MaxRabbit Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi, what is the compatibility with Firefox 2, now that it has been officially released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerol33t Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Works fine here :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerol33t Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Although, unless I'm smoking some serious crack, I dont think Firefox 2 has been officially released?! Yes it is in release candidate stage (the 3rd to be exact), but it JUST got into RC3, so it will be at least a little bit before they even decide whether or not to roll out another RC, let alone finalize.

Emilml Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well its kinda tricky, caous Mozilla has confirmed that its the 2.0 version but they tell that they do not say that they dont change stuff in it until the release l8ter today when the official release comes out, im not gonna install it before i see it on the mozilla website caous its l8t here and i need some sleep, but ill totaly dl it tomorow when its out on the Mozilla website "Dont kill me if the release day isent today but i think i read about it in Extreametech.com" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerol33t Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Ill eat my words: Its official, Firefox 2 is being released at 1700 PST today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxRabbit Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yep, I knew it was being released. BUT it isn't compatible with Pandora; it requires you to update to Flash Player 9, or it won't display anything... Is there anything that can be done? If not, I guess I'll have to figure out how to keep my settings and go to the original Firefox.... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerol33t Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well... errr... Im using RC3 (same exact thing as the official version), and pandora works great?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm going to use the temporary file thing posted in a different topic of this section of the forum. Once that's going you can use this with both IE and FF, and possibly even Opera, regardless of Flash version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxRabbit Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Umm, I don't know what you are saying about it, but whatever it is will let you use Pandora on most browsers regardless of flash?? Sooo, can you update me on whether it works?! And Aerol33t, are you saying it works fine with Flash 9, or it hasn't forced you to update to Flash 9? Because mine forced me to update.

Rab Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 OK, I got it earlier today, it did seem to be officially launched. I've been using it all day and here's what I have to say. 1. Most of my extensions are not compatible with it. As there appears to be no real reason to upgrade, ur probably better off not bothering. Edit: remember when your tabs overflowed off the edge... doesnt happen now, u can scroll side to side to get to your tabs. 2. In 1.5 there used to be a close tabs button to the right of tabs. 2.0 does not have this by default, instead there's an X on each tab, which is pretty ghey. You can change this back by loading the address 'about:config' and changing the value of 'browser.tabs.closeButtons' to '3'. 3. There seems to be a wierd little bug whereby the first time you click on a page, like to view source for example, the page scrolls right up to the top, so you basically have to click it twice.. dunno whats going on with it. I think if I was u i'd wait until the next version... 2.1 or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxRabbit Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks for how to fix the problem with #2, because I hate that too! But DOES Pandora work with it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme_One Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 ..2. In 1.5 there used to be a close tabs button to the right of tabs. 2.0 does not have this by default, instead there's an X on each tab, which is pretty ghey... Not at all. I prefer the new way. Just a matter of taste I guess. ...But DOES Pandora work with it?! Why haven't you tried yet? I have and it does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesstj Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I got time shifting to work no prob. It was no different then it was for 1.5. Though I am going to keep running portable 1.5 until the plugins catch up to version 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Firefox 2.0 doesn't work for me with Pandoras Jar 7.4 Says "unable to rip MP3 unable to find file make sure you have Pandora running in a FIRFOX browser" I found that it's because I had Flash 9 not 8...

Aerol33t Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 And Aerol33t, are you saying it works fine with Flash 9, or it hasn't forced you to update to Flash 9? Because mine forced me to update. It never forced me to update... and I don't see why it would? Even if it does, why not just re-downgrade to flash 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapaintballer331 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 downgrading to flash 8 is important! just go to labs.adobe.com find the flash 9 download page there on the very bottom of the dl page theres an uninstaller. uninstall, then go to oldversion.com and download flash8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxRabbit Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 I HAVE to upgrade to flash 9!!! If I have anything whatsoever lower than 9, it says "Unable to show media on this page-click here to download required plugins" ?!?!?!

Pichet Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hi MaxRabbit, MR> I HAVE to upgrade to flash 9!!! I have SeaMonkey, FireFox and Opera installed. If i verify using the link shown below, SeaMonkey has version 9.0 r16.0 while FireFox and Opera got v8.0 r22.0 and this allowed me to play Pandora's Jar in the past (until moving to the 7.4.0 version) while i could play more recent Flash content. A FireFox test used to display v8.0.24.0, actually, but some strange event slipped my attention because i found v9.0.16.0 in the other browsers as well so i ended up removing it and i didn't find the same v8 setup file as before. Anyway, this link proved helpful: http://www.adobe.com/fr/software/flash/about/ I'm not really sure how Flash support was upgraded in FireFox but i vaguely remember that to have two different versions i used an .XPI link (see above) in order to install v9 in SeaMonkey, then the .EXE setup file (v8 of course) handled FireFox/Opera... Sorry but i couldn't find an .EXE or .XPI v8 link. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxRabbit Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Okay... It seems when I install Firefox, it uninstalls flash from itself. So that's why I get the "need plug-in" So I just installed Flash 8 instead of 9, and it works! GREAT! Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
