Firefox 1.0.1

[method77]

The much talked about open source browser has a new release out.

Changes:

-Improved stability

-International Domain Names are now displayed as punycode

-Several security fixes

Download. Ftp link which contains all platforms and languages. Expect it to be slow.

Do they recommed a complete uninstall, or is it ok to install over the top of a current installation?

It's a pain doing a complete uninstall of FireFox with stored passwords and custom settings for icons and stuff.

I don't know but you could visit the mozillazine forums and check

HTTP sources are dog shit slow at the moment.

FTP was dishing it out at around 300 kbps; not bad.

There are torrents available. I'd use those if you have broadband.

CNET and other download sites don't have this version yet.

The Register

...the latest Firefox release is essentially a minor update users moving up to 1.0.1 are advised to uninstall 1.0 first...

I just installed over the top.

I can't be bothered to redo everything now.

ken, i came across this on fileforum.........

or this apparently....... The best way to backup is to just go in application data and locate the main mozilla, firefox, or thunderbird folder and just copy them to someplace else. this will backup EVERY aspect of the programs. Bookmarks, plugins, toolbar layouts, email settings, saved local email. all of it. I just go in there once a week and make a rar file of those folders and store them on my second hard drive someplace. To restore you just copy em back into application data......
