That's the risk of using nigthly's. Instead of switching back, rather use a stable.
I've lost nearly all my extensions in recent nightly's, but heck, that's the risk you take using them.

branch builds don't have most of those bugs. have you tried them?

What is this crap? Firefox branch is heading towards a final, stable, solid release (which is good) whilst on the trunk the hardcore work is still being done for future versions (which is good).
I don't get people moaning about how unstable and how many regressions the trunk has. That's what it's meant to have, so work can go on with it whilst the branch heads for final 1.0. If you don't like firefox sling your hook and save your whining for another forum. Thanks.

I think that is probably one of the stupidest things I have yet read on this forum. WHY NOT GO BACK TO A MILESTONE OR STABLE NIGHTLY?
Honestly, the number of people using nightlies and expecting them to be useful is beyond belief.

What about Firefox 0.8? That worked fine for me for over a month after it came out while the trunk Firefox was super-buggy. In reality there's not much different in recent builds from 0.8 if you're already solidly converted - the big features (settings import and extension manager) are either unnecessary or can be lived without for now.
The trunk is basically 1.8a and the bustages have occured in Seamonkey and Firefox. If you try a branch build you will see that most of the problems dont exist and its pretty stable.
Chob, in all fairness, testing nightly trunk builds is great, but if it's getting so buggy like at present, with quite a few of the main functions/options/extensions NOT/BARELY working people will be driven away from the trunk and switch to the safe branch to test the ultra-safe one-in-a-day fix. Because a number of FF0.9 features are currently developped and only tested in the trunk we need at least some minimal stability.
