What's New in Firefox 2.0.0.8

 

I noticed.. I just haven't restarted Firefox yet

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Thanks

Hmmmm lots of security updates!

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'm downloading it right now, you never know what they fix in it. They say security but then it looks like IE7.

 

i keep getting a Chrome Registration Failure error message each time i open Firefox, now that i've updated to 2.0.0.8. the error messages appears 3 times consecutively, and then reppears only when i reopen firefox.

"Firefox could not install this item due to a failure in Chrome Registration"

anyone else getting the same thing?

 

firefox portable>>>>

 

I got the same exact thing; does anyone know what this chrome registration failure is? Thanks

 

i just reinstalled firefox and it now works fine.

 

I don't think it was chrome registration error but I did have a fail to update message and found I needed to temporarily turn off Spybot- SD Resident in the system tray.

Interestingly enough, if I try to update Windows from the MS website I also need to turn off Resident.

 

can anyone help me ever since installing i cant watch youtube videos anymore i keep getting a "404 bad request" error page when i try to go onto youtube.com. Anyone else?

Apache Server at www.youtube.com Port 80


I deleted youtube cookies but i still cant watch the videos all i see is a blank space or no video... could it be a flash player probleM?

 

I'm pretty sure I couldn't watch YouTube when I used to use Firefox, either - I always got an Apache Server page instead of the video. Never did find a solution, so I just switched to IE whenever I wanted to watch YouTube.

I suppose the simple solution for you is to revert to Firefox 2.0.0.7.

 

I get the same prob on installation and use in that it seems to get stuck in some activity and never completes the download. Does anyone know of a fix for this? On the bottom left it says downloading from something like syndicate google or something like that.

 

once again...portable>>>regular

*watches passa passa youtube vids*

 

www.youtube.com works fine on Firefox for me; always has. You'll need the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, of course, just like you would for Windows Media Player.

 

Coming next year with 3.0: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/schrep/archives/2007/10/mozilla_and_mobile.html

 

It is interesting that some of you are seeing issues with the latest version of firefox. Atleast it is not as bad as what is being reported here

 

LOL! A whole site dedicated to FUD? Too funny!

 

Yes Evo
I don't have any issue with this update.

 

Firefox 2.0.0.9. should be out by next week.

 

It looks like one of the issues of version 2.0.0.8 (Bug 400735 ) is random crashing on windows during startup just like the link I posted before. For this reason as well as other bugs, it looks like they have fast tracked the release of version 2.0.0.9

 

The way I read it, they were not new bugs; rather, old bugs for which the fixes were regressed. Meaning, the fixes were made and maybe even in place in 2.0.0.7. and were not included in the build that became 2.0.0.8..

In any case, your post was accurate, and there appears to be a 2.0.0.9. coming next week.

 

I have had no problems with 2.0.0.8. So I hope the next version works just as good.

 

2.0.08 caused chrome registration errors 3x a in a row each time i started up firefox..a pain...so i just uninstalled and went with 2.0.07 for now

 

In case anyone's having the same problems, lately, I've had to disable (exit by left clicking) Spybot's Resident in order to update Firefox. It also needed to be disabled to check for windows update using the MS Update website, but it has no effect with auto updates. They still function.

 

Me neither, i don't know how everyone else is getting problems.
