FireFix CommentaryIt's not the app's fault - Version: 1.7, 11/29/2005 04:17PM PST

The "nightly builds" are what can break your current installation of Firefox. This just gets whatever current version changes for all of us BLEEDING EDGE TYPES. Yes, I lost the ablity to install plugins. Of course I did because I was updating the browser point by point.

Does the app work? YES
Can you break your browser by downloading unstable builds? YES
Are you an idiot for complaining? mmmmm, read between the lines.

Grade the app not the nightly builds and stop acting like PC heads MAC people!

Let's transition into the MacTel era with some pride and continue to use the grey matter.

FireFix ReviewAppleScript error w/OS X 10.3.9 - Version: 1.6, 11/7/2005 02:33AM PST

ffooky

"hdiutil: convert failed - File exists (1)"

I get this when trying to update either Firefox 1.0.7 or 1.5RC

I presume this is a problem with the change in AppleScript between Panther & Tiger but can you advise a solution ?

Cheers.

Thought I would be helping "The Team" and once Deerpark was intalled, some functionality was lost to do with windows etc. So I trashed it and Firefix only to find that Firefox is now damaged, even after downloading & installing the latest version, to the extent where it is unusable & I have had to revert to Safari.

Man alive - stay away from this product - its flawed!!!
