Aaaand 10.0.1 is out.
Just trying that, and I have a non active back button, mouse gestures don't work, and the right click "back" and "forward" options are greyed out.
Back to my old version.
No issues here yet.
having two thumb buttons on my mouse, I just hide the back/forward buttons since I use the mouse ti activate those functions

Am using latest 10 at the moment, & right-click back & forward work fine for me. Did you do a clean upgrade? You can uninstall Firefox while keeping your profiles folder by not checkmarking it on uninstall.
Now, it does remove the forward back button, but it comes up after you visit a website & actually need it. Took me a few times to get used to it, but it seems to work good.
Also, the back button history can be accessed if you right-click a back arrow & select which one.
Did an "Upgrade" install, which really shouldn't cause any major issues.
It isn't my main browser so I can't be a**ed messing about with a clean install, or trying to find out what the problem is. The lack of any moving back or forward options didn't fix itself at all.
I moved around the forum by clicking the "Forums" button underneath the Piriform name to go back.
And my long lasting Winstripe Modern theme wasn't compatible, and it isn't being upgraded.
End of winge.
Waterfox was updated to 10.0.1 as well

using 10.0.1 and no problems. I am using Portable version so I just drop in the CORE files. Whenever I upgrade and the add-on does not work, I search for the add-on and find the install.rdf and edit the version number in that file to make it compatible. Not sure where the THEME files are, but I'm sure the same may be possible.

I heard that 10 will not be as stringent on checking addon compatibility so it won't break as many as before. But I do not know. I do know there is an add on you used to could get to make it force add-ons to work. Not sure if it is still developed, however.
I asked about the upgrade, because it generally works good. But if you went several versions, the features may change so drastically, it can cause problems. Example: I had a firefox install that after multiple updates later, the right near the address bar was showing a button that should not be there from an older release.
Uninstalling it (but keeping the profile folder) and clean installing the new version fixed it.
P.S. I believe there is even an IE skin for firefox, if you like the simplicity of IE... Hahaha!

Thanks for the idea. It saves me a lot of time when others share time saving tricks. I was aware of a few work arounds for other programs, but it is nice to know you can edit the version numbers like this. Great one, my friend.
did some snooping around since my post and the theme is in the same folder as the add-on. It may be in a compressed file (XPI). If so, just use 7zip to extract it in a folder of the same name and rename the XPI file so it can't be recognized, I rename it to XP!. I then find the install.rdf in the extracted folder, edit, save and leave the file uncompressed. Whenever there is an update, the folder will be nuked and a replacement archive will take its place.
No issues here yet.
Does the spell checker work for you? For instance when making a post on a forum. It's been broken for me for a few versions now.
For me Spell Checker was broken a long time ago in Firefox.
PaleMoon Portable is NOT broken.
They validate and adjust Mozilla updates to ensure that portability is not broken,
and their extra care pays dividends for their users.
I am happy to be off from the Firefox Treadmill - Mozilla are aiming to beat Google to version Infinity.

I don't use spellcheck, but works now after I installed English (US) Spellchecker: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/united-states-english-spellche/
The spellchecker hasn't been working for me on the forums for quite some time, I've actually pinned it up as a forums issue, 'cause this is the only place it doesn't work.
I've just installed this US-English dictionary ...
https://addons.mozil...glish-spellche/
... and spellchecker is now working.
It'll do until I find an British-English one which can spell correctly.
EDIT: Whoops, found one.
I thought it was my old incompatible version, but I now notice the .1 on the end of the version number.

I'm now using FF 10.01 as mentioned above, and also have my "incompatible" Winstripe Modern theme working perfectly.
Respect for that little trick. It's a new one on me.

There is anothe rforum I am on which has the same problem. I would lean toward an issue with IPB vs this board.

That's friggin awesome that you got your theme working. I looked at the theme you uploaded a pic of. Great that you got it fixed using that trick!
Well, so far as the spell checker in firefox, I am from USA. I don't know how it is for you in Britain, but spellcheck just works for me in Firefox 10.0.1.
It works when I am posting up here on the forums as well.
No problems.
I have the same spell-checker in both Firefox and Palemoon.
On this forum it works in Palemoon but not in Firefox.
I have not assessed Firefox on other forums, but Palemoon never fails.
