    Firefox 1.0.5

    Ok I just installed the latest Firefox, and am not impressed. I cant get adblock, or RIP to work. So if anyone has a link to ones that will work in the latest version I would really appreciate it.

    did you try editing the extensions.lastAppVersion value under about:config?

    Change the value to 1.0 or 0.10 if it already isn't...

    just type "about:config" in the address box, then using the 'filter' box at the op of that page, enter or C&P that string name and it should appear.

    Then just double click on the string and a value box should pop up and just change the value ;)

    Try the 1.0 value first, then 0.10 if nesscessary. Restart Firefox to see if it works...

    www.maxthon.com the fastest, and best functionality. Up until Firefox is the fastest, I won't waste my time.

    Maxthon is okay, if you like using the IE core...but most Firefox users don't...that's mainly why they use it in the first place ;)

    I changed it, but still no joy, as after reinstalling adblock it still wont work.

    The unfortunate thing is that a user should not have to dick around with it to get it to frigging work. It will never get a large user base if it does not have speed, and is user friendly. Most people just want to install it and have it work. Some nights I dont mind frigging around with settings, at other times I just want what I have installed to work.

    Yeah i understand about the issue of the IE core, yet contradcitory to it all, the only thing it annoys people with the IE core is it let's more Spyware in than Firefox, quite alot more as I've read. But running a good solid firewall eliminates Spyware and Adware getting through once activating the Firewall.

    Sounds like a lot of work, Hunter.

    Doesn't sound worth it to me. I think FF may go into the Recycle Bin the next time I do some cleaning.

    Actually I dumped it, cleaned everything I could find, rebooted, reinstalled, and still no adblock. Kinda makes one wonder how they ever expect to become a mainstream browser if the average person cant get it to work.

    That's wierd. I've updated to 1.0.5 and have no problems with any of my extensions, including adblock and RIP.

    I've got RIP ver. 1.0.4
    Adblock ver. 0.5.2.039 here or here

    This may give someone a clue to the problem.
