Firefox 1.0 Final!

Surprised nobody has posted this here yet being that 63% of us are using Firefox. Anyway, here are the links.

Pimps like us should use the ED2K or BitTorrent links if possible. There are enough grandma's & little sisters leeching off Mozilla!

Windows US English

BitTorrent - installer, zip
ED2K - installer, zip
FTP - installer, zip

other languages

Linux US English

BitTorrent - installer.tar.gz, tar.gz
ED2K - installer.tar.gz, tar.gz
FTP - installer.tar.gz, tar.gz

other languages

Other stuff

All 1.0 compatible extensions listed

brb w/ t3h l337 br0ws4r!!

edit: Save for the fact that texturizer is being bombarded 'cause everybody wants to re-download all of their k-rad l337 extensions and themes, I like it

secretweapon · Nov 9, 2004

The only problem right now is the themes. I can't get to the update page

Bleed · Nov 9, 2004

do i have to uninstall previous versions before installing this?

Oni · Nov 9, 2004

It's pro'lly best to do that. That's what I did

Bleed · Nov 9, 2004

but what about all the links i have in my bookmark? i have alot of 'em

.

I just installed over RC 1 and it worked fine, it imports everything and check if your extentions have updates.

A lot of effort has been spent on making upgrades safe, so go ahead and upgrade. If you are paranoid however...

Set hidden folders visible then browse to ->

OS partition -> Documents and Settings -> your username -> Application Data (hidden folder) -> Mozilla -> Firefox -> Profiles -> random profile folder name

bookmarks.html are you bookmarks
cookies.txt are your cookies

the other user editable files in your profile are

user.js
chrome\userChrome.css
chrome\userContent.css

I don't think these are created unless you do it manually. So you probably don't have them.

Anyway, backup these 5 files then uninstall Firefox. Delete your profile directory as well. Install the new version, run it once, and then move your user files into the proper places in the new profile. You'll still have to redo the browser's interface, settings, plugins & extension this way of course.

Hmm, I updated 4 computers here and all worked perfect, everything still intact except for themes.

Bleed · Nov 9, 2004

I have a MX500 and my thumb buttons work by default as back and forward with Firefox. Do you have Mouseware installed?

DreamingWolf · Nov 10, 2004

My only hiccough (which will work itself out over the next month or so) is that some of my favorite extensions are incompatible and don't have updates yet.

I'm also not crazy about my tabs being numbered. Though I haven't checked yet to see if it can be turned off.

Otherwise I love it :clap:
