| 250907 | 2004-07-09 05:01:00 | Hi, At 1.05pm I downloaded Firefox0.9.1 from Mozilla's site as I had decided to forego on IE. Have just come back to F1 and noticed Fire-and-Ice's post at 1.39pm said there was a new update - Firefox 0.92 and gave a link to download it. But that site also called it build 0.9.1 as well. Excuse my ignorance but are these the same 2, or do I have to download another one. ?:| Haven't installed the one I downloaded yet, but looking forward to trying it out. Just checking before I do something dumb...again :_| Marg. |

| 250908 | 2004-07-09 05:03:00 | yes, there is Firefox 9.2.x | Megaman (344) | ||
| 250909 | 2004-07-09 05:38:00 | Firefox was quickly pushed to 0.9.2 due to a bug that was discovered. The developers responded quickly and released 0.9.2 which contains the patch for it (looks like this only happened in the last few hours). I would download the 0.9.2 version and install that instead of the 0.9.1. Looking at the Firefox download link for Windows, it still points to the 0.9.1 version even after clearing out my cache. You can find the 0.9.2 version here (ftp24moz.newaol.com). For Windows users, make sure you download the one called FirefoxSetup-0.9.2.exe Information about the bug (http://www.mozillazine.org/) here |

| 250910 | 2004-07-09 05:50:00 | Thanks Jen C, I just couldn't find it anywhere through Google, although I did read an article 8 July in eWeek regarding the bug while seaching Google. I'm on WinXP Pro SP1 and it would have affected me. Someone must be looking over my shoulder, because although I was keen to use it as soon as it was downloaded, something held me back from installing it. Funny eh? And then to see the post about a new build just in, I was so relieved. Hopefully will have firefox up and running later tonight. Marg. |

| 250911 | 2004-07-09 06:42:00 | At least you didnt get around to installing 0.9.1 Marg. I finally got around to downloading and installing it myself a couple of days ago and now have to downlaod and install the latest one. :D | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
| 250912 | 2004-07-09 07:02:00 | Thanks Fire and Ice, If it wasn't for you, I'd be in the same boat as you. Sounds a bit Irish?? Keep on letting us know about the updates. Its really helpful. :) Marg. |

| 250913 | 2004-07-09 07:38:00 | Interesting using Firefox for the first time. It is great, but I cannot log on to either of my banks, and it will not let me check my Telecom usage. All three sites time out. This doesn't happen with IE. Does anyone know why this happens or have any suggestions about how I can do my banking etc without going back to IE? Thanks John |

| 250914 | 2004-07-09 07:55:00 | Hi John C, When you say going back to IE, does that mean you have uninstalled it? Can't help you with your problem, but on page 3, topic: Mozilla Firefox & Thunderbird by SuperGran, Jen C said that both IE & Firefox will live quite happily side by side on the same machine. Also Susan B said she still ran both. I think there are other things you can't do with Firefox but not sure what they are. That's why I'm keeping IE close at hand just in case. Sorry I'm not much help. Just starting with Fire fox myself. Marg. |

| 250915 | 2004-07-09 08:29:00 | Yes, Firefox will quite happily live side-by-side with IE and you can even use both at the same time if you wish. >but I cannot log on to either of my banks, and it will not let me check my Telecom usage Using Firefox, I can access my Jetstream usage via the Telecom site without any problems (just checked now) and my bank, ASB has no trouble with the browser either. You are not blocking all cookies are you? Have a look under Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies. >I think there are other things you can't do with Firefox but not sure what they are Very occasionally you will run across a website that will not display correctly using Firefox (or most other non-IE browsers), for these you will need to use IE. You will also need to use IE to run Windows Update (although IE will open automatically even if Firefox is your default browsers when you launch this off the Start Menu). For those 0.9.1 users, if you don't wish to update to 0.9.2, you can simply apply the patch for the bug, either through the patch download, or by editiing about:config. Grab the patch from here (mozilla.org). Note, only those running Windows need to patch or update Firefox or Mozilla. |

All three sites time out. This doesn't happen with IE. Just checked my Telecom usage and both bank sites with no problems either. Do you have a third party ad/popup blocker or firewall with built in ad/popup blocker that could be preventing access? |
