Anyway, this is a very good build.
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.

Worth upgrading from 0221 build? Are you using it? Your signature still shows 0221 :)

Yes, because you can use right click on bookmarks, and it doesn't crash on creating new profile, and it is also a bit smaller.

Ooops, forgot to updated it.

Well - I used this build the whole morning and surfed a lot - till now no crashes nor any problems encountered so far - but be aware: I don't use ANY extensions or something like that! So if you're using just PX without any additional stuff this seems to be a build you might want to give a try! :)

Unfortunately still in there is bug #182695 and also the ver annoying bug #184202 but if you don't use form autocomplete and don't use Windows NT 4.0 nor Windows 95 you'll be fine with it... ;)

Nice build indeed, now all we need is to get that reload bug fixed!

Just tried it using the web installer - seems to work well. Bookmark context menu is back!

And THEN I installed Tabbed Browsing Extensions, closed the browser, and upon restart it crashed. Same error as a previous poster.

I'm sticking with 20030221 until a more stable build is released!

The TBE thing is simple--a handle changed and the repair is straightforward. This is not an instability issue IMO.

I don't know enough to address bug 101190.

Be brave.

I have pounded on it a little and it found it to be better than 20030227. I still get the "doesn't minimize sometimes" bug and I haven't d/l'ed every possible file type but they seem to work better, too. Quicktime embeds seem more stable. Memory climbs like 0227--I never saw this on 0224 or 0211. No duplicated bookmarks in new window but I always liked single window anyway.

The fix that works for Linux seems to work for Windows too - see http://www.mozillazine.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6774#50916

Yes. And to you for hosting the hacked file. I realized it is dumb to wonder whether it would work on windows since XPI files are not platform specific. We all install the same extension package.

I've installed the fix - thanks for pointing me in the right direction. At first, right after I replaced the .jar file and deleted the other two, I couldn't get it to work. Then I rebooted the computer, and all's well.

Thanks!
