there's no separate bugzilla section for different versions, you just file it like any other bug and then nominate for blocking and see what happens. i'd say it's probably too late unless it's something really major though.
Crap. Now every build is making those .bak files. It does not matter which build. I went back to 12-10 and it's filling my profile up with .bak files. Does anyone know how to stop this?
*edit - opps nevermind, it only made one bak file.

Great ! I'm pleased by this sensible choice. Thank you for the precision.

i hope a fix will show up asap.

That's currently the case for Firebird, but it doesn't need to be. Given the timescale on this one, it's probably not worth it, but bugzilla has a "version" field, which for Mozilla is used to distinguish between bugs in the trunk and bugs that only apply to branches.
This branch build seems to be working fine. The version still says 0.7+ though - if these are going to be release candidates, it's probably time to bump that to say 0.8!

So is there a dialog asking you which you want, as the original comment in the bug said? (I'm at school, 4 minutes 'till class starts, don't have time to look through all 90 comments...)
I hope the Win32 zip-building machine is down. I don't want to use the installer. I will wait for zipfiles before I try out a new FB 0.8 release candidate.
There are a number of critical bugs in the Firebird 0.8 branch 20031218 nightly installer.
Left clicking a link opens it in a new window
Left clicking a form submission button doesn't submit the form (for instance, entering user information then clicking the "Log in" button on the MozillaZine Forums Log In page navigates back to the same page with no authentication having been performed)
Installing a plugin often causes a crash
I expect someone is already aware of these, but they're not yet mentioned here.

And virtually none of their links would work under Firebird, as they all gave the wrong Mime Type. I was using the IE extension to right-click and open in IE.
Now, they will at least download to the hard drive and open, although, they are not sent as a link directly to the media player, which would allow them to be played as they were downloading.
Still, great job with this long-needed work-around.

The last time I downloaded a nightly, it was from the latest-0.8 directory and it was a .zip download. I've just logged on to two of the mirrors and I don't see a .zip build any more. Is this because the Windows installer version is now the only 0.8 nightly being produced, or do I have bad mirrors?
There's no dropdown arrow on the address bar anymore...
Accept shouldn't be capitalized and the default should be I do NOT accept...
The download manager is nice but is there anyway to make the indicators small icons? Or have it scale the large icons smaller as the list fills up? They're kind of big for the small amount of info they give...
Waldo-> only the installer versions are available so that is rigorously tested.
Wow just kind of scared myself...are these only happening to me?
If you middle click a bookmark from the bookmarks menu, the menu stays open. But this doesn't happen if you drag a folder to the personal bookmarks bar and middle click. Something to do with that fix for the bookmarks folder problem?
Getting crashing and other weird problems when installing 1 extension, and then another
And just minor feedback on the new Add Bookmarks dialog:
Is there any way to make the tree list in the Add Bookmarks dialog always open, like IE?
The "Create In" dropdown isn't hierarchal
In the tree view, there are plus signs next to folders that don't expand.
Hovering over the arrow that makes the tree list avaliable produces a blank tooltip
Not really a bug, but there should probably be a widget that tells you the Add Bookmarks dialog is resizable.
/realizes ^ are just polish issues, but still

No zip versions for now, as Ben (el developer) wants the installer tested by as many users as possible.
