| 787593 | 2009-07-01 01:27:00 | Is it recommended you uninstall the previous version first, or can you simply download V3.5 and install it over the top of the current version?? | smithie 38 (6684) | ||
| 787594 | 2009-07-01 01:27:00 | I thought in NZ, we are following the British? Guess you thought wrong. Makes no diff to me, what I use. |

| 787596 | 2009-07-01 01:34:00 | I wont be "updating" to soon - I lose just about all my themes, and addins -- this is the ONE thing that pisses me off about firefox- every update is not backward compatible with the previous. :mad: | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 787597 | 2009-07-01 01:37:00 | Yep this update is quite bad too - browsing through themes/addons on the site 9 out of 10 are not compatible yet. Give it a few weeks, updates will come out. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 787598 | 2009-07-01 01:45:00 | Well it looks like you cant do a clean install of 3.5 (if no previous version was installed - thats if you want to save usernames / passwords). Because it doesnt work. And it looks like (even if you uninstall the old version / keep the settings, then install 3.5, whatever sites you've got passwords for (from the old version of FF will work). New ones dont work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 787599 | 2009-07-01 01:46:00 | Is it recommended you uninstall the previous version first, or can you simply download V3.5 and install it over the top of the current version?? In Linux I rename the old directory Firefox was installed in then copy from the compressed file using the previous directory name and alls done. This reminds me of one of the nice things about the old DOS programs where you delete the directory where the program resides and it is totally gone. No spreading files from one end of the HD to the other. |

| 787600 | 2009-07-01 01:46:00 | Any special reasons for choosing English (US) rather than English (British)? What are the differences between the 2, other than the US spellings? I thought in NZ, we are following the British? Definitely use British. It's just the spelling, I don't know why those other fruits want to spell things wrong. |

| 787601 | 2009-07-01 01:54:00 | I just used the updater, all my settings have stayed the same. Passwords still remembered. All extensions work I only had to update 2 of them, well firefox offered the update and I clicked yes. |

All extensions work I only had to update 2 of them, well firefox offered the update and I clicked yes. Ditto. Only three add-ons and one theme don't have updates - but I'm sure that situation will change in the next few weeks. If it doesn't, I'll find replacements... |
