Firefox 0.9.1 (New Release) - Page 2

If I want to open a link in a new tab I just click the link with my mouse-wheel button (I realize not everybody has one, but if you do, it works).

So, on my PC I'm using version 0.8. Is there anything real significant in 0.9.1 that I should update for?

*Bump* Update

New Release/ fixes for Windows only.

See first post.

Hey hey. I don't know what else 0.9.2 added, but the security vulnerability you're talking about can also be fixed with this extension:

http://update.mozilla.org/extensions...id=154&vid=263

So, there may be no need to update at all, just install the extension and you'll be as safe as anybody else.

This link has the first two options of updating: http://www.mozilla.org/security/shell.html

I didn't say you needed to install a new build as in 0.9.2 to fix this. There are three options to fixing this:

1. The new 0.9.2 build

2. ShellBlock 1.0 extension (which is really not a extension depsite the .xpi but a small patch of code so it fixed it for all Firefox profiles)

3. changing the pref in about:config as I posted in first post. ( only for the Firefox profile you were using at time)

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.)

Besides right now I am safe compared to the Firefox users on Windows as I am using Firefox on linux.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.0+ (don't let the 0.9.0+ fool you as it is much more updated then 0.9.1 or 0.9.2)

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"

Ok I got FF.

Let's see if spyware still bothers me now.

Just thought I'd let you guys know I got my dad nearly converted to FireFox. After hte download and install, I showed him the basics with FF and within a minute he already loved it. Then when we got to extensions and themes (not to mention showing him how tabs work), I know I had another successful conversion. Mind that my dad is only 36 (I think

) so he's still computer saavy but never messed with FF until he saw me use it.

I think the Adblock extension put him over the edge on sticking with FF

The only thing i dont like about FF is not so much about FF itself, its just that it cant read the coding for some sites, and my IE doesnt work, so im screwed....damn..

Jonbo298 · 07-27-2004, 02:28 AM

If it can't read the coding, then it means the site was poorly coded. Most sites nowadays support more then 1 browser. But some still think IE is the only browser used

Lets say I was wanting to uninstall and install firefox, and I wanted to back up my bookmarks. What file to I save to do this?

Thanks.

Jonbo298 · 08-01-2004, 08:59 PM

Click Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks. Then click File and Export..save the bookmarks file and then when you reinstall firefox, same 2 steps and then click File and Import and point it to the backed up bookmarks you made a few minutes ago

Vampyr · 08-01-2004, 09:22 PM

Thanks alot.

My firefox is acting kinda wierd, so I want to reinstall but I didnt want to lose my bookmarks. (I already did that once...)

And have some rep.
