Jesus, I didn't have the time to test out 0.9 yet... :eek:

[ghenry]

Oh yeah, sorry. New icons too.

[ghaefb]

Yep, I like new icons better.
But I use Mostly Crystal theme anyway :p

[Picomp314]

i use the Qute theme, i like it
check out the Saferfox theme its pretty cool, kind of an iTunes theme i think

Is anyone else waiting for the official fedora.us packages like me? Or am I just being a coward...

[ghaefb]

I think you'r being a coward :p
no really, firefox-installer is great, try it.

[ewdi]

yeha, the new installer works better

[fjleal]

The new installer works very well. First of all, it doesn't tell you to close your open Windows programs anymore :D. Secondly, if you install in the same directory where a previous version or FireFox is located, it'll ask you to click a button to delete it and install the new version. Well done.

Anybody having problems with loading java applets

It just shutdown firefox and even mozilla. Also while checking synaptic package management, it reports j2re as been obsolete. Any ideas I also tried the beta from java.sun.com

I gave up on the RPM versions of Firefox. They always ask me twice if I want to save a password. The offical tarballs from Mozilla only ask once. I filed a Bugzilla report, but I'm not sure if they fixed it yet.

Also, it takes so long for RPMs to appear after each release and I'm impatient. I also think the new installer works great.

I confirm that the installer of Firefox works very well on FC2. There's also a great news, mouse with 5 buttons now works very well with Firefox.

For that, you have to edit your xorg.conf file to tell X.org you have a mouse with 5 buttons (+2 for the wheel):
# ************************************************** ********************
#
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
#
# ************************************************** ********************
Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"

EndSection

Then you have to write a script named /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/mouse to put the mouse buttons in the right order:
#!/bin/sh
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
and don't forget to set the script executable:
chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/mouse

Now you can restart X.org, and enjoy your 5-button mouse, especially the two side buttons that act like backward/forward buttons.

About the rpms: see my post in the previous firefox/thunderbird thread: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=80102

I'm now running the RPM release of Firefox 0.9.1 from fedora.us - see here:
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/

Seems to work fine on FC2 and once I'd got FirefoxModern, LiveHTTPHeaders and WebDeveloper installed, I'm a happy bunny :)

Of course, it would be nice if they'd release 0.9.2 as an RPM, but at least I finally get to see the new extension manager after being stuck on the Firefox 0.8 RPM for sooo long.
