Flock 0.9 Is Now Available To Download
July 10th, 2007
Last week I talked a bit about beta testing for Flock 0.9 and promised that it would impress those that enjoyed previous versions of Flock.
I was pleased to see today that Flock 0.9 is now available for download to everyone. This will include all of the Firefox 2.0 updates, as well as a similar yet new look and a few new features. In addition to the new browser, it looks like Flock.com has been given an incredible new design.
If you find that you use a lot of social websites or have enjoyed previous versions of Flock, I definitely recommend giving this browser a good look. So far it is getting good reviews. I also ran across a good write up by Leslie Franke that should answer a lot of your questions.
The bad news is now I have to update my Ultimate Guide to Using Flock. Hopefully I can get that done this weekend.
For those excited about Firefox 3.0 going to beta, it looks like Mozilla has delayed the browser going to beta for a few months. We can expect an Alpha 7 and possibly even an Alpha 8 before we get to the beta phase.  If a delay gets a better working beta with a working Places feature, I’m all for the delay.  I’ll be enjoying Flock 0.9 in the meantime!










Kyle, I have been trying it since this afternoon and I love it. Their new Flock bar is cool and the lot more Firefox extensions work with it. The photo uploading feature is better and supports batch uploads.
I’ll probably be writing a review myself if I find some time this week.
Well, Flock can really be the fav. amongst the geeks. But, they’ll need to bring out the browser which is more stable. Last one wasn’t stable and that’s what made me uninstall it.
I want to upload photos with a batch tool and flock is capable with this feature.
K – Would love to read your review.
Review – I hear what you’re saying. I LOVE Flock. I don’t love the year delay since Firefox 2.0 came out.
I’m going to try to load all of my Firefox 2.0 plugins into Flock this weekend and see how it performs.
Green – Flock’s batch upload seems to be the feature everyone loves the most. I don’t use those services much, but I can see how they would be useful if I did.
As Mayank pointed out, the last version was not stable enough. Let me try this new version.
My impressions so far is they have taken their time and pains to make it stable. I have all my FF extensions loaded and its running smooth. *knock on wood*
I tried out the new Flock. It looks good and promising. There should be more Add-ons.
Nirmal – You can use the “Flock’d” add-on to convert pretty much any existing Firefox add-ons to Flock, with the exception of bookmarking add-ons (because they have a different bookmarking system).
I think I wrote about it in my Users Guide to the Flock Web Browser and included a link to the add-on if you’re interested.
Thanks for that info. I’ll try it.
Kyle,
That extension is not supported by the latest version. 0.9.
Nirmal – OK, good to know. I wonder if you could use Nightly Tester Tools to make it compatible, then use Flock’d?
I haven’t updated my Flock guide for 0.9 yet so I’ll probably check it out when I’m updating it (hopefully this weekend). I’ll let you know here or in a new post!
