I finally decided to move to 1.5x... main reason I havent yet is that I was simply too busy and the "Check for Updates" function never showed 1.5x... so I just assumed the code base was different enough to warrant a complete install, not an autoupdate... because of that, I kept telling myself Id download it and install it later, but never did... :laugh:

I was wondering tho, should I backup my bookmarks, uninstall 1.0.7 and then install 1.5?... I know its always been recommended to uninstall previous versions... besides, Ive always had problems with new versions when I didnt uninstall the previous version... I was just wondering if thats still the case with the new builds

Also, anyone willing to let me know if the extensions I use are compatible with 1.5x?... Download Manager Tweak, Adblock, Titlebar Tweaks, NoScript and Tab Mix Plus

Just updated to 1.5.0.1

Adblock Plus v 0.6.0.4

NoScript v 1.1.3.9

Tab Mix Plus v 0.3

All working fine. :p

Don't know about your other extensions. When you do the 1.5.0.1 update FF becomes very polite and checks your extensions and themes and tells you which ones are not compatible. :yes: Quite nice after the upgrade problems everyone seemed to have going from 1.0.7 to 1.5.

I also run:

DownThemAll v 0.9.8.7

Linky v 2.7.1

Magpie v 3.2.4

FoxClocks v 1.2.60

Hope this helps!

alright, that answers my extensions question... now about the other question... :rofl:

should I still uninstall 1.0.7 before installing 1.5x?... is uninstalling the old version then installing the new version still necessary?

when I tell Firefox to check for updates, it never shows 1.5x... so Im assuming autoupdate doesnt work because the code base is so different

I've always uninstalled to avoid problems. It's not that big of a deal really, and you don't have to back anything up as it keeps your profile and everything. Just uninstall 1.0.7 and then install 1.5 and you'll be good to go. And I think they changed the whole update process, so that's probably why it's not showing for you?

In the past I always installed on top of the previous version. But with 1.5 I actually back everything up and wiped clean old installs before installing 1.5.

Your choice. But back up everything before hand anyway. Also get actual downloads of all the extension .xpi files before wiping your previous install.

I used to install new versions over the last version I had installed but it would act as a brand new install instead of just an update... so Id have a new folder for each version, a new instance in Add/ Remove Programs, etc.

Like I said earlier, I assumed autoupdate didnt work because the codebase for 1.5x was so different compared to 1.0.7

Ill just download 1.5x later and uninstall 1.0.7 right before I install 1.5x... Ill just export my favorites, thats all I really need... I can download all of my extensions again after the new install

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
