I updated to the 1.0 Pre-Release of Firefox last week. A couple of random thoughts:
- I decided on a fresh profile rather than installing it on top of the old system. The FF docs say you can do that, but a couple of other sites recommended against it.
- RoboForm is updated to be able to support FF 1.0PR. Most of the other major extensions I use are, too.
- It was a good opportunity to reload the current versions of just some of the extensions I was using, getting rid of ones that I don’t need or didn’t use.
- The system seems a bit less stable, though. More frequent crashes (not a lot, but any are too many).
- My MT-it bookmarklet no longer works (though it did in 0.9.3). Not sure why. I can’t find anything in Google about it, so it may be something else odd going on with my system, not with FF in general.
When the 1.0PR was released, the FF folks were pushing for a million downloads in the first ten days.
They ended up with two million.
Good job.
