so now that firefox 1.0 is out, should i upgrade my 0.9.2 to 1.0? would there be compatibility issues with older plugins? is 1.0 very buggy? am i better off with 0.9.2? ? ?

Just do it.

I had one plugin that didn't work with 1.0, DownloadWith. Ohterwise no problems.

   Firefox1.0PR you will need to uninstall old Plugins + themes as they wont work in 1.0PR . but you might wanna wait for final which i think gets released in November the 8th or 9th

Let me clarify something, this is NOT Firefox 1.0 (it comes out on November 9th like Halo 2 ) the current release is Firefox 1.0PR (the semi-finished version).

But either way, DO upgrade.

gahhhhhhh i just upgraded an hour ago and i ran into SO MANY PROBLEMS!!!!

first after installation, i tried to run firefox and got an error saying not to use netscape's java plugin for IE, after quite a bit of researching, it turns out that it was because i used a plugin to change the agent switcher string, after A LOT MORE googling, finally found a solution after 30+mins

then when it finally loads, half of my extensions could be updated automatically (i have about 30), another half of what's left had to be manually updated. The rest do not have a compatible version so i lost. So of those plugins that i lost i don't care about, but there are a few which i really depend on such as the "session saver" which when starting firefox opens the tabs which you have up when you last close firefox

i feel so mad

Im still using 0.9.2 im waiting for 1.0 final to be released on the 9th.

I would say yes install 1.0PR, but since the 1.0 is coming out in a couple of weeks, I guess it would probably be wise to wait until then.

yes upgrade i belive all upgrade are "upgrades" u should download it

Thats no longer necesary to do, as the installer does that automatically then searches for an update.
