tonicx Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Does anyone know what the latest stable build of Firefox is, I heard its having some problems with extension, theme and memory leaks. I'm stil using 1.0.2 final, but it just doesnt feel smooth as the 1.0 release. I just wonder whether i should update to the lastest 1.0.3 or not.

The Jorge Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I've upgraded from 1.0 to 1.02 to 1.03 with no problems. You can try MozBackup to make a backup of your settings, extensions, and basically anything else you'd ever want or need to backup. Afterwards, upgrade to 1.03 and see if you have any problems. If you do, uninstall 1.03, delete your profile, reinstall 1.02 and restore your profile from your backup. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolCatBad Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) I have read that the last trunk build which doesn't break extensions is 21.04.05 http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...04-21-07-trunk/ ***If you try this, delete your profile first and save critical files, bookmarks, cookies etc.********* Edited May 1, 2005 by CoolCatBad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted May 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 1, 2005 yeah 4/21 is the last really stable one. Today's nightly worked with extensions ok, but failed to recognize any plugins (flash, java, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0rbez Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Great, I was wondering this myself... Adblock is essential, and it keeps getting disabled in newer trunk builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolCatBad Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I have trouble with the Options panel on this build, does not show and causes crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feelings its something to do with another extension and the process of upgrading to a newer nightly. Just a guess on my part tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 i am using the 1.0.4 aviry (sp?) version. some of my extensions stopped working under 1.03 and still dont work properly under 1.0.4. so its def. extensionrelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolCatBad Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Ah yes, bangbang is correct of course. No good just bumping-up the numbers in the install.rdf, the theme has to be rebuilt from the ground up. The only theme, apart from Default, I can find to do the job is the newest Firefox Modern, by Andrew D. Keyser, available on Moz Update. Playing around with the very latest Trunk builds I noticed some changes. Cache now resides in AppData\Local Settings and Tabs are drag-and -drop reorderable by default. But not for everyday use just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wait till it's fixed for sure. btw, it's still present in todays build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow ad loading on Neowin becomes a bigger bitch with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted May 2, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 2, 2005 So you guys know, that scrolling issue should be fixed soon. The patch was put up for review. It was literally one incorrect letter in the code that screwed things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colordeficiency Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 So what's the latest trunk without any big issues? 21/4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted May 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 4, 2005 Besides the fact that most themes dont work with the latest builds, today's build is pretty solid. edit: actually, today's build is a bit funky. Yesterday's build was good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
