TCH-Thomas Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 has just been released. A minor update, this version fixes a few security holes and some other bugs. If you're using Firefox 1.0, you want this release. http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ Quote
stevevan Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Hmmm...one would think that by clicking on Tools, Options, Advanced, Software Update, Check Now, that it would find the update. Mine didn't. Quote

btrfld Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I went ahead to the link Thomas gave us and downloaded the zip file. Can't open it. I get an 'Unspecified Error' message. How useful is that? I'll try again later I guess. Quote

btrfld Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Sorry, my mistake. It was an exe. It was WinZip that reported the error trying to extract the files. My confusion. Must have been a bad download. I just threw away the old one and downloaded a new one, and it worked fine. Thanks for asking. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Downloaded and installed. No problems here either. Thanks Thomas. If anyone cares Trillian has released their update to 3.1 too. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted February 25, 2005 Author Posted February 25, 2005 Isn´t the trillian update still alpha or beta, Bruce? EDIT: I just noticed it isn´t alpha/beta. For some reason the update button within trillian didn´t work. Thanks Bruce. Quote

Mine didn't. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> According to the MozillaZine forums, they will be adding this new release to Firefox's automatic software update in a day or two. They need a bit more time to get it packaged in a way that will work with the auto update. I guess they could have kept the new version under wraps until they had the auto-update version working, but I personally don't have a problem with the fact that they released the "install manually" version first, since we're talking about free, open-source software.

I looked every for a zipped version I thought maybe I was going blind. Quote

Difference is that the exe writes to the registry (windows version) so you must use that at least once per major version update, then you can use the zip independents to get the optomized build capabilities.if you want to.

TCH-Thomas Posted February 27, 2005 Author Posted February 27, 2005 I haven´t installed the 1.0.1 yet, even if I was announcing the release here (simply because I am waiting for the swedish 1.0.1 version). Is there anything I should think about when installing the new version? Such as uninstalling 1.0 before or can I install it over 1.0? Why I ask is because I ran in to a lot of trouble when upgrading Firefox before. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Thomas, I installed over top of three installations just fine. No problems. Make that 4 installations. Two desktops and two laptops. Quote
DarqFlare Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Cool. I'll wait for the auto-update. I also got the Trillian update automatically on both my computers. How do I submit bugs to Mozilla about Firefox? I found one... Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Well, I take that back. It was working great and now my extensions are all screwed up. I've removed and reinstalled the browser but I cannot get the "Get more extensions" link to work. Quote

I guess the just install over would work fine. Edited February 28, 2005 by djk Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I had problems on one of my desktop computers yesterday. The only way to correct the issues was to remove the 1.0.1 and 1.0 version of Firefox and reinstall it. I removed my profile too. The other three machines had no problems. Quote
Deverill Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I've done 3 from 1.0 to 1.0.1 without uninstalls and they're all working fine, for what it's worth. Quote
youneverknow Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Firefox now has the update available by clicking the (left) icon under the "close window" "X" top of browser window.. Clicking this will check your version and suggest the installation of version 1.01. I did this on two computers and it works well. It also saves all the tweaks I made in the about:config section reccomended in this forum. youneveknow Quote
DarqFlare Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Worked fine, 2 installs for me using the "auto updater." Quote
