firefox 3.0 alpha 1 is out

Recommended Posts

what are the changes wgan? anything interesting?

 

maybe it's just me, but I really feel the loading speed (page+images) is faster, the compatibility is also good; but I don't see much benefits to install this version though, try it at your own risk anyway

 

ps. forget to mention, I've heard that there is a next-gen history and graphic rendering engine added to the ver 3.0

Here is a link .. right at Mozilla's site:

http://mozilla.osuosl.org/pub/mozilla.org/...a1/win32/en-US/

 

The file is there .. exe file ;)

 

---

BUT.. How come it's NOT running on my computer though..

Never had the same problem before with other versions..

Even current v 2.0 is running OK...

 

With this Alpha 1 v 3.0 .. what is happening:

 

Upon it's install .. and then "Launch the program"

 

After the program is launched .. the box comes up.. something like this:

 

The name of the box is: "Error Starting Program"

 

Inside the box it says:

 

"The FIREFOX.EXE file is linked to missing export USER32.DLL:UpdateLayeredWindow."

 

----

It says exactly that.. - Any idea/suggestions on what to do or could be done?

Thanks

P.S. I just tried to start the program again..

And the same Box pops in..

But under it i noticed there is another error box:

 

" C:\Program Files\Gran Raradiso\firefox.exe

 

A device attached to the system is not functioning"

 

--

Hehe .. WTF.. what device are they talking about now? :rolleyes:

 

Everything is functioning in other browsers or even other firefox versions..

Just noticed something.. hehe:

 

Inside the Gran Paradiso directory.. there is a Readme file.. txt file..

 

I opened it and it says in it:

 

" For information about installing, running and configuring Firefox

including a list of known issues and troubleshooting information,

refer to: http://getfirefox.com/releases/ "

 

I tried going there.. but it just redirects me to Mozilla Firefox page :)

Hehe.. i found the problem :)

 

The problem is - I am running Windows ME on this computer here.. ;)

 

Found this page - Here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/3.0a1/releasenotes/

 

Where among other things they are saying:

 

"Some of the changes in Gecko 1.9 Alpha 1 will affect the web and platform compatibility of Gran Paradiso Alpha 1:

 

Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME are no longer supported platforms..."

I guess my Problem IS solved now - at least i found the answer :o

 

hehe
