Download via BitTorrent

Good luck if you want a direct download. Don't bother trying to load the site, it's slow enough as it is, and it'll be even slower once someone slashdots it. Your best bet is this Google cache of download mirrors. HTTP ones are useless, but most of the FTP's have the 1.0 release up and active by now.

Any noticeable differences between the pre-release?

Really, REALLY hope they fixed the freakin huge memory leak I keep running into. I could drive the Nimitz through it, sometimes. Firefix was getting really, REALLY slow after I got home from work, so I pop up task manager, glance at HOLY CRAP WHAT'S USING 300 MEGS OF PHYSICAL MEMORY!

The leak was fixed in RC2 I believe. As for differences....none really noticable, but under the surface, there's a lot of bug fixes, especially if you've been using the Preview Release up until now. Not having half your extensions work until they're updated for 1.0 might be annoying though.

Thunderbird 0.9 was also released a few days ago as well :)

Oh, BITCHTITS!

Half of my extensions aren't supported and I can't find a version of the Noia theme for Firefox 1.0 either.

Oh cute. Cox.net won't let me login to my webspace because they're IE-only Fundy Bigots! :finger:

When the server gets the load let off for a little bit later try getting user agent switcher and see if that helps.

Read about a work-around for that: go to your profile (probably C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[your profile] in XP), open the extensions directory, and edit Extensions.rdf changing all the "maxVersion=" to 1.0 or higher. Worked for me!

Where would I be likely to find that on linux?

I don't know where your profile is stored, probably somewhere under your home directory. Find the extensions subdirectory; the file should be there.

I hope they fix the "Find as you type" feature. I love to use it to find things on a huge page but it won't work well if I try to type something like right now.
