This latest build of Firefox 15 just plains sucks. Who are they using for developers some 9th grate IT students? The damn spell check does not even work right. I am think of moving up to the latest Beta build, I have had it with this nonsense.

It happens once in blue moons to nightlies , it's okay I understand even i get frustrated :)

But right now , Nightly is smooth for me , no problems , you should change your profile. Though stuff was broken for me last to last week.

I am now running Firefox 13 Beat 6 and I am not look back. It is faster and everything works.

Yes, everything is working ok...until you turn on HA. Memory leaks, slow UI, everything just goes down the drain.

As I said in another thread - there is only one person who is, very very slowly, working on HWA

Sounds like you have buggy video drivers or something. It shouldn't slow down when you enable hardware acceleration.

really? you're complaining about nightly builds, you should expect things to break every now and again

Yeah, what are those ******* developers thinking with those unstable nightly builds? Firefox 15 is alpha quality software, and anyone using nightly builds should treat them as such.

On a sidenote , i am loving the Silent Updates! It saved like 1 minute while restarting after an update and feels so quite and smooth (ThatsWhatSheSaid). This is a plus for Nightly users , coz they face daily updates , and for stable users too! I hope they push it to Firefox 13/14 so that it reaches to audience faster.

We're expecting PDF.js (landed in FF15) to ride the train to Aurora at the upcoming merge date

What are you going to do with all of that extra time on your hands.I do not need Firefox adding services to my machine.

I have been using alpha quality software since Firefox 4 and never even had problem. Did Banking on it and all. From Fx 4 through 14 I may have had 5 crashes. With Fx 15 I have had about 12.Is that Alpha Software or the new monkeys that they hired as devs.

Can you post, crash IDs from about:crashes?

Sometimes a quick search can save you from disasters, isn't it? Also the annoyance of seeing a progressbar on opening Firefox is gone , rather eliminated. I wonder if you go with that attitude, you must be using Netscape or maybe IE6 , "What are you going to do with all of that CSS animation, what are you going to do by saving two seconds on a page load , what are you going to do ...".

I do not need Firefox adding services to my machine.

Anyways , Bug 587909 -Improve the visual style of location bar results is showing some activity , here's a screenshot

really now? I seem to remember firefox 4 nightlys being completely unusable a lot of the time as the team was figuring out how to implement the button in the title bar correctly

Are you serious? You can't expect alpha quality software to be stable, whether or not it was stable before. The nightly builds are untested, and are a testing bed for new code and changes. They will have stability issues/crashes, and no it doesn't mean they hired monkey's as devs.

If nightly were stable, it'd be called stable, doesn't it?

Hell, it used to be called 'minefield'. :)

I can't get autofill to work recently even though the setting in about:config is set to true, anyone else having problems or know of a way to fix it?

Also, some of the thumbnails for my pinned sites aren't showing up on the new tab page, any way to force them to display?

It caused some issues in Nightly so due to it casuing bug got backout. It will now work probably..
