   [originally posted by Walter Meinl]   
      
   Firefox-4.0 final is available at   
   http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0   
   contrib/firefox-4.0.en-US.os2.zip   
      
   The latest (and presumably last) Beta of SeaMonkey   
   http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2   
   1b3-real/contrib/seamonkey-2.1b3.en   
   -US.os2.zip   
      
   Be sure to download and carefully _read_ the new Readmes   
   http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0   
   contrib/firefox-4.0.en-US.os2.READM   
   E   
   http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2   
   1b3-real/contrib/seamonkey-2.1b3.en   
   -US.os2.README   
      
   Two points from the Readme are very important to mention   
      
   1)   
   =========================================================================   
   -- Compatibility Warning ------------------------------------------------   
   =========================================================================   
      
   After using Firefox v4.x or SeaMonkey-2.1b3, your History and Cookies   
   databases (places.sqlite and cookies.sqlite) will NOT be compatible   
   with Firefox v3.x or SeaMonkey-2.0.x.  However, a REXX script is   
   available to restore compatibility.   
      
   * To preserve compatibility:   
     - download 'dbrestore.zip' from   
         ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/mozilla/dbrestore.zip   
       or   
         http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/dbrestore.zip   
     - unzip it into your profile directory   
     - make backups of places.sqlite and cookies.sqlite   
      
   * To restore compatibilty BEFORE running Firefox v3.x:   
     - run the script from your profile directory.   
      
   * To restore compatibilty AFTER running Firefox v3.x   
     (i.e. you forgot to run the script before):   
     - look for 'places.sqlite.corrupt' and 'cookies.sqlite.corrupt'   
       in your profile directory,   If they appear to be the right   
       size, remove the '.corrupt' extension after deleting the   
       newly-created versions.   
     - run the script   
     - if your history and cookies aren't restored, use your backup   
       copies.   
      
   2)   
   * Exceptq - Crash Reporting   
       If the app crashes, Exceptq will beep and then create an   
       exception report containing details of the crash.  You can   
       send these reports to the developers at .   
      
     Exceptq's dlls can be downloaded here:   
           http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?&key=exceptq71   
      
      
   Please, to be on the safe side, backup your profiles _before_ using   
   the new versions.   
      
   Get them as long as they're still fresh ;-)
