SnowMan · 02-09-2004, 06:14 PM

Firebird 0.8 has been renamed to FireFox 0.8 and released. Thought some of you would be interested.

can't connect to mozilla's ftp to download.

nevermind got in, and more importantly with a fast DL speed.

REALLY great upgrade. I love it. It's even faster than Firebird!

SnowMan · 02-09-2004, 07:38 PM

Yea, their FTP is hammered, probably.

Yup great upgrade, I really like it so far, and now that the tabbrowser extension is available, it just got way better.

Yeah, really great. I now have to do an install instead of just unzipping it into whatever folder I like.. and after installing it, the thing won't run since it has no "XBL binding." Whatever the hell that means.. looks like I'm still sticking with Explorer. :P

Prior to installing, you have to disable all your extensions or create a new profile.

So I have to create a new profile in Windows, and use that for FireFox?

Damnit, I just installed Firebird last week and I already need to update it.

Well worth it though.

I didn't and it works perfectly.

My wife likes to listen to music on: launch.yahoo.com/

However, when she tries to load a radio station, the pop-up says, "Sorry we don't support Netscape 6."

Is there something I can do about this, or is there nothing I can do?

rjolley · 02-09-2004, 09:49 PM

That's my one use for IE...launch.yahoo.com. If there's a way to play them in Mozilla, I'd love to know.

Aftre searching around on their site, I found the profile thing.. it works now for me, thanks for the help.

In case anyone else gets this error: go to the properties of the browser's shortcut, and put a "-p" (without the quotes) in the target field, after "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" or whatever you called the setup folder.

The culprit is usually TabBrowser Extensions. There is a new version out which works with FireFox. Google for it, as the standard place to get extensions seems to be down.

I hate, hate, hate Firefox 0.8.

Their new download manager is awful but there is no way you can avoid using it, and the damn browser will not let me download something when I try to "Save link to disk".
