Firefox 1.0RC2 Released

[ozgeek]

I'd rather stick with Firefox RC1 till Firefox 1.0 comes out, I've tweaked it too much to waste time re-tweaking it.

[grasshopper]

They removed the "Force links to open up in a new tab" thingy :huh:

yep. ya gotta change browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true. if you set up your prefs on RC1, they'll still work in RC2.

You think they will enable piplining, signed.applets.codebase_principal_support, and browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs by default in v1.0?

Heck no.

However, they probably will add UI's for these options sometime next year. Notice that the options menu has been cleaned up and has plenty of room for a "Tweaks" or "Enhancements" page since they FINALLY moved themes and extensions into their own windows. :)

The single window prefs will probably make it into 1.1, expected in March. They took it out because of some bugs dealing with scripting, and some crashes. Here's the bug, if ya wanna check it out.

[HoochieMamma]

what about signed.applets.codebase_principal_support? Its very useful with sites like ircspy.com and packetnews.com etc.

[Nelsinho]

thanks for the heads up (Y)

Yeah I saw this too, and it sucks that this wasn't stablized for 1.0. You are correct in saying that 1.1 will be out for March. Also, expect a major bugfix release (1.01-02) to come out sometime in early January.

New features in 1.1 being planned according to chatter I read on Moz forums.

-MAJOR bugfixes not fixed in 1.01.

-Cross Session resume downloading. (YAY!)

-MAJOR redo on download manager code. (Pausing issues, etc)

-Use of Mozilla 1.8 code. (WOOHOO)

-New UI for a functionality as yet to be determined by mozilla team (security, plugins, helper AI, could be any of these)

Wow, nice. Might finally force me to do the offifial convert from IE for good this time. :yes:

I've been wondering about that too but I just use the IEView Plugin to view those in IE.

[greg098]

[Hurmoth]

Just six more days until 1.0 is released :bounce:

no need

just add that line in your user.js

user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);

[guru]

[Rell]

no need

[Chad.C]

With the release of the final build looming ever so closely, i think i'll wait for it..

Viva la Mozilla.

[j.cloud]

woooooo~~~~ many thanks for this info. about RC2 !

FireFox~

:woot: :woot: :woot:

[The Jorge]

If you already have RC1, then why not just wait for 1.0 Final? Don't think it has changed that much that one should feel the need to upgrade.

Thanks, posted :)

Themes and extention pages have been in their own windows for the best part of half a year now

wakey wakey :)

November 9th is going to rock. Halo 2, Firefox 1.0, and my a 26er of vodka. *sigh*. I love this month.

[Chris Allen Veteran]

I'm going to wait until 1.0 but this is cool nontheless.

[tomwarren Veteran]

Yea, november is the best month :D

16th for HL2 as well.

[Rablet]

Thanks for the heads up!

When will Thunderbird 1.0 be released?

[M/\TT]

Thanks man!

Installed and using it now :) Seems a bit faster than 1.0 Preview Release I was running before!
