Firefox 0.9.1 (New Release)

[Seven7]

Only for Windows as the issue does not affect Linux or Macintosh users.

Firefox 0.9.2 is now out (as one of the three fixes) to the fix the new Windows shell: security vulnerability reported. Also Thunderbird 0.7.2 and Mozilla 1.7.1

* Info and first two fixes can be found at: http://www.mozilla.org/security/shell.html

The third alternative is to set the pref network.protocol-handler.external.shell in about:config to false to remove the exploit. (This will only set it on your current profile, if you have more than one profile, or could be creating more, you should use the XPI or the updated build.)

And a reminder before upgrading...BACK UP YOUR BOOKMARKS just in case. I remember last time there was many complaints of bookmarks disappearing. There is your warning

*edit*
Uninstalled 0.9 and installed 0.9.1 and no problems installing.

When you uninstall 0.9, at the very end, XP will ask "There is a folder leftover do you want to delete it"...SAY NO. As far as i can tell from where it is, thats where bookmarks and your personal profile is stored and thats where 0.9.1 will pickup your old settings

Ok, Seven. Back at Firefox 0.8 i had a extention that let me make a new toolbar, and then put that toolbar on bottom, left, or right side. With 0.9+ i cant find that extention anymore. i make a new toolbar and it only ontop.

So, do you know where i can find the extention or a little bit of code to do what i want?
i want to be able to put a toolbar going down the left side of the screen and add whatever icons i want to it.

[EDIT] woot, i found it on that other extention site you listed earlier. it was 'Toobar Enhancements"

file new tab will open a new tab.

after that goto the options and turn off hide tab bar when only 1 tab is open
that'll make the tab bar stay opened and you can just double click that bar to open a new window.



as i said. it comes bare. you download the options you want. it doesnt come loaded with them. Opera does.

and i recommend customizing the toolbars and adding the icons you want. i tend to make a new tool bar just for the address line.

then download a new theme and the new options. it takes some getting used to. thats why many download it, try it once and say its nothing special and they like IE just as much.... its because they dont take the time to actually learn whats differnt.

personally my fav theme is Qute, looks like firefox 0.8 instead of the new 0.9 look
