Firefox 1.0.1 Released

[Pogo]

Tried with Tweak Network Setting off and then with IE. Same result. I am lost cannot seem to update. Any more ideas? This seems crazy! Never saw such a problem.

 

[Pogo]

I checked my history as to where I cruised and found that when I thought I was downloading firefox while using IE, I was actually conneted to the below ftp address. Isn't that in Russia? Is something wrong here and how can I get to the right site and get this corrected? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

http://ftp.chg.ru/pub/WWW/mozilla/bouncer/firefox/win32/en-US/Firefox Setup 1.0.1.exe

 

[Pogo]

Please be careful with the above site, cause I do not want to cause anyone else any problems. I will stay the way I am until I hear form you guys. But please help me cause I am not knowledgable enough to deal with this on my own.

Pogo, are you going to the right site to download? The page you want to visit is http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/all.html and then pick the language and operating system that you need.

 

[Pogo]

Yes I am going to the right location. I start the download and the my machine does the download. The last one was from

http://trillian.cc.gatedr.edu/pub/mozilla.org/bouncer/firefox.win

I try to run th downlaoded file and I get that 7-zip error again.

Seems everytime I try to downlaod it comes from another location and I do not know if these locations are valid.

Sometimes when trying to download I am informed that the downlaod completed in a matter of 1 or 2 seconds when I know that all old version have been removed. I know this is not possible. This is making me crazy.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON ME GUYS!!!!

7-Zip is a compression program, right? What would that have to do with it? Isn't the installation package self-extracting? You could try uninstalling 7-Zip from your computer and then download Firefox again.

We seem to be making progress. I do not have 7-zip anything installed. Now I will find it, install it and then properly remove it. I do remember that I downloaded something like that in the past two weeks and due to not working removed it. Guess it may have sneezed during removal. Be back in a little while with more news.

o.k .. I made this my default browser. It looks toooooooooooooooooo sexy to not have as it Plus the little tweaks and ends they made to it helped me out .. I added view in ie extensioin incase a page I am viewing won't show ...

Johnny, did you just intall the new version over 1.0? Or did you uninstall the old one, then install 1.0? Just curious, because I was wondering if you can just install over the old one so as not to lose extensions and settings and what not. Thanks.

you made the right choice!!!

An update on my problem. I still cannot install any programs without the getting the 7-zip error. I installed 7zip and uninstalled with no change. Seems I am stuck with everything as is until I reformat the drive. I do not want to do that now cause everything is running fine. I am not loosing any bandwith, there is no spyware or any other problems, so I will leave it until I must reformat. Thanks guys for the help. Opened a work thingy with Microsoft over this and hope they can help, but I doubt it. THANKS AGIAN! Sorry to have busted into your positive post about FF1.1 I will stick with FF no matter what cause it is the best in my humble opinion.

That's how it's supposed to be. If you remember, the Mozilla servers used to get hammered everytime a new milestone build was released. This is just a way to spread out the bandwidth among multiple servers. Nothing to worry about.

Nice.

Installing over the existing version works fine, as long as you were using the 1.0 milestone build and not the latest nightlies. All themes, extensions, and other profile settings will be retained.

So this is not specifically related only to the Firefox installer then? Do you encounter the same error if you try to install any other application too? :s

Thanks, buddy. I appreciate that.

might wanna fix the links to the 1.01 download i redownloaded 1.00, pogo has the right link

Installing it over the old version worked great. I noticed that this has "some" activex in it. I have Symantec Client Secutiry installed. When I go this board for example, there is a pop up asking me to let ectivex go threw ..

Also, there is an extension called media player connectivity, it is pretty nice. It will allow you to view streaming media in external programs, things like WMP, Real Player, Quicktime, ect. More info about it can be found below:

The links Pogo posted are just random mirrors that the Mozilla servers redirect you to when you click the download link on their site. You should get 1.0.1 from the link I posted as well.

According to the site, the US English (en-us) version has been updated to 1.0.1, but the British English one still shows 1.0. Weird.

Man thats sweet news, I'm at Co-op right now, can't wait to get home and download this. Thanks.

Yeah,someone told me that earlier.I checked the one I installed and I'm definately still with 1.0 so looks like I gotta wait
