The new versions of Firefox will require updated versions of extensions (I think). People might want to wait until their favourite extensions are updated before trying this version.Old Extensions and Themes

To prevent the kind of problems we had with the 0.8 release (users were having the browser not start with "No XBL Binding for Browser" errors, and finding that their theme was broken), all of your extensions will be disabled when you move to PR. If you were using 0.9, when you first run PR, Firefox will try and connect to update.mozilla.org to look for newer, compatible versions of your Extensions, and if they are available it will download and install them. If you were using 0.8, you will have to find newer compatible versions yourself.

There have been a lot of improvements in PR, but only one of the extensions I use is compatible with it. I wish these folks would hurry up and update.

Thanks for the headsup Philibob.

Finally, it's here. It looks fine to me, all of my extensions are up to date.

The best browser just got even better :cool: Hope they fixed that nagging mem leak finally. Seems to running sweet so far.

Seems like they fixed SOMETHING with the memory ... right now my peak mem usage is pegged at about 45 MB (7 tabs open, a couple refreshing every 15 seconds or so, Adblock and Sage and SingleWindow extensions installed, using Noia Extreme theme). Previous versions could get up into the 80s or 90s with big tab use.

Runs great, less filling!

Its great, espically for the way it installs 'flash' plugin, however that is the only plugin i know of so far that works heh

If all of them could install like that it would be swell
