LeAnn Rimes My Angel 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2005 To some this may seem a bit late. Firefox has released a new version that covers several critical issues, and adds more stability. It is a wonderful alternative to Internet Exploer, and offers (in my opinion) more security because it blocks most spyware.Article: http://website-archive.mozilla.org/www.mozilla.org/firefox_releasenotes/en-US/firefox/releases/1.0.7.htmlFixes: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/Download: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyssen 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2005 Anyone who has a recent version of Firefox (from about 1.0.2-3 I think) should get automatic notifications of the availability of new versions from Firefox itself (as well as updates to extensions and themes).

mayank 2 Report post Posted September 29, 2005 Yeah that's right everyone get the notification of the availability of the of any critical update and even updates of the extensions and themes which is one of the very good feature that it notifies you about the critical updates. That is the reason why Firefox is becoming hot favourite of most of the people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted September 29, 2005 The Firefox 1.7 is a better browser than the Mozilla version that I have been using as well. It is crisper on the display and faster for line speeds. Of course, if you are able to apply the "turbo-charging" techniques described in the tutorial section here at Xisto, it is even better performance.The Tutorial is very easy to follow and it greatly increases the capabilities of the browsers. It even worked on the Mozilla Suite ver 1.7.11, because they are the same engine underneath. So,I am happy with the Mozilla/Firefox product. I hope they continue to supply good stuff at the right price... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dooga 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 I have no idea what they put in the new 1.0.X versionsThis makes me think why Internet Explorer doesn't come up with updates that often. I mean, Opera, Avant, Firefox, they all have automatic updates... unless the Windows (or Microsoft) Update updates IE for you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyssen 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 I have no idea what they put in the new 1.0.X versionsThis makes me think why Internet Explorer doesn't come up with updates that often. I mean, Opera, Avant, Firefox, they all have automatic updates... unless the Windows (or Microsoft) Update updates IE for you.The new versions are usually fixing security problems. The reason why IE isn't updated that often is because Microsoft either are unable to produce fixes that quickly or simply don't care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[i]_R_Crazy_Idiot 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 I have not used Firefox in a long time. I went to Opera for a while, then I realized how slow it renders pages. Then I went to the IE beta. After coming back, I realize how much faster this really is. Hmm, why did I leave in the first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icemarle 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2005 Anything is better than Internet Explorer, that's for sure. For the past months, Firefox has been a bi overrated, but hey, it's free, and for a free thing that has all these features? What more can you say? Sure there could be some things that other commercial browsers can bypass, but nothing beats the free price! It's good to know that this new version will fix some known problems from 1.0.6. For some reason, in 1.0.6, I can't view my Gmail. I had to go to *GASP* IE, to view it. Hopefully when I get this, my problems will finally be over.

dontmaimyourself 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 I'm currently using 1.5 Beta 2, which is or at least seems alot faster than 1.0.x, and has some cool features, the best being the streamlined updates system which now allows you to download patches of a few 100KB instead of a 6MB file, which is good for us dial-up folk. Firefox 1.5 Beta 2: Home: http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/index.html Download (Windows, English): http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (its the link from the Firefox project homepage, but if you dont trust me feel free to click it on Mozilla's site) Release Notes: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/products/ If your using Firefox 1.0.x I would personally strongly recommend you at least try out 1.5 Beta 2, ok so its pretty much the same its just faster and it seems more stable.
