Since I have heard it mentioned a couple of times in various threads that someone has 'the latest' version of FF, and then stating they have 1.0.7, I would like to let everyone know that the latest is 1.5. If you missed my previous posts, or they were deleted by RC to consolodate threads:

get it at www.getfirefox.com

that is all.

isnt that a beta?

heh, ya'll are only a couple months late....

I've been runing 1.5 for a while now. *shrug*

i just realised why i didn't upgrade to it before... it was (and still is) beta.

no... 1.5 is a release version... no more a beta than any of their products.

yes i know it's 'late' but people are still using 1.0.7 for some reason.

1.0.7 didn't update automatically for most people.

I had to get the d/l myself.

yeah ... automatic updates have been added with 1.5 now i think!

AHHHH!! okay, i was wondering why its been soo long.

Its a sad and sorry shame that half the useful plugins out there which made Firefox really useful have still yet to be updated to 1.5. And its still a memory hog.

and to be fair to duper... he did try to 'break the news' to everyone back on 02 Dec. 2k5

viewtopic.php?t=8714

but by then i had already fought with the source code and manually installed it under *nix, and of course the next day an .rpm was ready for my distro anyway... oh well.

there are ways to edit them so they work

you open the extension file like it's a zip, then extract one file with text in it - change the "max version" in teh text and then repack it all back up.

Thanks.

Will that work for AdBlock as well?

Theyve released an update for Adblock to be compatible with 1.5, I'm using it right now.

https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/m ... on=firefox

ok, i got some specifics, the file to look for is called install.rdf and it's inside the .XPI firefox extension file if you open it something that can unpack zip files (i think winxp will do it if you just rename the .xpi to .zip)

in that install.rdf file you edit what's inside this:
<em:maxVersion> </em:maxVersion>
to something bigger than your current version of firefox (or just put something crazy like 9.9 in there, whatever).

then save the file and reinsert it back into the .XPI firefox extension file (if you renamed it to a .zip, this would mean renaming it back to .xpi), then drag the .xpi file into firefox to install it.

Thanks, ive got my favorite plugins working again and once again FF is kickass.

Thats funny, I read that FF as Friendly Fire the first time. I agree Friendly Fire is kickass!

I hope all of you folks here are familiar with the BBCode extension for firefox.

Highlight some text, rightclick-bbcode-quote selection, and, tada, the text is within quote tags.
It will also let you copy a url, highlight some text and turn that text into a link. Color tags, bold, italics, whatever you want. It's shiney, and works with ff 1.5 just fine!

Hey guys, my v1.5 will not show me the little thumbnail pictures that are supposed to be there when you add a pic to a post. It's just this machine as the one behind me (literally) shows them fine.

Anyone have any ideas as to what is happening?

Click on the Tools menu, select Options. Under "Web Features", make sure "Load Images from the originating website only" is NOT checked.

or on *nix: Edit -> Preferences -> Content

this is the source view for part of a page that should have thumbnails in it. The links to the actual picture s are there but the thumbnails seem to be missing. (If I read it correctly)

Does it do it in every thread or just that one? Could you please leave a link to that thread, if it is that one?

here
on my home computer no thumbnails, anywhere else, all thumbnails

go figure!!

edit: I worked it out. ZoneAlarm firewall was blocking the pictures from being shown
