whats the link to the extensions, I lost those when I switched. Everything else worked but that...)

edit* Found it...

 

[gonaads]

And the TabBrowserExtensions works with 0.9.1


Yeah!


For anyone that may want to experiment... Some may not work with 0.9.1... Test at your own risk.

Cool thing is if ya reinstall it works. Well it's workin for me... now. When I was usin 0.8 and I up-ed to 0.9 it wouldn't work no matter what I did.

At my work it (TabBrowserExtensions) worked but the AdBlock extension did not. That 'puter is still wierd. AdBlock still don't work.

I downloaded the ZIP file to install 0.9, and there is no install file, its just installed already, I was wondering how I can uninstall it then?

edit* I want to uninstall it because I liked 0.8 better, and some things worked with it that do not work with 0.9....

 

[gonaads]

Just go into Control Panel and do it that way.

 

[Not Bman]

no because the zip, unzip it too the folder that I wanted. Thats how it got installed. It dosent show up in Control Panel.

 

[gonaads]

There should be an UNINSTALL folder in the Firefox directory. Inside it is the uninstall thingy, just click on it.

If for some odd reason it is not there, then just rename the Firefox 0.9 directory to Old Firefox. Then go back to 0.8

 

[Not Bman]

GRRR, I can't delete the folder, I can't rename it. It says something is using it or blah, u know that error. I looked in the processes and everything, I can't see anything that is using it. ??

 

[Geffy]

reboot then try?

 

[Not Bman]

Sometimes the simplist things work. Thanks

 

[gonaads]

reboot then try?

Yep... That happened to me also. Anoying as hell.


I rebooted and boom. All is happy in the land of Silcon. Rename delete Rename and reinstall.

ok...i hav e had mozilla for baout a month now. today i go to use it and my favorites are gone. how do you import your IE favs back in there. when i installed the program it found them for me automatically. i loked in the directory to see if there was a bookmark folder or something but i couldnt find anything relevant.

 

[Not Bman]

Do you still have Internet Explorer installed? If you do, open that up and go to File, Import & Export, export to a directory. Then open up mozilla, and then import.

I think this may have more to do with the coding of the page then the browser (I could be wrong though). Also might wanna just open links in a new tab
