Firefox 1.5 will be released today. Most localized builds are ready. Just waiting on 3 server side fixes, release notes, start page redirect and addons.mozilla.org links for extensions to get more info. All easy fixes, then upload the builds and then trigger auto update. Remember could take up to 24 hours until your firefox checks for updates (only Firefox 1.5 beta 2, rc1 and rc2 users)...so manually go to Help->Check for updates.

Check here for release:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5/

once this folder is created, release will be within two hours or so.

or a few hours after these are fixed.

If you are on 1.0.X you will get the notification button in the toolbar and you will have to do the full update. Just like how the security updates are from like 1.0.6 to 1.0.7...which really sucks. But after you guys get 1.5 you won't have to worry about that and firefox will get updated a hell of a lot more. Security fixes within hours via binary patching...also same for releases.

oh ok, in that case firefox checks for an update every 24 hours. now depending on how you have you settings in options menu, firefox could check tomorrow morning, download 1.5, and on next restart update. or you could get notification that update is out, ask what you want to do, then so on. so it depends on your settings.

Uninstall firefox first (your profile will be fine) and install 1.5rc2. Becuase updating from 1.0.7 to 1.5 becuase of the way 1.0.x updates will do the same thing.

Excellent, coolbeans (Y)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
