12/21 Excellent!
I upgraded from the 0.5 milestone to 12/21, mostly because of the memory-leak bug fix, and want to encourage other 0.5 holdouts to do the same (or get an even more recent nightly!)' it seems much faster on my somewhat-old machine probably thanks to the memory leak fixes, especially after browsing for a few hours. I have been using it for two days now without any obvious bugs leaping to the fore (although it's sometimes hard to distinguish a Phoenix bug from general Windows instability).

Works for me, although I only really use the password-storing feature on two sites: AccuWeather and a normal webmail site that uses a standard username/password form. Do you have any specific sites you want me to test (obviously, I have to be able to create a free account there!)?

I don´t like to put some water into the wine, but Phoenix as Mozilla have a crasher bug regarding CSS: on some websites, hovering over a link crashes the browser.
That happens with versions of phoenix and mozilla newer than Dec 16th, and I hope it will be fixed soon, since a patch exists, but isn´t not yet checked in.

My password manager is broken in 0.5.
I didn't have a problem until the 12/14 build, when it stopped remembering cookies. I hate having to use a browser that's more than a week old . Alas, tis the holiday season and some people have lives.

Even with my old profile, it stopped remembering that I put in my password for Yahoo.

To my sorrow, I tried it, px0.5-22dec, linux, and Px promptly died. Don't much much about fancy coding but the page seems to be real patchwork of overlying links and tags, as far as phoenix is concerned. The page renders with no problems in my somewhat dated Konqueror 2.2.1 (Kde2.2.1).

I give the built 12/28 both thumbs up, the problem you describe doesn't exist and the password manager works too. I had just one crasher that is already mentioned in the forum. Phoenix is now my number one browser, I really like it.
Great work!
