Firefox 1.0.5

[JellyWorld]

It's been out for several hours already, so most of you probably know, for those who don't, well now you do.

EDIT: just like to mention that the dear park alpha 2 has been released also. Link

Rather than create a new thread every week, I think I'll bump this to add that Firefox 1.0.6 is out. Some compatibility issues with extensions and themes fixed I believe.

I was really lucky in that all my extensions worked when i went from dear park alpha 1 to 2.

The FF website says it's 1.0.6...

hmm why didn't I see an update icon on the browser? did they add any major changes?

 

[duffers20]

I believe that 1.0.6 was released very recently.

You cant actually update firefox can you? You jsut have to redl then exe installer? Or can you actually update now?

 

[Chris D]

Redownload the exe and install.

 

[duffers20]

I think they used to download the exe to the desktop before when you updated through the browser, but I havent done it through that way in a long time because of it messing up extensions and themes, so I tend to download the exe and back up the profile and install the latest version again
