Beginning with the core Mozilla code, unnecessary UI was removed, existing UI were refined and new UI added with the goal of providing efficient (speedy, easy to use, useful) web access.
So it had to be sleek

Yeah, but most if not all people use these things. So, what is "speedy, easy to use, useful" about the extra steps needed to get this browser working properly? Nothing speedy about having to do all these installs individually.
This one has been good so far, but one day's worth isn't really a good gauge.
I prefer a week's worth, and prior to this one, was running 2/11 I think.

I've found the architecture specific builds to be more stable - generally - than the official builds. The main problem -generally- seems to come from incompatible versions of TBE as well as themes. I just landed the Scragz MozillaFirefox-2004021901-O1-G7-SSE2 and I'd say that while it is definitely faster than my previous favorite of the 11.16 aebraheim build it is about 98% of that build stability wise. If you have a P4 and run Win, Scragz's build is pretty impressive - is seems to just suck every last Mhz out of my 900 Mhz FSB and thirst for more. The Pinstripe XP theme seems to complement it well too - just make sure to add the following to your userChrome.css:
I've found the ones just after the release of Firefox 0.8 to be a little shabby (slow, buggy), but the latest ones are really fast and stable. I don't think Firefox crashed on me once while using a build after the middle of the month, and it feels a bit faster than 0.8 for some reason. (At least to me.)
All of today's builds ( 3-18 ) are rock-solid for me... they're the first one in awhile with zero crashes. I am, however, using a completely new profile &c.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040318 Firefox/0.8.0+ (BlueFyre)
New profile, new install of everything Firefox related for that matter.
I do not like the installer builds myself Sasquatch.
I like the ability to Unzip the program, dump my bookmarks, plugins etc... into the unzipped build then drop it where I want make a new profile and start surfing from that point on.
I can live without anymore registry entries then I have now.

I was thinking the registry entries are the good part about the installer build so the email talks to the browser, and the browser talks to java and flash players.
