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

    • 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.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
