Oh no! 200kbps! Everyone is gonna die! That's an acceptable download time, even with cable.

Seems like it should work ok to install over, at least based on these opinions...

Let us know how it goes GoJo.

I'll be interested to hear if your 1.0.5 was removed from Add/Remove, unlike your previous experience...

This version specifically says to uninstall the old version before installing V1.06.

From the Firefox website release notes of version 1.06:

Quote:
Prior to installing Firefox 1.0.6, please ensure that the directory you've chosen to install into is clean and doesn't contain any previous Firefox installations.

Do any of you that use 1.0.6 have trouble with the Mozilla extensions and themes page? Mine messes up each time I go, while my dad (who has 1.0.5) can access it perfectly.

Well what it is is the site looks terrible, all messed up without icons and such (almost like a text only site sort-of). I was wondering if it is because of the newer FF version...
