It's essential that people start doing this now, rather than later, otherwise bugs might slip through the cracks!" Further details are available in here
Include the url where you have the problem (if this is the case)
Include the "about mozilla firefox" information (under the help button)
Installer build or .zip version?
Did you completely erase the Firefox directory first?
Does a new profile fix the problem?
Include the list of extensions you have installed (preferably none to start with)
This makes it a lot easier for others to duplicate your problem.

The lists above do not include fixes etc that are not marked Browser/Firefox and Win/All (OS).
Firefox 0.9 and 1.0 Milestone (planned early-mid June 2004) bugstatus for ALL operating systems: (+/- are changes compared to the previous nightly build)
Also, and I know this has been seen all over the forum, but for reference I'm gonna mention Ben's new guide to Extentions for Firefox 0.9 and Thunderbird 0.7
Looks nice. Probably worth doing a build tomorrow. I'm snowed under with work this week and am logged in at work so I can't do a pull but should be able to grab a few hours of sleep and do the pull while I'm sleeping.
Holy Greens. The rise of the bug fixes. wooohoooo....
Thy Fox will look from thy shadows,Thou Shall Feel thy cunning will.
I use nightlies Trunk Builds, I will ask Trunk Question and post Trunk Bugs ONLY. Please do not tell me "Using Branch build here,everything works fine.".DUH.

I guess things are looking up. I don't see a lot of changes, but then again it don't look like they broke anything major.
The nasty Blue URL is gone (#238186 ) Whoopie!
When the Extension Manager is fully active, I hope that Ben announces it VERY LOUDLY so that the extension authors can repackage/rewrite their extensions as needed. Otherwise Firefox 0.9 will fall flat on its face as the extension authors rush to update their extensions, having not been informed in time.

I'd think the extension "authors" would be testing concurrently now against the trunk builds, so as to keep up with where they should be.
Perhaps Mozilla Corporation needs to specify or only allow .9 approved extensions, so that older and out of date ones CAN'T be installed on .9 version.
