What's up. Just wondering if anyone is having problems with the latest Firefox release. I've been having problems with the extensions. In particular the Tabbrowser Preferences. When I install it and restart Firefox it comes up with a space at the bottom of the window and in it, it has some weird code that mentions the Tab browser extension. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks.

Quick question as I'm new to FFX... do you guys normally just install right over the browser's current installation? Or do you uninstall, then install the new package??

1.0.6 is the first version I've ever used, so I just need to know so I can save myself some hassle. :)

Thanks in advance for the help. :blush:

I've never had a problem just installing on top of the previous installations...

BUT.... things can and will get screwed up this way. Reason I say this is because Firefox isn't like IE and saves it's settings in some out of the way generic profile... Firefox creates it's own profile and hides it safely away to protect it.

Thus, if you upgrade to a new version, the profile can still think you're using 1.0x and get confused. This is why the above person *may* have had problems with his extensions.

As with any software, make a back up of your bookmarks, uninstall Firefox, and install the newest version and download and install the newest extensions.

This will help prevent any conflicts between the program.

For example, I'm running 1.51Beta, I did just an install on top of the old firefox, and my Adblock wasn't working right. Flash wouldn't show up properly. I even upgraded my flash... Turns out it was the adblock extension, and I needed "Adblock Plus" instead.

Hope this helps!! :D

From what I've seen, if you don't uninstall FF and just do an upgrade, first thing it does is check for compatibility with the themes/extensions you have.  So unless it specifically states that you should uninstall prior versions, I'd just stick with upgrading.

The install of 1.5 over 1.06 didn't work for me for some reason, and it didn't give any warning. It installed, but wouldn't start up when I tried to run it. I just reinstalled the old version over it again and was back to a working copy of 1.06. Has anyone installed 1.5 over 1.06 and gotten it to work?

Going to go install 1.07 now. :D

the extension loaded on the mozilla site is screwed. go to the mozilla page, then follow the link to the main authors site and install the "english-locale" version

EDIT: gotcha the link Author's Site

it should be fine. they fixed a bug in previous versions that resulted in multiple entries in add/remove programs.

nmuibm04, you've contradicted yourself. first you say it should be fine, then you say "as with any software, backup, uninstall..." etc.

extensions should not break because your profile's got "confused". Extensions are designed to work with 1.x, where x is a predetermined maximum. Thus, extensions working in 1.0, 1.01, 1.02...1.06 should work fine in 1.07 unless they made a big change to the way extensions work, or an incompatibility has been introduced because of a bug fix. i haven't had any problems with extensions carrying over from 1.06 to 1.07.

it'll be with 1.5 where extensions will break, because devs will have to bump the maxversion to 1.5 instead of 1.0x.

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
