Also, I noticed in preferences -> web features, the setting "Allow web sites to install software" defaulted to "on". I turned it off because I wasn't sure what they meant by "software".
If you want to download anything through your browser you will have to renable it.

I just emerged firefox 1.0 and my life is now complete. My work here is done.

Just grabbed it. It seems that the program as a whole is just much more responsive than 1.0PR, even though I was using a pentium4-optimized build. I think the firefox developers have finally decided to fix a few of the more annoying responsiveness issues.

I found this out very soon after posting it. You need to enable it if you want to install themes from a webpage with one click. I noticed another thing: When I go to type in the address bar or google search bar the program freezes for 2-3 seconds. I find that this is less responsive than the 0.9 series.

Well, about ten minutes after the previous post, I restarted Firefox, and guess what? Everything works perfectly now. It just needed to warm up a bit, I guess. I retract all statements about Firefox 1.0 being less responsive and buggy.

You know, it's been a whole day already...what are they waiting for
Give it some time, ebuilds don't magicly appear without bugs/errors.
I don't think there is enough of a difference between 1.0-rc2 and 1.0 to make a mad dash to upgrade anyway

Agreed. I did anyway, but the only difference I've noticed so far is that Firesomething doesn't seem to work with it and it added a new ugly Go button next to the address bar, which I promptly removed. Why wouldn't I just push enter when I'm done entering the URL anyway?

I just made one, it's not all that hard.

umm...
do i actually install this in the same directory as before or not [and overwrite all of the previous install]
[wondering]
this looks good, though there's talk of having desktop search, which is completely unecessary...They need to focus on fixing all of their bugs first !

Are my favorites and "quicklink" toolbar saved in a file or folder that I save before upgrading? I don't want to lose these when I do the upgrade?
Thanks

they are saved and automatically put in, but I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND you back up your bookmarks just in case...
