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.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
