FireFox 0.9 final just released! by KeyStorm on 06-15-2004 at 09:20 PM
Mozilla released today Firefox 0.9 to the wide public.
They have improved the UI, the extension managing (allowing you to have them autoupdated), and done other technical imprivements.
More info @ Mozilla Firefox' oficial website and Press release for quick reviewing
(There are many Firefox fans in here, so I thought this would be interesting for all you guys 
)

Boo on Keystorm, I was just about to post this 
. One of the best features that comes with this version, I believe, is that you can import settings/cache/favorties from Firefox 0.8 and IE.
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by bach_m on 06-15-2004 at 09:28 PM
already got it! and love it!
the themes are kinda being wierd, so u need to DL them to ur hard drive and drag them into the theme windows to install them.

But it nicely and softly took my 0.8 preferences
Remember to uninstall Firefox 0.8 before installing 0.9 if you're about to use the same folder as 0.8.

I just looked an Firefox is using an amazing amount of memory. 44MB. All I have open is this site, is this just from 0.9 or has it always been this high and I never noticed it? (MSN is only using 21MB)
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by bach_m on 06-15-2004 at 10:31 PM
i think this version i a bit slow. i'm sure the nightly in a few days will be better

It didn't bring mine in when I went from IE to 0.8

It's 18Mib, here, although I have some plugins, so it might be 2Mib less.
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by bach_m on 06-15-2004 at 11:27 PM
i just rebooted, and it seems much faster.
still using 26MB tho...
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by Kryptonate on 06-16-2004 at 01:51 PM
I installed it and it looked kinda screwed . My RSS Reader wouldn't go away if I wanted it too. My bookmarks toolbar folder doesn't show anymore, if I press the home button he always goes to the startpage of Firefox altough it says in the options to go to localhost. If I rightclick the bookmarks toolbar I just get a small square, I can't access "File", "Edit" and so on anymore when I press "Done". I uninstalled, rebooted, downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled but it still is the same . I'll try to delete everything involving Firefox and hope it works.

Catalan 0.9 version is still not released! 
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by Stigmata on 06-16-2004 at 04:00 PM
beta theme in 8
edit : best theme -> Noia 2 kick ass theme
seems alright though
still no icon in the taskbar for me 
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by Millenium_edition on 06-16-2004 at 05:03 PM
i have the same problem as jackass_wanabe
well, you get used to it.
i like the new icons
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by dotNorma on 06-16-2004 at 05:05 PM
I installed it yesterday. But I had an Icandy Junior Skin and I lost it during installation and now it won't let me re-install it
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by GiantSpider on 06-16-2004 at 05:13 PM
I thought this was released a while ago ? Tryed to download but I couldn't so i guess it wasn't. Is there a way to defualt open all new pages in tabs?
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by Kryptonate on 06-16-2004 at 05:16 PM
well, my problem is solved. I had to delete the folder "Firefox" under C:\Documents and settings\*username*\Application Data\Mozilla\, then it all works . Luckely I copied the bookmarks.html first .
I like what they did with the tabbrowsing. The new layout isn't bad either and as for the memory usage, I have atm 41 mb .

Edit: I tested it and it doesn't show in the themes list. Perhaps it's not for 0.9, it will probably be updated.

To install skins click the "Download skin" link on the page, NOT the "Install Skin" link and it should save a .jar. Then open the Themes window and drag and drop the .jar to the window.
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by kao on 06-16-2004 at 09:57 PM
0.9 sounds buggy to me, so im going to stick with 0.8... it all works fine so i dont care really
0.8 is using 43mb RAM for me atm, with 5 tabs open
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by KeyStorm on 06-16-2004 at 10:56 PM
23 tabs -> 75Mib
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by Millenium_edition on 06-17-2004 at 10:49 AM

Lol, just pressed CTRL-ALT-DEL to see how much my FireFox was using, guess what? IE uses way more than firefox in my case
IE 6 with 1 window open
FF 0.9 with 1 window (1 tab)

new extension manager, new theme manager, faster,
there are fewer features as we aproach 1.0, as these releases foccus mainly on bugs and speed.

Multirow, auto-open in tabs, autoreload, dragging, grouping, multi-open/close... and a looong etc.
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by Kryptonate on 06-18-2004 at 01:52 PM
I preffered the old taskbar icon instead of the new blue one .
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by KeyStorm on 06-18-2004 at 02:16 PM
Old taskbar icon, I can't see any difference. But anyway, I liked old GUI buttons way better than these 2D ones
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by Kryptonate on 06-18-2004 at 02:26 PM
the new one (on my pc at least ):

it's because we're on 98/ME/95. On xp this is fixed.

I'm using .9 now.... this rocks! 
(i have no idea what the banana code is... )
weehee i was right
RE: FireFox 0.9 final just released! by .blade// on 06-19-2004 at 01:55 AM
I was able to find a theme about 90% the same as the ff 0.8 one.
also: I like the new prompt when you try to close a window with multiple tabs open..
BTW, some sites that didn't work right on 0.8 now work on 0.9 such as http://www.mcdonalds.ca (.aspx)
multiple "minor" bugs fixed and some problems when opening a download file directly were fixed. Also, something REALLY minor, a button that allows you to open a new tab was added to the customization menu

It always was, but it wasn't by default, you could choose it among others in the customization panel
