Time to update or change if you havent already.

Had the installer sitting on my HD for a few days.
If I install it will I lose my bookmarks(tons of porn) and saved passwords?

[Commander Marklar]

no, mine have survived through a couple of installs but my live bookmarks don't refresh properly anymore and the same bugs that niggle me now are still present in this release. i've lived with 'em for a while, i can probably live with them a bit longer...

Thanks for the news, I've just updated.

If I encounter any issues, I'll be sure to mention it

Your bookmarks are stored in your profile, not in the application folder, so they should survive a whole ton of upgrades.

I love Firefox. Did anyone else here donate to the advert spread in the New York Times? I did, seeing as I'd definitely buy Firefox if it wasn't free. And it is, so I had the money to spare.

At last I can arrange my favourites folders alphabetically, used to irritate me in previous builds when I couldnt.

Mmmm... I'm getting intermittent exceptions with this new 1.0 release (not doing anything special at all).

Bugger, I deleted the 0.9 installer ages ago too...

I thought I'd been using v1.0 for ages. Must have been a beta or something. What's changed in the meantime?

I've still got this on my HDD. Let me know if you want a copy.

I've noticed a difference with v1.0 whereby if you click a link from an external program (MSN Messenger or an Outlook email message for example) the link will open in an existing browser window instead of opening a new one. It always used to open a new window.

This can be quite annoying, does anyone know how to stop this?

[Lyris]

Sure you don't have any extensions that manage that kind of thing installed?

[Magnakai]

Yeah, it's in the options menu, under Tools/Options/Advanced/Tabbed Browsing
You can also enable a couple of extra options in there by typing about:config into the address bar and turning browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true.

Cheers man, that's done the trick!

[Leon Retro]

I have just installed it, seems a bit faster and more stable.

It plays much nicer with the office firewall than 0.8 did, which is nice. I miss Find On This Page being up with the google toolbar at the top, but thats my only complaint with the new version.
