Firefox 1.5 HOOZAH!

[enjoi]

This version is finally out and well it is much better. From stupid stuff (RSS button goes IN THE URL BAR!) to important things (speed of the browser, starting up and browsing.)

Unfortunately though the memory leak problem is not fixed (which is lame, but memory leakages are a tough problem to fix.

I would say theres no better time than now to get it :)

Que?

Well i will share with you some awesome new extensions i have found.
1. Scroll anywhere - use your right mouse button as a scroll wheel and welll scroll anywhere. Much faster/accurate than your scroll wheel.
2. Tab Mix Plus - Undo closed tabs! More of a Safari like interface.

I just downloaded it and I noticed it told me I can't use the tweak network extension. If I try to re-download tweak network will it work? It probably won't make much of a difference because the new version is considerably faster than the older one.

Got it last night before it went public :)


I have noticed a speed increase.

One new awesome extension I found is IE Tab. It's like IE view, but instead of opening up the IE browser, it opens up IE in a tab.


And if some of your extensions don't work, there is a way to fix that.

Find the extension online, right click the install link, click 'Save Link As...'. Save it, then open up the file in some type of archive program(winzip, winrar, etc.). Extract the install.rdf to your desktop, and open it up in notepad. Find the line that looks like this:
<em:maxVersion>1.6a2</em:maxVersion>

and change the value in between the xml tags to 1.6a2. After you've done that, save the file, and drag it back into the archive program. Finally, drag the file itself(the xpi file) literally into firefox. It should install automatically.

what is the memory leak problem?

[Palmettolax45]

i guess im typing on it now i downloaded it but i cant tell the difference is there a way to tell also how can i do the IE tab thing?

[JoshM]

IE tab is an extension.

Did you download and install it?



By the way, if you had RC3 installed, it's the same thing as 1.5

If I download it now will I still have all my tabs saved up on the top?

yes your saved tabs will still be there.

enjoi or joshM, cant find a stop/reload button (the one that combines them to one) if you know of one could you post a link. If not i'll try Josh's method.

[Palmettolax45]

yeah i installed it

[nesll234]

just downloaded it right now. So much better :clap:

[Orange]

I don't notice a difference and this is coming from 1.0. I don't know anything about the settings or extras or what to change and what not.

[KnightsLAXDad]

I have to laugh. I clicked on the little red update button and it came back with a critical update to 1.0.7. lol

[slinkyspine]

I got hooked up with the Pimpzilla theme and im good

[Frndlefire]

Meh, I'm pleased with Safari

There's quite a few(a ton) of bug fixes and security updates. Speed is also increased. You should really download each update mozilla releases.


I don' tknow what stop/reload button you're talking about.

[enjoi]

I suggest http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=1218

Most of the Firefox extension places though are getting sacked because of all the new people. Good luck if you can get in.
