Joel Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 InstallationThe official releases don't have installers, which means that you need to install Firefox manually. If you're using Windows, you can download an unofficial installer which takes care of this whole process, including the creation of application shortcuts. This is not up to date. They only make Windows Installers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova_00 Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 umm no they dont please see here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...y/latest-0.9.1/ or did you mean Mozilla makes the installer now and its not unofficial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoeba Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 umm no they dont please see here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...y/latest-0.9.1/ I just went to download Firefox to check and they're doing the download for Windows as an .exe installer. (FirefoxSetup-0.9.1.exe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 umm no they dont please see here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...y/latest-0.9.1/ or did you mean Mozilla makes the installer now and its not unofficial? They did at some point. Either way, the installers ARE official. Windows users will find Firefox is now only 4.7MB to download. At only 4.7MB (Windows), Firefox only takes minutes to download over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers - so you can start surfing right away. The zip archive is 6.0MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayamaniac Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 great brower, but you still need IE to visit certain websites, such as http://launch.yahoo.com/ I could never get any videos to play, seems Firefox does play nice with WMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomi Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Awesome guide, supernova. going to go send it to a few friends that are being stubborn about converting to firefox. just so you know.... there's a extension called User Agent Switcher. if a site doesnt allow users to use firefox you can easily make the site think that you're using IE or Opera, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
