  1. 0.9.3 to 1.0 to nothing back to 1.0 on Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0? · · Score: 1

    I was running 0.9.3 for a long time, waiting for 1.0 to arrive. I updated from 0.9.3 to 1.0 (as it said I could). It ran fine for the first 4-5 days, then I clicked CHECK FOR UPDATES and it completely barfed without warning. Luckily I was able to get into Firefox safe-mode to backup my bookups. Uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled 1.0 No Luck. Then I had to completely remove Firefox AND the profile folders. Re-boot PC and then install 1.0 from scratch. Then had to re-get extensions and set it back up again the way I like it. I reckon they still have a way to go with the installers / updaters. But I still LOVE LOVE LOVE FireFox.

    Nothing implied about being better over here in sunny Oz. Just that we are in line with the rest of the world while the Romans .. er.. I mean Americans are the odd ones out. But, then I suppose when they are nearly 300M in numbers and have the abiltiy to kick anyone elses butt into the next century (providing they can FIND them) then they can pretty much do as you want in regards to feet and inches and not care what everyone else thinks... Wait a minute....... FWIW - I reckon inches and feet are easier to guestimate when talking matters of anatomy and peoples height. But kg's (that's kilograms) are easier for a persons weight.

    The sooner the USofA joins the rest of the world in adopting the logical, easy to use and calculate metric system, the sooner we will all be better off.
