kibrit · 9th November 2004, 10:57

SO how is it made to tuine winamp with 1.0? Up to .9x we got downloadwith to manage extensions download. And now? available downloadwith doesnt fit 1.0+.....
Should I get out and kill someone?
bahhh....better is to get a tip...

gaekwad2 · 9th November 2004, 11:09

A list of 1.0 compatible extensions is here.

Winamp can be controlled with FoxyTunes

I hope that's what you wanted.

kibrit · 9th November 2004, 12:29

Well, it realy worked....Thank you for the tip! And nobody died....[joking]
Now I need to write some "bula" that allows dummy listeners to install the FoxyTunes extension!
BTW I could not get to the compatible extension list or to the site you linked to your answer...is it such a busy server?
I got Foxy searching on Google...

auhsor · 9th November 2004, 13:03

Nice. I have been waiting for this for a while. I was using the 1.0PR, then RC1, then RC2, so this update isn't very much different from what I was using, but it's nice to be finally using the full 1.0.

It seems the mozilla site is getting swamped by the number of peoples trying to access it. I can't get into the updates site. Oh well, I guess it should be better by tomorrow.

Joel · 9th November 2004, 13:22

Yeah, I can't access also...

just pick a number and wait, lol

kibrit · 9th November 2004, 13:31

Well, soon a ticker will read:
your connection is very important to us! Please hold on...we will soon put you through.....dont fall asleep....take a chair....sip some coffee while waiting....

mozilla.org seems to be heavily slashdotted.

Joel · 9th November 2004, 15:11

I'm Firefox 1.0 right now, at this moment, I didn't see any changes, yet...

Well... only the about dialog lol

shakey_snake · 9th November 2004, 15:18

There won't be any changes, just bug fixes from the PR.

gaekwad2 · 9th November 2004, 16:19

There are a few changes from the pre, but afaik none from the rcs.

zootm · 9th November 2004, 16:31

Yeah, there's a (hidden) single window mode, some tabbing tweaks and a load of bug fixes from the PR.

aFfLiCtEd · 9th November 2004, 16:51

Seems to load a lil quicker.

nybergh · 9th November 2004, 17:18

Yes, it does.

...But firesomething (<= my favourite extension) doesn't work yet

Nunzio390 · 9th November 2004, 17:57

Well, I just upgraded to Firefox 1.0 and do you know what totally sucks? I mean totally SUCKS???

THIS is what totally sucks, and there are apparently no updates for any of those extensions at all. And the worst part is that I can't even use FoxyTunes to control Winamp or my favorite Noia Extreme skin (theme).

I mean what the hell? An upgrade with no backward compatibility? WTF is that all about? Have the devs at Mozilla.org lost their minds??

Sorry. I'm angry and in need of venting I guess. On the upside, load time is quicker.

kibrit · 9th November 2004, 18:07

Well I am using FOXYTUNES to control both Winamp and WMP and works as predicted. They realy do it over 1.0+.
Had no probs installing it and running it under Widows (yes I took out that N, because is that what we are related to no support at all).

kibrit · 9th November 2004, 18:08

BTW: Hey Devs: what about a plugin for winamp to control Mozilla FireFox? Just reversed engineering....(LOL)
But in a second tought..it could work.....

You can probably get them to work by editing the %Application Datafolder thing%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*random string*\extensions\extensions.rdf file. You need to change the properties for all of the existing extensions from a value of em:maxVersion="0.10" to read em:maxVersion="1.0". This allows pretty much all of the extensions to work.

Here are the Release Notes for Firefox 1.0.

Psythik · 9th November 2004, 21:42

I was really hoping this version would fix the problems with websites mistaking firefox for an old version of Netscape (such as launch.com)...

They really should consider adding IE emulation so I don't have to launch IE to use windows update.

On the positive side, tho, I love how I can now force links that-try-to-open-in-a-new-window to open in a tab instead.

You can't use Windows Update without ActiveX. And if ActiveX reaches Firefox, I'm moving on to another browser.

There _is_ however a Windows Update plugin that adds an option to the Tools menu that launches IE and goes to Windows Update. Pretty nifty.

BTW: If you want sites to think you are IE or something, you can get a User Agent changing plugin. (Or hell, you could change it manually in about:config).

zootm · 9th November 2004, 23:32

On another note, the automatic updaters for most of the extensions work...

Nevermind. I thought there was an about:config setting.

Oh well, just get the User Agent Switcher extension.

Well the plugin bypassed the filter, but unfortunately, the video won't play... And I thought for a moment there that I could finally ditch IE for good.

Still a handy plugin tho (for those biased websites).

k_rock923 · 10th November 2004, 00:09

none of my extensions that I had that weren't compatible found an update, gaekwad's thing worked though.

k_rock923 · 10th November 2004, 02:53

does anybody know how to make the scroll wheel click close a tab on linux?

JRSellers · 10th November 2004, 03:50

I'm downloading it now.

Supposedly, it has live bookmarks and an improved Find feature.

One visible change I discovered is that now there's a Sort By Name option on the Bookmarks right-click menu.

So I take it that's a lot like the Official Firefox CD? Are you bundling extensions or something?

And I used to like Opera, but it's not noticably faster, harder to use and comes with a billion-and-one features that if I did want I could just get an extension for. And its page rendering cocks up far more frequently than Mozilla's.
