I concur.


I beg to differ, I've had great luck with the 23 January build at http://ftp24moz.newaol.com/pub/phoenix/ ... -08-trunk/

But that's just my experience on my computer.
And I had great results with 2003-01-29, and 2002-12-28, and 2002-11-14. But he wanted the LAST bext Px build, and that's 2003-02-21, IMO.

That one has the bookmarks in toolbar issue (cosmetic), and I believe some really weird other issues, like some pages somethings displaying wrong sometimes. Also, it sometimes went totally bonkers with its memory usage, using 60M while around 20M would be normal (0.5 release, and other better builds, like 02-21). This on winxp.

Like many others, I'd recommend 02-21. Zero problems with this so far.

They have problems d/l'ing and run up memory to 60MB and don't always quit when they close.
Don't d/l, watch out for multiple instances if you crash/hang/quit and 20030227 (&-8 I think) can be used. I have avoided Customization of toolbars to play it safe. I could revert, but I'm not.

We are all waiting for a March Windows build but rumor has it the builder is broken.

Oh I dont know i've been happy so far with the Feb 21st 2003 build. I havent upgraded to a newer build because of all the new bugs found in the nightly builds after. :D

Add me as another contented user of the 2-21 build. Would be nice to have context menus up, but everything else is great!

Me too.
Still waiting for March builds for windows.
Why would you even consider to use the OS that is older and more obsolete than your computer?
See, that's just one of the reasons why I pick Linux.

Feb 26 (win me) seems to be running reasonably well except for some duplication in the bookmarks toolbar, and that happens only in windows other than the first one.

2003-03-02/Linux view source WFM. TBE requires a bit of a work round (http://www.mozillazine.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6774) but then is fine.
