Havin_it Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I am not getting NEAR the Mozilla site (or mozillazine.org) for the last hour since I read the news. That's gotta be an encouraging sign...! I did manage to get it from here (link from OSNews article): http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/ Spread the word!

ChrisM Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I have just downloaded it from the mozilla/firefox web site without any probs I thought that I already had 1.0 - but it's a preview version apparantley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Yes... 1.0PR - meaning 'preview edition'. 1.0 is the really official version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 1.0 final seems more stable than the RC versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEberger Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 there were problems with stability before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 there were problems with stability before? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, in the RC versions. The Mozilla team did not exactly made a secret of the fact these were more 'testing' versions and people minding too much bugs should stick with 1.0PR until 1.0 Official would come out.

SoulSe Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 hmmm.... RSS.... great new start page... and no errors. This rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Got it a couple of hours ago. Took ages to get the page, and download painful at 18kps. Still can't get near the themes page Overall - funky and fast! And I do like that big green button (well, it is in Noia...). And did I mention fast?

yorneB Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Just did a fresh install on my Windows machine at work. Is it me, or is it a lot slower ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellis Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Just did a fresh install on my Windows machine at work. Is it me, or is it a lot slower ??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ahh, this is just due to the increased traffic of 10 million users all trying to download Firefox 1.0 today :P (It was a little congested at mozilla.org this morning, though.) I installed it at work today on Windows, and tonight on Linux, with no problems - settings migrated OK, and now Slashdot actually renders correctly on the first attempt so I'm happy.

AussieJohn Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 (edited) Our own great Telstra Bigpond here in Australia (yes I think it is great despite the views of some of the knockers), had it ready to download from its customer software services servers within minutes of it being released and already it has 27 downloads to Linux users and 224 to windows users and 11 to mac users. Windows ==== 224 Linux ======= 27 Mac ======== 11 Total so far === 262 I suspect that a lot of Telstra customers are only now starting to realize it is there to download now ( It is 9.46 PM AESDST ) [Australian Eastern Standard Daylight Saving Time] Go Firefox. Go ....... away.........Microsoft. Cheers. John. As of 11.30 PM AESDST the tally is now nearly 300. An extra 40 in about 2hrs.and mostly windows users. You would normally expect Linux users to be up tto date mostly. But it looks like the message is really getting out to the Windows users at last in a really big way. Almost tidal wave. A further update as a 2.30PM AESDT (12th Nov). I seems like Windows users are really getting the message. Windows=======441 Linux===========48 Mac============21 Total===========510 It is going great.

SpikeyKlitske Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 hm going to give it another try, sofar i only got issues with firefox, it clearly seemed to dislike me. Issues i had were for instance not to be able to click on links in emails and not being able to set it as the default browser. In the end I scrapped it and reverted back to mozilla.
