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:

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

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?

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.

i'm liking it so far. only problem is i still cant install that inspirat theme grrrrrr any help at all?

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. :D

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.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
