I've been using the April 29 nightly as it seems the best to me. I don't use any extentions so I can't help you with that.

I'm using:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030426 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Also hearing many people recommend Apr 29.. any major differences between Apr26 and Apr29?

Right now I'm using April 29th, which seems to work very well except for crashes related to the autocomplete bug.

Although, I find it somewhat strange the the Windows builds are continually lagging so behind the others, given that most Firebird users are probably Windows users, and Windows is where most of the users are to be had. I would have thought that putting out Windows builds would be a far higher priority than Solaris or OSX, and probably Linux as well. It would be a different matter if this was an isolated case, but it appears that Windows builds have been getting the short end of the stick for some time now.

March 20th is still the most stable one, almost all builds in Apr are buggy.
for Apr. 2xth, auto complete will cause FB to crash sometimes, and missing scroll bar of drop-menu at some website such as www.dhl.com.

The May 4 build seems to be golden. Hasn't crashed on me yet, everything works perfectly, no auto-complete crash bug, TBE is working perfectly.... etc.

It's nice having a golden build made on my birthday LOL

I'd go for May 4th. I don't experience any problems with it through normal use.

Does the May 4th build handle http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2 ... id=1552425 properly?

I have the 4/27 build which seems very stable, but it loses the left margin on some ESPN artlicles like this one. Mozilla 1.4a handles these same pages at ESPN just fine.

I would like to update Firebird if there is a build that handles the ESPN articles like Mozilla 1.4a does.

using the 04/29 here, works without a hitch, never crashed on me since 04/29

as for TBE, the latest version seems to be broken so i dont suggest you download that. try to find the 05/02 build of TBE if you can, i use that one and i know it works.
hope this helps

Still loses some of the margin. I wonder if the Mozilla nightly has this problem too? It could be bad web coding though, assuming something would space out when it doesn't have to. I really don't know.
