Firefox 1.0 Preview Release

[Nomad25055]

You can now download the Preview Release of FireFox 1.0 B). I have not done so myself as of yet because of the fact that not many if any of the .9 extensions work with it if I have not been fooled into believing wrong.

I'm using Firefox 1.9 right now...

Which is a completely seperate program. Firefox is the browser-only version of Mozilla, to put it simply. Wholly different than Mozilla.

So when is Firefox 1.0 (non-preview release) supposed to come out? I think I'll wait until then.

The goal is set for Nov. Hopefully we'll make it.

(Yes, that's right, 'we'! Since introducing my first bug into the code, someone has called me a developer!)

And, unless you're not using IE, don't wait for 1.0. Firefox has been better than IE forever and I've been recommending it for general usage since before 0.8 came out.

About extensions. The Flashplayer extension will work with it.
However I still have to use IE for any Java related sites (Like my Fantasy Football site).
Overall its running goods. I just keep losing my connection on my DSL for a minute or so then its fine, then after 15 mins it loses connection for another minute. Its a endless cycle. I dont know if this related to the Preview release or not. Any thoughts Quark. My DSL provider is Verizon. I thought about playing with my MTU settings.

Contains many of the latest versions of extensions, and also bothers to tell you if it's compataible with your version. I downloaded the extensions I used most, adblock and Tabbrowser Preferences, for 1.0 PR from there. It looks like they took care to quickly update the most popular ones. It seems to work pretty well. The mozilla update site seems not as good as of now.
