borfast Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 (edited) From http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-2004-10-01-02.html October 1, 2004. The Mozilla Foundation releases an important security update for Firefox. All users should upgrade to the latest version of the Firefox Preview Release. A patch is available for current Preview Release users. Preview Release users can update simply by going to the Preferences/Options dialog -> Advanced section and click the Check Now button on the Sfotware Updates section.

TCH-Thomas Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Since I am running a swedish version of 1.0PR.... Can I install that patch and Firefox will still speak swedish or will I have to wait for the swedish translators to have translated it? Quote
borfast Posted October 3, 2004 Author Posted October 3, 2004 I'm not sure about that, Thomas... You should probably ask that in the Mozillazine forums. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 The anser from my question in the mozilla forum was: Installing this update will not break any localizations. If your browser is in German, for example, it will still be in German after the update. By the way: They have a whole topic about this patch at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=138771 Quote
!!blue Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 A few days after I did the update, my laptop installation of FF1.0 PR refused to start. I tried restarting the laptop-nothing. I tried running FF on a new profile (Start > Run > C:\...firefox.exe -p)--nothing. I had to reinstall FF to get it to work again. Now the same thing happened on my computer at work. Just as an FYI, !!blue Quote
TCH-Don Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 My upgrade just refused to run. It ran in the safe mode, so it was incompatable extensions. I had to go into C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.q9k\extensions\ and rename XUL.mfl to force it to be recreated. Still did not help so rename extensions folder and bingo! I had to reinstall extensions, but all is working. Not saying this is your problem, but I found that on forums.mozillazine.org Quote
!!blue Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Hey, yeah! There you go, that's exaclty what's going on! I'll try it tomorra at work thanks, !!blue Quote
TCH-Don Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 You are welcome! good luck. I did lose my spell checker extension, though, I miss that. Hope they upgrade it to work on 1.0 soon. Quote
!!blue Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 It worked! Wow, I missed my FF Yeah, the extension called X is the one I'll miss. It created a button on the toolbar that would clear your cache. thanks! !!blue Quote
TCH-Don Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 More of the extensions are being updated to 1.0 as time goes by. So hopefully it won't be too long before we see our favorites back. Quote
borfast Posted October 13, 2004 Author Posted October 13, 2004 FF 1.0 final is also coming out in a few days, so we'll finally have a stable plugin API (which should already be stable but... ). http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/006693.html Quote
