Firefox with GT - Few problems

[Seven7]

I'm actually not to impressed with this release as it should have been better. Ben Goodger wanted it ready and out before Christmas but because of various bugs, especially with the installer and was still released with a seriouse bug as in where it could delete the whole directory the Firefox was installed in, if one is not careful when uninstalling Firefox. The extension/theme instalation is also buggy as if you try to install more then one extension/theme at a time in a row then well annoying stuff happens. I was still using the Jan.31 Firebird nightly that was ten times more easier to use when Firefox 0.8 came out.

I have used a ton of nightly builds so I know of bugs and continued regression .. >_<. Heck the last couple or so were 29MB because they were debug builds....oop's heh.

Going from memory here but Ben Goodger has stated that the 0.9 and next one most likely will be on the Mozilla 1.7 codebase for stability, so Firfox may get more stable perhaps.


To get off topic abit: I don't use/follow Opera as much now but various people have stated that Opera was not really that great until the 7.x versions came along to compare.

Scratch that... Next Thursday perhaps as ben goodger is a bit peeved about profile manager problems. Another bug ..pfft
