Firefox / Mozilla Release Chart

Here
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

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.

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.

Ben Goodger, 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.
