Thanks for the heads up

 

[screw3d]

Any idea on what the exact changes are?

Edit: Never mind found it here

 

[Cheetah8799]

I was looking for the changelog, but couldn't get the darn mozilla forums to load. Still won't load for me... not sure why...

 

[screw3d]

Yeah it's been loading real slow these days.. getting lots of time-outs too :frown:

Any way when you are browsing a passworded site (like a forum (not Anandtech)) that you can stop it poping up a message asking if you are sure it's the page you want to visit?
It says authentication is no trequired and askes me every time I browse anywhere.
Not an issue with Anandtech forums though, thank god.

Hmm? I have never seen that dialog box before..

Same here, I've never heard of a message like that. Have you checked your system for spyware?

I only got the message after I upgraded to FF 0.9.1, was running 0.8 with no issues right beforehand. Same sites and everything, all profiles/psw's imported to 0.9.1.
Ran Ad-aware, only found 1 tracking cookie. (Gone now, but the problem is still there)

Might be due to using a usernamesw@site
I think that's the issue that makes it come up. Never did it in FF 0.8 though.

I went from 0.9.0 to 0.9.1 and it is still saying I need to update, it keeps popping up and there is an icon on the status bar to the lower right that says I need to when I click on it. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[fs5]

what are the changes exactly? the forums are down, anybody have a list?

I'm most concerned about the slow down when you load a page with A LOT of pictures or a LARGE table.

I think that's regarding an update for one of the extensions you have installed. I got it as well.

Link doesn't work.

 

[Hadsus]

That first Link says these are the changes:

New in Firefox 0.9.1
- Extension Manager
- Theme Manager
- Data Migration/Import
- New Visual Theme
- Better Bookmarks
- Better Search
- Smaller Download
- Online Help

since ad block was removed from the Firefox extensions area you can find it here. The newest development build (39) works well in 0.9.1

Woah!

I tried it for a full day so far. Getting better.

But still a bit too buggy and sluggish yet.

Back to IE for now....but hoping 1.0 makes me switch for good!

 

[Indolent]

hrm, ever since I updated to .9 (and now .9.1), it won't let me put the "new window" button in the toolbar. I drag it there and it just dissapears. Tried it with a couple themes and it never works. wonder why...

Are you kidding me? buggy and sluggish? And IE is better?

I just installed last night and here's just a couple of observations:
Pros:
9.1 imports my "links" folder to my bookmarks toolbar
Cons:
1. it's slow to open compared to IE
2. try closing a tab that's displaying a .pdf file. Crash! You'll have to kill the application. I wish there was a .pdf plug-in just for Firefox.
