source tarball and pulling the uncompressed cvs tree on 150k is painfully slow.

0.9 is now out
