Firefox 1.0 Released!

[Ryan M.]

The reason I said the uninstall thing is that, at least with .8.x and .9.x, the new installation didn't remove the old version from the installed programs list, so if you ever need/want to uninstall, you've got a mess. And it looks messy.

This may be due to the current "theme/skin" I am using. However, after updating to 1.0, I am now unable to find where to unblock blocked pop-ups on certain Web Sites that I need to unblock. Including school related ones!!! If anyone recalls, the bottom left corner next to [Done] used to have a little [x] when a pop-up was blocked.

Thanks!

It should in the lower right hand corner, as well as a bar which displays across the top of the page for a few seconds (similar to IE).

Try it with the default skin if it still doesn't work.

Sorry about bringing this back from the dead, however Firefox 1.03 came out earlier today. To download and install it follow these directions
1. Click on the Tools Menu
2. Scroll Down to Options, Click it
3. A Box Comes up, on the right hand side click Advanced
4. Under Software Update (3rd Tab) you'll see a check now button, Make sure firefox is turned on above it and click check now
5. Wait for the download
6. When its done you'll get a Installation Wizard
7. Check the boxes off and say yes and such
8. When you get to one of the last questions, they will ask, Use Firefox Start as Default webpage, turn this option off if you want to keep your homepage
9. All done, now that wasn't so hard was it?

As a side note on that, the auto-update feature downloads the 1.02 setup (at least it did for me). An interesting bug, but just use the directions above, not the automatice way.

While we are talking about FireFox here is an awesome website to get some Extensions for 1.0.3

Just a note:

If you're getting the "whatever_your_homepage_is.com cannot be found" message, after installing 1.0.3, try restarting.

My boyfriend's computer (yes, I finally converted him to a Firefox-user!) had to be restarted before Firefox would even load after the install, but it worked right away for me.
