I tried this and I had all kinds of problems. The most obvious was that my bookmarks were gone. I could see them if I "Managed" my bookmarks, but they weren't in the browser itself! huh.gif

I guess I'll wait until I see it on the official page. cry.gif

I'm sure that this has been asked before but, why isn't it on the official page?

EDIT: Maybe, in order not to crash the server, they keep it with the nightlies, so the downloading is staggered?

It's on our front page: Mozilla Firefox RC1 FTP
Mozilla will update their pages soon thumbs_up.gif
Emon
They probably wont put it on main page. Cause RC1 is mostly a "testing" release.

If you're interested in testing these candidates and reporting bugs to Bugzilla, you can get them from FTP. If you've already downloaded 1.0 PR (the "feature complete" preview) and you're not particularly interested in active testing and bug reporting, then you should probably stick with 1.0 PR for a couple more weeks and upgrade when we release the official Firefox 1.0.

maybe. maybe they are waiting for it to get to all of the mirrors. maybe they just haven't gotten around to it yet. maybe they went out for a beer to celebrate.

still no fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240592

They will definitely put something up soon at least stating that an RC is out.

The Jorge
Is it just me or does the 'My Assistant' popup break? It opens in the same tab I clicked the link in.

The icons on the left of the Options window have changed.

Another thing I noticed. The tabs no longer reach the bottom of the tab bar. There's a 2-3 pixel gap now. I liked it like it was before. Where the tabs' bottoms would touch the top of the page.

All my extensions are working but 1 (MiniT - Drag+Indicator).

Ah well, nice update, but I think I'm going back to my copy of Firefox from 9/30. Has the single window update in it. biggrin.gif

Mine works fine.. RC1 Firefox

make sure you don't have it checked in your preferences (advanced > tabbed browsing) to force links that open new windows to open in the same window/tab. Also, they changed the default from the earlier october builds, so when you check either of those options it will redirect all new windows into tabs. there is a hidden pref to change this behavior...

browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction

0 = redirect all window.open() calls to tabs
1 = don't redirect window.open() calls
2 = redirect featureless window.open() calls

set it to 2, and it will allow popups that have a window size or that hide UI elements to open in a new window. setting it to 1 will allow window.open() calls, but will still redirect target="_blank" into tabs if you have that pref set.

if you don't set force inks that open new windows to open in (the same window/tab) or (a new tab), that hidden pref won't have any effect.

Are you all using the same version as me? tongue.gif

To me its exactly the same speed as the PR i was using, i havent noticed any page rendering increase, or better load times, or better downloads?

Bleh it broke all my 12 extensions except Adblock, back to PR for now.
jazmon
wow, can anyone send the pr to my email... jazmon[a]gmail.com
most of my extensions are broke and i have alot. lol. thanks to the kind soul

This release busted the functionality of TBE. Back to PR until it works.
Obtuse
Wow, I'm surprised that so many people are having problems with their extensions. I have about 20 installed; FF RC1 broke about half of them, but I was able to find updates for all but two of them in about 5 minutes. In addition, I expect updates for those two will be ready in a couple of days.

For Lucifer360, try using the 'Tab Clicking Options' extension to add the middle-click close functionality.

yes, I have the same problem. Also, middle-clicking anywhere on a page (except links) navigates either back, or to a random website

RC1 seems to be working fine here, with the exception of my extensions..

All steams ahead for the Nov. 9th release.

to get extensions working with 1.0rc1 which haven't been updated yet,
simply type in about:config in the address bar then navigate to

app.extensions.version

and change the value to

0.10

install extensions and change back to 1.0 if you wish afterwards.


to get themes working which haven't been updated yet:

1. Extract the install.rdf from .jar file of the theme
2. Opened it in notepad and edited the :
<em:maxVersion>0.10</em:maxVersion>
line to:
<em:maxVersion>1.0</em:maxVersion>
3. Save the changes and put the install.rdf back into the .jar file
4. Install the theme by dragging the .jar file into the themes window,

it should then install!
