What's different about it?

looks the same to me. probably a security update.

It's a security update.

There's a "developer preview" of Firefox 1.1 coming out in the next few days.

Anybody noticed pop ups appearing in firefox lately even though the pop up stopper is enabled. it appears that people are writing code specifically to bypass firefox's pop up stopper.
and no i dont have any spyware or adware.

ive had 1 or 2 pop ups with firefox revently, it was only going to be a matter of time before peeps started to write code to bypass it, i wouldnt get to worried, keeping it updated should keep thoses nasty pop ups at bay

Yeah they're working on improving the popup blocker to stop the new generation. Not sure if the new popup blocker code went into 1.0.3 though, think they might be saving it till 1.1

I've noticed it myself with these popups. Some seem to try and come up but get blocked but others come up on my browser now. I think they did improve it though in 1.0.3 as pop ups aren't coming up on a regular site I visit for the moment.

As far as I am concerned, pop-ups are the least problem with Firefox - it still seems to freeze if you try to open any pdf file in it. I cannot understand why this cannot be fixed since pdf files are so common and nearly everybody will need to open them. As a matter of fact I have had to abandon Firefox for this reason. I hope any new version will deal with this problem........

pdf's being mozilla's problem?

psst might be adobe

set your settings for online pdfs to open in acrobat

Try opening a pdf from the revenue's site in IE before you complain.

in Adobe - edit preferences - you turn off the web browser intergration / fast web / display pdf in browser , the speculative downloads, and set updates to manual , don't display splash screen and there are other speed ups too...

or simply right click the link and save as.

the new acrobat 7 loads very quickly now.

if you are still using v 6 then you can just do the following

1. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader (replace the C if you installed on another drive, like I did).
2. Create a new folder called Optional (if it doesn't already exist).
3. Move all files from the plug_ins folder to the Optional folder.
4. You're done.


acrobat will still load the plugins now but only as it needs them and not at the start. will only take a sec to load now.
