This should fix the Windows IDN bug.

Cheers tjesterb. This was a simple update and all my extensions carried over nicely with one exception. For some reason I had to re-install my Googlebar.

For those that are wondering - you can still access IDN sites - however the punycode will now display in the address bar.

So it does appear to be a fix and not an IDN blocking fudge.

By this, are you meaning I can install over 1.0 without having to uninstall? Wondering cuz I went to the link but all I found was the full 4.7 size not a smaller size indicative of just an update.

It's not the way I choose to do it, although some people do and report having no problems. I always prefer to uninstall the old and then install the new. That way if you do have a problem for any reason and need to check it out - you ain't gonna get sidetracked by folks raising the possibility that this led to a conflict.

(Not that it should be an issue this time, I also always keep a copy of the Firefox.exe build I'm updating, just in case I prefer to go back again and wait for extensions to catch up).

My "ieview" extension doesn't seem to work with 1.0.1, but all my other extensions seem to be working.
I've been having trouble with some sites rendering properly in FF lately. I'm thinking it was some config settings I changed. (CNet looks like total crap, cnn and some others have parts that display wrong) Any other FF users have any trouble with those sites? Since I'm not exactly sure what I may have broken, I'll probably just re-install FF, but start from scratch rather than applying my saved settings. If others get the same problems then maybe it's not just me.

IEView works fine here, and CNet looks just fine too. I have FF 1.0.1 as well.

Thanks, paxx. Some sites started rendering funny for me a while back after I made some chrome edits, so I was pretty sure it was my own doing. Thanks for the confirmation, though.
