    Hi,
    Excuse my butting in. I guess I did the wrong thing,then, cos I am
    running sarge and couldn't see how to update 0.93 to 1.0 Preview using
    dpkg so I downloaded firefox-1.0PR-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz and
    decompressed it to a new folder in the home directory. I then navigated to
    the firefox starter and ran the browser - everything worked fine, though
    it is applying all the extensions I installed for v 0.93, and accesses my
    bookmarks list perfectly well. Only thing is, if I click on the old access
    to firefox version 0.93 runs, which worries me because of possible issues
    regarding having two installations of firefox (or was that only with the
    earlier versions).

    Agustin
