PSA: Firefox 1.0 is out NOW (11/09/2004)

This will probably be the Mozilla organization's biggest day in quite some time (possibly bigger than the Mozilla 1.0 launch, due to the full-page NYT ad). Minutes after it's released, it'll probably be on C|Net, Slashdot, and millions of blogs around the world.

Personally, I'm not counting on accessing the site until tomorrow night. Good luck, and POST REVIEWS!

Is this drasticly different from the 1.0PR? If they've finally fixed the bookmark bug, I'd be happy.

So what exactly is going to be different between this and the 1.0PR?

Thanks for the heads up!

Some people (it seems to be completly random) have a problem with bookmarks where Firefox deletes your bookmarks every time you exit the program. I didn't have the problem, then I reinstalled it and it cropped up for me.

It's very annoying and the #1 reason I still use IE for some sites.

check the attributes of the bookmarks file and make sure it isn't set to read only...

i guess that wouldn't delete it though... hmmm...

 

Sure to have some great bugs.
I'll wait for the guinea pigs to work with it.

 

[Kelvrick]

Oh well. I'll still be up at that time. Looks like I can dl at release.

The latest version on the FTP is:

firefox-1.0.en-US.win32.installer.exe 08-Nov-2004 09:41 4.7M

I wonder if this will turn out to be the one released tomorrow. I guess I'll compare the MD5 hash of tomorrow's release with that of this version.

If I download this at midnight, does that make me 11/10 on the geek-o-meter?
