  4. But can I upgrade using Software update? by g0_p · · Score: -1, Redundant

    To date I have not been able to get any software updates for my firefox browser since I downloaded it. Does anyone know if the software update works properly at all?

  5. Change Log by Agret · · Score: -1, Redundant

    New features

    * 245392 - Installer options for where to put start menu / desktop / quick launch shortcut icons.
    * 231062 - Provide Firefox MSI package.

    Major improvements

    * 124561 - Anonymous ftp login failure should prompt for username/password.
    * 151375 - Focus outline should be drawn outside of element.
    * 133165 - Focus outline should include larger descendants of inline elements.
    * 65917 - :active neither hierarchical nor picky about what can be activated.
    * 175893 - Make XUL 's focusable.
    * 20022 - :hover state not set until mouse move.
    * 276588 - Rework toolkit command-line handling. You can now open local files easily from the command-line (e.g. firefox.exe README.txt), and command-line switches should do the same thing whether Firefox is running or not.
    * 95227 - Make it possible to set different default font type (serif vs sans serif) for different languages.
    * 16940 - [Windows] IME is now disabled for password fields.
    * 151249 - [Mac] Middle click on link does nothing on Mac OS X (should open link in new tab).
    * 238854 - [GTK2] Changing GNOME2 theme doesn't apply until restarting Mozilla.

    New web developer features

    * 24861 - Quotes nesting (CSS "quotes" property, elements).
    * 238099 - CSS at-rule for matching on site/document URL. This makes it possible to include site-specific rules in user style sheets.
    * 237568 - CSS3 :only-child.
    * 251162 - CSS3 columns.
    * 163174 - CSS3 cursors.
    * 72747 - CSS3 overflow-x and overflow-y properties.
    * 24676 - Support -moz-outline-radius.
    * 73409 - document.open("text/plain").
    * 164482 - XML Events (?)
    * 251418 - Expose progress notification events through nsIXMLHttpRequest.
    * 253391 - Elements with tabindex="-1" should be focusable even though not in tab order.
    * 76197 - Scrollbars should look disabled when there's nowhere to scroll.

    New extension developer features

    * 128398 - Hidden referrer column for History. (Examples of extensions this makes possible: How'd I Get Here, advanced history visualizations.)
    * 142255 - Provide a way to prioritize HTTP connections. (Examples of extensions this makes possible: prioritize current tab, prioritize pages over images, prioritize one download over another.)
    * 179006 - API for managing user and UA stylesheets. (Examples of extensions this makes easier: Flashblock, per-site user stylesheet editor. This also makes it possible for user style sheet hacks, such as support for or blocking Google ads, to become simple extensions.)
    * Ability for extensions to implement new command-line switches (?)

    Notable bug fixes

    * 217527 - Left column on Slashdot is sometimes too narrow or too wide for its contents.
    * 238493 - (Re)implement widget change caching. (Fixed problems where ads in pages such as Gamespot would flicker into other parts of the page during page load.)
    * 47350 - Current scroll position not retained, reloading or going back to multipart/x-mixed-replace (e.g. Bugzilla bug lists).
    * 157004 - Error pages should be stored in history and show the original URL in the address bar.
    * 237244 - "Try Again" on XUL error pages does not repost form data. (Now that this bug and the previous bug are fixed, I recommend enabling error pages. To enable error pages, go to about:config and set browser.xul.error_pages.enabled to true.)
    * 69114 - Opening Internet Shortcuts (.url files) doesn't work (using File | Open or file protocol)
    * 97283 - Mouse wheel scrolling does not work for elements such as div using overflow - auto or scroll.
    * 251986 - Keyboard scrolling does not work for elements such as div using overflow - auto or scroll.
    * 62384 - Text Zoom doesn't change dropdown height (without reload).
    * 162081 - Wrong letter is underline

    But then again, doing nearly anything on Windows says you should reboot. Whether it's actually necessary is another matter entirely.
