Firefox 1.0

nvm, i am dumb; didn't read the kidding part!

different countries have different timezones

mine is 14 hours left. dunno whether that's true or not because the flash applet seems to be calculating according to my system clock.

uNz[i] would probably have 10 hours left by now.
which country u from, uNz[i]? must be from the eastern side of Asia, right?

Well.. I'm south and yeah, a bit east of Asia - Australia, actually.

As of the time of this post, that flash applet tells me there's still another 10 mins to go.
That's odd, seeing as it's now 1 hour after the time that applet originally said FF would go final.

I guess that's what I get for having faith in a frickin' flash file.

Can anyone tell me if I will lose all my saved passwords in firefox,when I upgrade to 1.0?
Just want to be sure.

Uninstall the old version first in the usual manner, then install 1.0 to the same directory the old version was in.
All your existing settings should be safe, as long as you don't delete your Firefox profile folder, which is in
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

The profile folder is purposely left intact when you uninstall an old FF version, in case you want to update it and not lose your settings, bookmarks and passwords.



Oh.. btw, that flash applet is now showing time in the negative for me...

...but 1.0PR is still all thats on offer from the download site.

So in an effort to redeem myself, I went sniffing around the Mozillazine forum for a release time, and this looks like the best guess so far:

...and Ben Goodger (FF's lead developer) is shooting for an early morning release, by the look of it.

Ben's timezone is Pacific Standard Time: GMT -8

Mozilla HQ is in California. So unless you live on the west coast of the US, I'd ignore that timer.
It's wrong in other timezones.

Thanks gildan.

Downloaded it, but damn... that server must be getting slammed!
I only got 2.5K/sec using Flashget, and it had to retry 13 times.

That sucks even for dialup.

Now lets see what we have here..
