Too late, somebody else posted it

[Ianmac45]

[jakesangel]

Does anyone else have a gigantic status bar at the bottom?

Both betas and now this release candidate are like that.

I guess i'll just have to go back to using 1.0.7 again...

I've seen that error before, but might know it, when I want remember where, I can't remember :laugh:

If I think of it, I'll post it... I know it is here at Neowin that I've seen it. Might want to try and search in the Firefox forum ;)

When will Firefox 1.5 be out? Hopefully before IE 7 because Mozilla have been working on this for AGES and AGES!!!

It should be out in a few days, pending no big bugs.

That normally comes up if you're using an extension that modifies menu's in someway. I remember when I tried installing an old version of compact menu and I had that at the bottom of the screen.

Have you tried running firefox in safe mode so no extensions are loaded? If not I would try it and if everything works you know the problem is an extension and not the browser.

[ahfunaki]

not having that problem here...

I used the update feature, pretty neat. Couldn't wait for it to download and install automatically :p

edit: Dammit, all-in-one gestures isn't working :(

[Dazog]

There will be a RC2 then Final

There were a few fixes checked into today if you are using nightly's.

So the final will have a few small minor fixes before it gets signed off

Thanks! I'm not sure which extension it was. They were all disabled because they weren't compatible.. So I just uninstalled all of them. That status bar is gone now though!

[sundayx Veteran]

im going to wait till the final if its just a week wait

[supernova_00]

Final won't be a weeks wait. RC2 might be a week or more with release then scheduled for around end of november.

[HoochieMamma]

Can't seem to edit my post but All-in-one gestures DOES work, you have to get the latest version though:

nice thx...

Ugh, the menus look awful, I'm using windows classic, now the menus look like they are from quicktime or some crap. Makes the application feel strange.

:angry:

[sundayx Veteran]

Download Classic Menus for Winstripe 2.2, that will fix the problem and make it look normal :yes:

How often does the auto-update feature check for updates?
