Thanks Dave! :kiss:

Lost my spellcheck though.

EDIT: re installed it.

Thanks.

Looks like there isn't an updated Google Toolbar yet

Yeah, a few things are missing, hopefully they will be added soon.

Is it working ok?

There is a extension called "Nightly Tester Tools" which has a tool that overrides the version checking. Of course, if a component has changed then the extension will still break, but it may get a few of the older things working again.

Google Toolbar works fine from: http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/index.html :wave:

I forgot....

• Drag & Drop Tab Re-ordering

:hammer:

Check-out the Tab Preview Extension, which when you hover over a tab, draws a preview window below it, which is quite handy, and will only work in the new version because of the new support for <canvas> tags and Scalable Vector Graphics :wave:

Dealt with the Google bar, but I've noticed that all of my saved passwords are gone. Now I have to try and remember them. :brick:

Everybody needs to use something like Yahoo Bookmarks so you can never lose them with something like that. That and Yahoo Toolbar is fantastic too

 

[tigsmom]

My bookmarks are fine, but the option to save logins & passwords seems to have disappeared on some sites and on others it doesn't work.

Thank you much!

I wonder why Firefox didn't automatically find this update...

There does not appear to be a 1.5 spell checker - which one did you install?

It probably will in a few days. If everyone's Browser told them to update at the same time, along with the standard people that have read somewhere about the new version, Mozilla's servers would get overloaded and nobody could download it.

But first try and reinstall the "Mozilla spell check libraries for Firefox 1.0+" from http://spellbound.sourceforge.net

Just reinstalling the last one seems to have worked.
