#1 Software Update Available When? by TechMason Reply to this message
Any ideas on when the Software Update functionality will be available to upgrade?
#4 That the only update? by nick0909 Reply to this message
Is the only change from 1.0.5 for the few broken extensions? If I don't use those extensions is there any reason to update? Also, why are the search bar entries in the program folder instead of my profile? I hate having to go delete the entries I don't ever use every time I reinstall, and adding those I like but aren't in by default when I do a clean/new install on a different system... seems like a personal profile type thing. -- "Come and see the violence inherent in the system."
#9 Re: That the only update? by Racer Reply to this message It will be possible to keep your search plugins in the profile in Firefox 1.1. So just wait for that, or head over for the Deer Park alpha 2 or nightly trunk build if you feel adventurous.
#16 Re: That the only update? by tseelee Reply to this message Google, Amazon and others paid to have their search engines included in the default builds. I assume they won't be happy if Firefox doesn't try to reinstall them every chance it gets. I'm glad to see that Firefox no longer deletes your own engines, though. About time!
Now the Other Systems and Languages page looks very fine, only few, Hebrew and Albanian 1.0.6 versions are at 1.0.4 level. Here in Finland MO's front page is offering only localized 'Firefox 1.0.6 for Windows, Finnish'. People who need English version can select that 'all' link.
#7 Re: Thanks ;-) by jml Reply to this message So, there is no typos or other errors at Hebrew versions, i.e. they don't refer to a wrong build etc. My point was that those (quite rare) localizations are just missing now and there is some 1.0.4 versions. All 1.0.6 versions at Other Systems and Languages page are bolded.
#10 Is there a changelog anywhere? by MarkHB Reply to this message
Can anyone point me to a real changelog showing bugzilla bug numbers for the update of Firefox from .05 to .06 ?
#11 Session Saver extension crashes 1.0.6 by chattr Reply to this message
I use Session Saver 0.2 When multiple windows with multiple tabs are open, quitting and restarting 1.0.6 (Linux en-US version) with `./run-mozilla.sh ./firefox &` in the directory created by untarring firefox-1.0.6.tar.gz crashes Firefox. I restart Firefox with `./run-mozilla.sh ./firefox &` and I get a Session Saver pop up after selelcting my profile, the pop up asking me if I want to continue (since my session is crashing). Clicking on 'continue', I get one of the windows with its multiple tabs. Other windows with multiple tabs are lost - they don't open. I've reported this to the extension author.
I've uninstalled Firefox 1.0.5, and now I can't install ANY version of Firefox. When I try, I get this error: en-US Language Pack: -208 INVALID_ARGUMENTS There is an old bug about this, but it's marked "Resolved".

#15 Re: Fanta (orange?) by roseman Reply to this message now if only more MS products would do this, then more people would switch :)
I've no plans to install Fx or TB 1.0.6. I've gotten update fatigue, although to be honest, if there were any security fixes in this update, I'd have been forced to download again.
#24 Re: I must profess that... by imforumman Reply to this message I have already updated all my installations, but... ... one of them is on dial-up, and if that were my only inet connection, i'd think twice as well. I'm no programming crack, so tell me if this is just not realistic, but: why isn't it possible to have the update function download patch files, that take the old exe and reuse most parts of it, only changing the parts that actually changed. I remember this being a common procedure way back in DOS times...
Or, the time it took to write that they'll be halfway to another update? Differences between apples and oranges I guess? ;) j/k I'm on my way to update now... Eyes-Only "L'Peau-Rouge"

A project of mine uses a Flash app that I can send and receive data from. I can still receive an xml string and parse it into an object but in the new update here I am now denied permission to access that object in any way citing the following error: Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to get property XMLDocument.firstChild' when calling method: [FlashIObject::evaluate]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "" data: no] I don't know if this is a new "security feature" or just a bug.
#25 Critical updates -- NOT by dmelhado54 Reply to this message
Is anyone else experiencing Firefox not knowing it has been upgraded? I installed 1.0.6, and as recommended, uninstalled 1.0.5 first, and now it keeps bugging me to grab a critical update. The update window opens, and 5 minutes later, a blank window appears, with the "install now" button active. There is nothing to install! Is there any setting to manually set so that this stops? It's really annoying. thanks
I know egg-SACTLY how you feel!!...I don't know how to get rid of it, either!!...MAKE THE RED CIRCLE/WHITE ARROW STOP!!
#27 Re: Critical updates -- NOT by dmelhado54 Reply to this message What I did was a total uninstall again -- this time making sure all Registry entries were deleted as well. There is an "install-wizard.txt" log that tells where it wrote to. Then I rebooted after the uninstall, then re-installed FF 1.0.6. That red circle remained until I shut it down and restarted it a couple of times, with waits between. Also, I made sure I had nothing else running when I re-installed. No idea why, but it did work, finally. Very annoying .. good to know someone else experienced it
I didn't go as far as to do all that you did but,..it FINALLY stopped!...don't know how!!...?? One of the MYSTERIES OF PROGRAMS!!!....yeah....thanks fur the post though!!
Captura de este artículo en Mozilla Firefox



Debido a errores en el código de programación, la Fundación Mozilla debió actualizar dos veces en dos semanas su navegador estrella Mozilla Firefox, y lanzó este jueves la versión 1.0.6. Así mismo, el cliente de correo electrónico Mozilla Thunderbird llegó a su versión 1.0.6 —saltándose varios números, pues la anterior había sido la versión 1.0.2—.

La versión 1.0.5, lanzada el pasado 14 de julio, deshabilitaba varias extensiones —funcionalidades adicionales hechas por terceros— que funcionaban normalmente en la versión 1.0.4, lanzada en mayo pasado. La 1.0.6 corrige las fallas y trae también algunas actualizaciones de seguridad.

La Fundación había pedido a los traductores parar su trabajo apenas salió la versión 1.0.5 en cuanto se descubrieron las fallas.

=== No habrá Firefox 1.1 ===
La tan esperada actualización mayor de Mozilla Firefox no saldrá antes de septiembre, y no llevará el número 1.1, sino 1.5. Según Tristan Nitot, presidente de Mozilla Europa, "lo que hemos estado haciendo es mejor que lo inicialmente planeado, así que en vez de llamarla 1.1, creemos que merece el nombre de 1.5".
