boo Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 ya, FF has loads of nice extension to improve your webbrowsing + its open source so its nice The extension gives FF allot more functions and customization then Opera.I used Opera in the past, but I didn't like it at all, it caused many problems.I endend up with using just IE, then later I found FF 1.0, since then I have only used FF So far, I have never heard anything that would convince me to convert to Opera.The only arguement you really have is that Opera had some of FF's functions beforeFF. That isn't so strange because relative new. Anyway, that kind of argumentis a bad reason for why to convert to Opera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 btw, can I just make an simple uninstall of FF 1.0.7 and then install FF 1.5 ordo I have to make an clean install(uninstall and delete of %appdata%\Mozilla)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 You don't have to remove the profile directory, but you might get a load of warnings/notifications on the first startup. That's nothing to worry about though.I would still copy the profile-directory to some other place before installing since you're better off safe than sorry.

boo Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 damn, 4 of my extensions aren't comptible with 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astral Monkey Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 If you have a lot of extensions and themes (45 total for me) you're going to have problems... I had problems with at least 5 extensions and 2 themes even though they were updated for 1.5. I had to uninstall them then reinstall them again then they worked fine, so I think its better to do a clean install rather than just patching 1.0.7. And one other downside is that it'll delete all of your search engines too... thankfully I backed everything up beforehand. But everythings working fine now.

boo Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 5 extension wasn't comptible with FF 1.5, 3 of them I didn't really used so I simply uninstalled them, 1 of them I found an replacement for, but still its one extension that doesn't work with 1.5.It's a game, so I can live without it, but it was fun to play while waiting for something Anyway, I didn't like the new look of menus on the default FF theme, so I tried to install the Classic Menus for Winstripe 2.2.1 extension, but it didn't work with 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofshi Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 @boo: if you're looking for a nice looking theme that plays well with 1.5, I can really recomment "Scribblies kids".It's the best I've encountered (including Noia).you can install it from here:https://addons.mozilla.org/themes/moreinfo.php?id=275give it a try.

boo Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 sorry, didn't like that theme.I really like the default theme in FF, I like it simple which means no 3D, no soft corners/points Anyway, Winstripe 2.2.2 has been released and it works with FF 1.5,so now the menus looks like in FF 1.0.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SledgeDG Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 @boo: try the plugin "nightly tester tools"it lets you set plugins and skins to "compatible"So you could find out if your desired skin really is incompatible or if there is only a conflict in version numbersIt worked for all the plugins 1.5 rejected on my machine-DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
