Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2 Released


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the news!

Is it better to use the auto-update or uninstall the previous version and do a clean install...or does it not really matter?  :pinch:

I don't know. I've always just downloaded and installed the new one over the old one. No problems! :rofl:

Ok, now go into your control panel, add/remove programs and see if you have a double/triple installations. 1.0, 1.01 and now also 1.02

Ah, you're right about that!  But I haven't had any problems!  :rofl:

Yea, All I did was simply backed up my C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla directory (Just incase ;)).

Headed over to Add/remove and just uninstalled the first installation i saw. Then went into Registry and did a search for Mozilla. Deleted everything that popped up.

Back to Add/Remove i went. Removed all previous remaining instalations.

Installed and Wallah! The damn thing ran flawlessly. Picking up where my previous installation left off. Plugins all work fine. Didn't even have to copy any files back from backed up folder. :)

here's a tip:

If the additional versions of Firefox in the Add/Remove programs bothers you, then you can go into the registry and delete the older keys such as:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (1.0.1)"

I have been doing that because I didnt like seeing several entries of older Firefox versions in my list. It may bother some people, other people may not care at all but if you do there is a fix. Hopefully the Mozilla Team will fix this soon! I love my regedit. :D
