Best build since Feb. 21?

Best build since 2003-02-21 means that I must recycle an old profile--can't create a new profile: Px crashes on startup.

However, using an old build (from 2003-02-21, say) 2003-03-04 starts up fine. It also restores a behavior I liked from much older builds: when I click on a link in e-mail, Px spawns a new window. Thus, for me, the -04 build is superior to the -03 build.

In light of strong recommendations from you folks, I finally surrendered from my beloved 20021228 & moved to 20030304.

So far, so good. I MUST have tabs [TBE], & they are working just exactly right. So, also, is everything else.

Memload looks good, too -- surfed 1 hour, 4 tabs open, memload=12.1mb. Veddy acceptable, wot?

I extend my thanks to all of you bravehearts who pioneer the nightlies so that wussies like me can latch onto stable stuff only.

There is a workaround - it automatically creates profile, but it crashes then.
You need to manually edit prefs.js (just open it and add a comment and save it), it will work.

20030304 still working fine.

With 20021228 I could set it so that animations would only cycle one time. Thus, I could eliminate all the dancing clowns & jiggling icons.

I cannot find a similar ability in 20030304. Is there one?

Only one crash to date -- at following link...
http://www.newshub.com/cgibin/rd.cgi?11637102

Px said it had a problem with NPSWF32.dll then shut down. NOT a BSD.

I think it's because Px was trying to stop a pop-up. I turned on my firewall's pop-up stopper [so Px wouldn't be confronted with the pop-up] & Px loaded the page without a murmur.

Works fine for me too. I think I'll stick with it until 0.6.

WFM. Version of NPSWF32.dll is 6.0.61.0

I checked to see if my version of NPSWF32.dll is the same as Joao's.

Discoveries...
#1- Mine is much older -- version 3, as a matter of fact.
#2- It has NOTHING whatsoever to do with pop-ups. It has to do with shockwave flash.

I HATE flash stuff but I don't want to crash every time I visit a page that has it.

Hey everybody -- What must I do to get a later version of NPSWF32.dll???

So far, if you keep your old profile, the 2003-03-04 build seems pretty good. The 2003-03-08 build has a problem it shares with Moz 2003-03-08 (it's now on the 1.4 alpha version): Mozgest mouse gestures v 3.5 do not work. That said, at least one person says it's faster than previous browsers. It doesn seem a bit faster, but it may be due to an annoying transient black screen that flicks in whenever anything loads. So, for the best Windows build since 2003-02-21, it's still 2003-03-04.

Adding my vote to 03-04-03 build.

Checking "Load images from originating sites only" works (dont recall, but probably this did not work in 02-21)

Only one reproduce of 0.6 showstopper http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163372 so far...

The year 2000 bug strikes again!

In order to avoid confusion between MM/DD/YY (US style), DD/MM/YY (UK Style) and YY/MM/DD (Japan?) the convension on the forums is to use YYYY-MM-DD.

So this this case, 2003-03-04, which I'm downloading now

They use both YYYY-MM-DD and YY-MM-DD in Japan. It's closer to the international standard than the U.S. or European format.

And I am using 2003-03-04 now, too.
