Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2 Released


Recommended Posts

Yea, All I did was simply backed up my C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla directory (Just incas;);)).

Headed over to Add/remove and just uninstalled the first installation i saw. Then went into Registry and did a search for Mozilla. Deleted everything that popped up.

Back to Add/Remove i went. Removed all previous remaining instalations.

Installed and Wallah! The damn thing ran flawlessly. Picking up where my previous installation left off. Plugins all work fine. Didn't even have to copy any files back from backed up folder:):)

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind next time a new version of FF is out! :rofl:l:

I don't know.? I've always just downloaded and installed the new one over the old one.? No problems!?&nbs:rofl:fl:

Personally, I consider having three copies of the same program a "problem."

When there's an update, I always download it through Software Update.

Yes, a real coding peeve for me. What's the use of the auto-update if they can't even do the install properly?

Huh? He didn't use auto-update. If he had, I'm sure it would've been fine.

This has apparently been a long-open bug in bugzilla. Go vote for it and maybe some day they'll get around to fixing it:

While you're at it, vote for my bug to improve the Find toolbar. ;)

here's a tip:

If the additional versions of Firefox in the Add/Remove programs bothers you, then you can go into the registry and delete the older keys such as:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (1.0.1)"

I have been doing that because I didnt like seeing several entries of older Firefox versions in my list.  It may bother some people, other people may not care at all but if you do there is a fix.  Hopefully the Mozilla Team will fix this soon!  I love my regedit.  :D

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
