Has anyone tried the Firefox 1.0 preview?.................................

I'm currently using 0.9.2, and was wondering if there was any huge differences between the two versions?

1. i just downloaded firefox

a couple days ago when i saw all the gahing and gooing here at du, but i've been extremely unimpressed.

just now, it crashed on me, and i can never watch video using it, always gives me an error message. so i've switched back to ie.

2. Running it here on Linux.

Right now. as I type. Works great. Also works great on all the Windows boxen I install it on.

Can't say I have ever seen a Mozilla product crash, actually...

4. I'm staying with 0.9.2

for a while longer. I have heard some of my favorite xtras won't work with new version.

5. I agree with you..........

I am completely happy with 0.9.2 and maybe I'll upgrade when it isn't a "preview" anymore.

Its funny. I haven't had any of the problems with Firefox that some folks cite. Maybe I'm just a bare-bones kinda web surfer.

6. I haven't had any problems at all with 1.0

any chance for a synopsis on what the problems have been?

8. Check out the first reply.............

that's pretty typical of the criticisms I've heard. Some folks have also had problems with FF loading Java applets, but there is an extension out for Java. Others report frequent crashes.

However, I'm really happy with FF and am doubly pleased to not support Bill Gates any more than I gotta.

edit: sorry, I thought you were taking about FF in general, Nomad has the more apropos reply.

7. Mozilla Releases FireFox Security Update

Mozilla Releases FireFox Security Update

http://enterprise-linux-it.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_title=Mozilla-Releases-FireFox-Security-Update&story_id=27338&category=opensrc

Mozilla Foundation issued a security patch to fix a potential vulnerability in its recently released FireFox open-source Internet browser. The organization says holes are inevitable; what matters is how software developers handle them.

After more than two million downloads and much hoopla in the open-source community, the new preview release of the Mozilla Foundation's FireFox browser has hit a security snag.
On Friday, the organization issued an announcement and a security patch to fix a hole that could allow hackers to dupe users into saving unwanted files or deleting wanted files.

10. i used to use safari

but now use firefox exclusively at home. at school i'm forced to use the mediocrity that is internet explorer

ive had a few problems with firefox not installing extensions and themes properly, and its only crashed once since ive gotten it. i cant wait until it gets farther along.

11. It's not bad

... seems to work well and is relatively stable. I don't know if it warrants an upgrade if you aren't currently experiencing any problems with an older version.
