trunk build that will become 2.0 in about a year.

HoochieMamma: just go to help->check for updates

because could take up to 24 hours before the updater checks server for newer version

Works really good. It is actually noticeable and users will use it, which is my big pet peeve with most update systems.

i have a question about extensions, i read before that althought previous extensions may not work on rc2, there is a way to force extensions to be capatible. can anyone please tell me the method in order to get this to work, because there are a few extensions that dont seem to ever update, but is necessary for me to run firefox with that id like to be part of my ff1.5 experience. thanks.

I think the method was to type about:config and find the place where it has the ffx version number and set it to 1.0.7 or whatever the extensions were compatible with. I'm not 100% sure though and this may cause the updater to kick into action needlessly. It was a trick in the pre 1.0 days but. Dont take my word on it. Sure you could do something in about:config but

Furthermore using extensions not made for 1.5 could cause issues so be prepared to launch in safe mode should you get it working.

edit: theres a setting there for extensions.disabledObsolete which by default seems set to true. What if you made that false?

If you have an extension that it says it cant find an update for, then located the download page for that extension and reinstall it. the installer pop up that appears has a check box for overiding maxversion combatibility. check it and voila. it worked for smartsearch and fireftp for me. :D

1.5 Final very soon ?

586794190[/snapback]

Won't be long... I think this is the last RC, unless they find some major issues with this one. I say within the next week, maybe two at the most.

[Yochanan]

I installed this on two different computers, and on both the Go button no longer works. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm not too worried about it, I'll probably do a clean install when 1.5 final comes out.

update on 1.5rc1 shows nothing new . interesting ....

Bugfixes?

Most likely

I presume once we have gone live 1.0.7 will report the update available also, or do i need to have 1.5 already for the notification via the actual software?

You assume correctly, 1.0.7 users should get a 1.5 notification.
