For those of you wondering about the homescreen integration, it will prompt you to install it during the setup, make sure you install that component or it won't work.


So far, it's got some issues. The context Zoom is nice, but the inability to resize the zoom window as before is really irritating. Also, I've noticed some pages don't work that used to. Not sure what happened there. On the flipside, the ability to download images, right click a link and goto is nice.

Edit:

After several attempts, I was able to change my location.

Once you open Skyfire, go to menu, settings, and check the box to add the search bar. You will then be able to turn it on and off, under your Today settings....

Also, from several tests, the application seems to launch slightly faster but getting it to load the first page seems to take a lot longer.

And they still don't let you set your homepage. :|


EDIT: Nice, no more text pop-ups for filling out forms. Much better.


Also, downloads work great so far.

Yea I had confirmed that it was checked, I even unchecked, saved, then went back and checked it, I still don't see the option under my Today settings.

The "skyfire_6843_ppc50" is the newer version (0.80.6843), but the problem I'm having is when I enter my email & password for authentication, it says "Invaid e-mail address and password. Please try again". I have entered it several times and I know it's the right one because I can log into the user area on there website with it (it's the same). any ideas?
