Mozilla Firefox 1.0 final

Yep, I actually think they were nuts releasing it now. The extensions
problem is an easy one to workaround, IF YOU KNOW HOW. But, the general
population does NOT KNOW HOW.

There is also the issue with memory clean up. FF is not doing that and
they are aware of the problem and have been for a long time.

I installed 1.0 on my machine and shortly after when I clicked on minimize
or close buttons the buttons became indented but nothing happened! I had to
use keyboard shortcuts and promptly uninstalled it. Running on XP Pro SP2.

I do know how to do the "workaround" thing (editing edit the

file, making the needed change, then replace the un-edited file
with the
freshly-edited). However......

That's not the workaround that I do. I change one about:config setting.

Perhaps tell us which one? :-)
 
It's not recommended. app.extensions.version from 1.0 to 0.9. I use very
few extensions.

Fx 1.0 is ready for prime time. I'm surprised you'd expected all the
extension authors to have their work up-to-date, though. If you find
those 22 not-yet-ready extensions indispensable, I guess you'll have to
wait on those 22 authors. You'll have this wait with each new release.

It's hard to believe anyone would use 22 extensions.. I'm using 0 and
am quite happy with 1.0. Oh well..

Fyi; the last half-dozen or so pre-rel's did not trouble me so much as this
Final. Then again, you're right, about the extensions being updated (or lack of
same); perhaps we should expect a coding-rush in the not-too-distant future.

Dum-dum. Use URL shortener!!
http://snurl.com
http://tinyurl.com

I hate this URL shorteners... because:

Someone posts a link:

http://averybiglink.com/?averyveryveryverybig=101001101001010101010101010101010
10101010

Someone decides to make a URL short, but instead of creating to this site, he
can create URL to a totally unrelated site.

I didn't expect any extensions. What I expected was for the browser to
work and not lock up my computer. It failed my expectations.

I will wait a week or so, currently there are only 77 extensions for
1.0, and almost none of the ones I use are in that list, as for 1.0PR
there where 177.

Some patience, 1.0PR works great too = :-))

Is it possible that that it's the dreaded "Operator Error"?

I dislike them also. I don't understand why people who feel the
need to use them don't simply switch to a newsreader which doesn't
wrap on send.

I often use shorl.com, but I always post both links, long and short.
Should keep everybody happy.

Yes, but how often does this happen? It's never happened to me. But either
way, I don't care.

I'm probably using that many myself. IMO, it's a much better, more
customizable experience.

I have one profile that is running 60+ extensions. I used the trick
mentioned above to enable all extensions in 1.0 and as far as I can tell
there are no adverse side effects
