If you guys have just recently downloaded Firefox 1.5 beta 1, use a branch or trunk nightly build and you hate the way the new menus look...this extension is for you. Thanks to a bunch of folks over on mozillazine.org forums, we have put together this extension to bring back the classic menus, this is especially nice for all the Windows 2000 and below users and users of XP non-luna themes.

Download link

if the link isn't working copy and paste the link into the browser and hit enter. For some reason the link isn't triggering the install notification for me.

just copy the profiles directory under your account folder\Application Settings\Mozilla, it contains everything.

Also, anyone using this new build, can you try file:///G:/Web/TidyUI/supposed_firefox_exploit.xhtml

apparently it will crash Firefox 1.0.6 on windows and linux, and 1.5 Beta 1, but everybody i have gotten to try it, it doesnt crash it.

just interested.

I use THIS ONE.

I am using the Test Build 4 right now. Once you install it, go to the options and set it to back up the files you want.

A couple days ago, testing the nightly builds (which I've been doing for a while now), I started getting random crashes of the browser on Linux, and it's still happening with the final beta 1 release. Closing tabs sometimes causes it to crash as well. Damn. Not even a new profile prevents it.

Would like to say that over at TEM they are starting to update extensions. So be patient use the workarounds or just wait a little while (before installing this beta) and most extensions should be updated soon. Just keeping you posted.

This is posted elsewhere in the Mozilla (Gecko) forums, Just wanted to post it here too, so all would know.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
