Firefox 1.0 should be here next week! Can't wait... I'm using Mozilla 1.7.3, I guess it's the heavyweight version of Firefox, you could say. The only thing I have any qualms about with Moz. is the slower-ness than IE (Startup, displaying certain pages incorrectly, and certain msg. board thread pages *cough* XLT *cough*) It seriously almost locks up / brings to a crawl whatever else is going on when I try and switch pages on XLT. Oh well... |

i have my doubts as to whether 1.0 will be released within a week, or a month for that matter. i think they're working out bugs with the PR release that'll take longer than that to iron out. personally, i hope the work with it as long as they need to release a really solid browser. time's getting tight... they've got around a year and a half (at best guess) to get the jump on longhorn, and they'll need every bit of that. as far as slow page loads, that's wierd; firefox is faster than IE on just about every page i go to... maybe you should try deleting your profile folder and letting mozilla create a fresh new one for you. starting with a fresh one may solve some of those problems, i think corupted profiles can cause wierd issues. |

That might do it. I haven't created any profiles, I always use the default one because nobody else uses my PC. So exactly what folder would I delete? Also, I can't find where to delete old Themes that are still in the menu I don't want. They really need a Theme uninstaller / deleter. So what does Longhorn have to do with Mozilla... is M$ releasing a Mozilla-killa? :D |

Nevermind on the Theme thing. Found it. When the hell did they implement that lol |

internet explorer is the mozilla killer. new version of windows = new version of IE. but, as long as microsoft leaves IE out to dry moz may have a chance to steal userbase by offering a better product. I don't have mozilla full installed on my home machine, but i believe the profile folder is something like: \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Mozilla\ |

i'm not sure about mozilla full, but firefox got better about the way it dealt with themes around 0.9 i think. |
||||||||

oops, that should be: \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\[some crazy mismash] just rename the folder (maybe add "_old" to the end or something), and restart mozilla... it should create a fresh new one, then you can just move plugins and bookmarks over from the old one. |

I'm on 98SE, not XP... sorry bout the mixup. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Found it. It's: C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\jbr7q8mz.slt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, delete "Default" or the "jbr7q8mz" one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

OK, I just created a new profile... it worked, thanks a million. Everything is much faster now, like it should be. It was a bitch importing my bookmarks. The "Personal Toolbar" folder didn't want to be deleted, after it didn't want to take the old bookmarks from the expoted "Personal Toolbar" folder. I had to coax it, can't remember how now. Now I can't get the userChrome.css customs to work that I just added... crap. I guess I'll delete the old "jbr7q8mz" folder now. Sounds like an AFX track title.... |

.... n/m on the deleting folder thing. Tonight's just not my night, at all, for working on Moz. I just deleted the "default" profile and rebuilt it through the wizard. Thanks again |
||||||||

yeah, for some reason mozilla just won't let you delete the 'personal toolbar' folder out of bookmarks. so, when you import a new one you have to manually copy from the new (imported) 'personal toolbar' folder into the original, then delete the old one... it's a real pain in the ass. they should improve that. doesn't seem like it would be too hard. so then, it worked for you? that's awesome! there oughta be a "Repair Profile" button in the browser, because it seems like these sorts of problems pop up for a lot of people, and it's a really awkward procedure to fix it. |

Oh, shush you silly poopie pants! What did I tell you about letting others know of our "internal" affairs?! OK, I got muh userChrome.css thingie mah bobs to work. They were below that stupid line they weren't supposed to be placed under. Now my Moz looks like Firefox. GO ME |

, the head developer for Firefox recently revised the release date. Looks like 1.0 is expected sometime around Nov. 9th. I've just updated the Firefox Roadmap again - outlining what we think are roughly the release dates. They are, if you don't feel like clicking: 10/18 for RC1, 10/25 for an optional RC2 if needed, and 11/9 for final. |
