What's New

Here's what's new in this release of Firefox:

    * New Default Theme

      An updated Default Theme now presents a uniform appearance across all three platforms - a new crisp, clear look for Windows users. Finetuning for GNOME will follow in future releases.
    * Comprehensive Data Migration

      Switching to Firefox has never been easier now that Firefox imports data like Favorites, History, Settings, Cookies and Passwords from Internet Explorer. Firefox can also import from Mozilla 1.x, Netscape 4.x, 6.x and 7.x, and Opera. MacOS X and Linux migrators for browsers like Safari, OmniWeb, Konqueror etc. will arrive in future releases.
    * Extension/Theme Manager

      New Extension and Theme Managers provide a convenient way to manage and update your add-ons. SmartUpdate also notifies you of updates to Firefox.
    * Smaller Download

      Windows users will find Firefox is now only 4.6MB to download.
    * Help

      A new online help system is available
    * Lots of bug fixes and improvements

      Copy Image, the ability to delete individual items from Autocomplete lists, SMB/SFTP support on GNOME via gnome-vfs, better Bookmarks, Search and many other refinements fine tune the browsing experience.

Oh, if there only was an Amigoid version.. :-)

[Iggy_Drougge]

Yes, because then it would actually be relevant.

[Calen]

Yes, because then it would actually be relevant.

Alot of users here use this fine browser and it's available on various OS's, sadly not Amiga but to me it's still relevant enough to post as news.

:roll:

[Mr.Carlito]

Where the Amiga remains version?

[odin]

Still on 0.6.1 here. O.8 was mighty unstable.

[amigamad]

Can it be instaled over an existing mozzila firefox 0.8 instalation i use mozzila a lot now its my favorite browser. :-)

Bugger --- couldn't they have done that one week earlier? That's when I started building a firefox/linux based kiosk system with an internet connection.

I guess if the customer actually buys it (currently we are just doing 6 prototypes), I'll have to update everything to the new version. *sigh*

[whabang]

Baah! I've been using it since yesterday! :-)
(It works perfectly, BTW)

@amigamad
Yes it can, but you will have to move your user profile manually, or create a new one. There is no way of importing your 0.8 profile automatically. Just moving the directory and moving an .ini-file solves this, though.

[baderman]

i've just instaled it, and, it works great, really great... and, what's importand, everything imported great from Netscape 7.1. In one word: LUX  :-D

[JamesR]

There's an Amizilla in the works at SourceForge.net, so it is relevant.

[HopperJF]

I didn't think anything would top Camino.. but this is so faster and nicer to use.
Makes web browsing a pleasure.  :-D

(MacOS X Version)

edit: it has crashed twice tonight, randomly quitting.
Hmmm... not all that stable, but perhaps bearable.

[Methuselas]

O.8 was mighty unstable.

That's an understatment. It's crashing all the time on me. I LOVE it. TABs on browsers are the SH!T! :-D

[mikeymike]

I've installed 0.8 on a number of machines and never had any stability issues.  I'm not going to ask what the heck Methuselas is on about :-)
