monofonik Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Mozilla.org is pushing to copyright the Firefox name. Looks like this is it for name changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAcOdIn Veteran Posted February 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2004 Everything's pretty good so far. Only problem I have is tabbed browsing extensions not working but it's not even one day into it's release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redestium Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I see they didn't fix this bug (it's been one for a while now)... :cry: A-Z sort order for the bookmark menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercuryx013 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Noticed that yesterday also. Tried to download it then so I could explain to my bro how to set up the mail. Sure hope the browser is faster than the site!! Although after I get it and set him up, I'm removing it. Prefer Opera WAY more!!Edit: Am I seeing correctly? There is NO e-mail in this browser? POS!! Click, uninstalled!! Firefox is a standalone web browser. Thunderbird is its sister mail application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji@nBing Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 hrm , iwas out all weekend. just downloaded new 0.8 firefox. installed it...but where the heck did my fwd/back buttons go? they simply disappeared... :( ur probably using a custom theme. 0.8 doesn't support the old themes. u'll have to use the default theme for now untill authors update it. see my post a bit above for a link that has some 0.8 themes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Venom Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I see they didn't fix this bug (it's been one for a while now)... :cry: A-Z sort order for the bookmark menu. Actually, this option has been in it for a long time. You just didn't see it. If you click on Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks, you'll be presented with a window. In the menu in this new window (the bookmark manager), choose View -> A>Z Sort Order, now your bookmarks (and folders) will be sorted alphabetically.

mAcOdIn Veteran Posted February 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2004 That way of sorting doesn't count in my opinion. What they need is a way to sort which leaves all the folders at the top but sorts the links by A-Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puful3tu Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Quote from Mozilla Firefox Release Notes: First, if you are running an old version of Firebird or Phoenix, visit the Extensions panel in Tools, Options and disable all of your extensions. If you cannot disable extensions, you must create a new profile before upgrading to Firefox 0.8. If you do not do this, your browser may not work, and you may receive messages like "Cannot create XBL Binding for Browser" or "Cannot create Browser Instance". You must now look for newer versions of your extensions that are described explicitly as being compatible with Firefox 0.8. Hope this solves some problems. Great browser btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
