Hmm, it's too bad I can't get to the site to download it. Of course, that could be because the computer I'm on right now only has IE and a spyware-ridden version at that (I'm working right now;)) which may be preventing me from getting to mozilla sites:)

Try.....http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-1.0.installer.tar.gz

Or it could be getting hammered...try the torrent

It has a feature that can Auto Detect what plugin required. i cant play my yahoo chess game No suitable Plugin


:-(

Yahoo chess uses java I believe. Maybe you need to install Java? Just a guess.

I just installed it and it's working okay. I had to delete the whole directory that had the previous install so I could install it in the same place. Just a nuisance, but nothing big. It had a hiccup where it didn't refresh the display and had a little "glitch", but then it was fine.

Also, I noticed in preferences -> web features, the setting "Allow web sites to install software" defaulted to "on". I turned it off because I wasn't sure what they meant by "software".

I just emerged firefox 1.0 and my life is now complete. My work here is done.

[psi42]

Just grabbed it. It seems that the program as a whole is just much more responsive than 1.0PR, even though I was using a pentium4-optimized build. I think the firefox developers have finally decided to fix a few of the more annoying responsiveness issues. :)

You need to enable it if you want to install themes from a webpage with one click. I noticed another thing: When I go to type in the address bar or google search bar the program freezes for 2-3 seconds. I find that this is less responsive than the 0.9 series.

[duncanbojangles]

Well, about ten minutes after the previous post, I restarted Firefox, and guess what? Everything works perfectly now. It just needed to warm up a bit, I guess. I retract all statements about Firefox 1.0 being less responsive and buggy.

Give it some time, ebuilds don't magicly appear without bugs/errors.

I don't think there is enough of a difference between 1.0-rc2 and 1.0 to make a mad dash to upgrade anyway

Agreed. I did anyway, but the only difference I've noticed so far is that Firesomething doesn't seem to work with it and it added a new ugly Go button next to the address bar, which I promptly removed. Why wouldn't I just push enter when I'm done entering the URL anyway?:)

I just made one, it's not all that hard.

[keyshawn]

umm...
do i actually install this in the same directory as before or not [and overwrite all of the previous install]
[wondering]

this looks good, though there's talk of having desktop search, which is completely unecessary...They need to focus on fixing all of their bugs first !

[bigmac99]

Are my favorites and "quicklink" toolbar saved in a file or folder that I save before upgrading? I don't want to lose these when I do the upgrade?

Thanks
Charles

they are saved and automatically put in, but I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND you back up your bookmarks just in case...
