If 1.0.3 only addresses the add/remove bug along with a few other minor bugs... then it's not worth the upgrade from 1.0.2.
Unless 1.0.3 has any major security fixes?

However, I would like it more if they released small updates, like 500kB's, instead of downloading the whole 5MB package every single time. I think it's sort of a drawback to firefox if you are on dialup and have to wait 30min each time... Yep, know what you're up against.
Have friend still on dialup because no broadband available yet in his area. Do downloads for him then burn to a CD. | |

| Here's the kicker, tried the last Nightly build of 1.0.3. Same problem, so this time after renaming my profile folder & letting FF 1.0.3 remake a new profile, I started FF and re-installed every extension I had installed in the other profile. I then copied over all the text files that I had edited as well, user.js, prefs.js, and the userChrome.css & userContents.css in the chrome folder from the profile that didn't work to the new profile. FF 1.0.3 works fine now. And if I run one of the earlier FF's (like the last Autofox) it works fine with the new profile as well.
So the big question is WHY? Both profiles have the same extensions & themes installed, the same edited files, but FF 1.0.3 was picky over the first one. Ah, the fun adventures playing with nightly builds. (Of course, if Mozilla hadn't stopped providing ZIP files for the ones they offer on their main download page, I WOULDN'T have to use the nightly builds to get a Non-Installer version of FF!!!  )
I did discover another neat use for Listzilla though. I had it make a HTML list of all my extensions & themes before I started. When 1.0.3 was running,I then dragged the extension list html file into the browser & made it my homepage. I them just went down the list & clicked on each link to install that extension. Made it easier when restarting the browser each time! Same with the themes HTML file.

| said by Grail Knight :I am really interested once IE7 is released how many users move back to IE from Firefox if Mozilla can not keep to any schedule they set. That is one of the big complaints about MS-IE not going anywhere for years on end. An excellent question!
I've been around only a short time, but long enough that most of you know how I feel about a few certain issues.
***People also know that I both love and use Firefox.
I also use IE and look forward to the release of IE7.
What I have a hard time understanding though, is why (more often than not it seems), Firefox users have to constantly jump all over IE users as if they were some kind of disease or something.
Why always the "holier-than-thou" attitude among FF users?
(Keep in mind I'm not pointing fingers at anyone specifically).
Firefox is not without faults, far from it in fact.
And IMHO a Looooong way for being a Browser that the "average" user (namely 90% of the World) can fully understand and use without a lot of tweaking.
To get back to the original point, while I'm sure I will continue to use Firefox, (remember, I like tweaking), I think if IE7 is any good at all, there will indeed be a lot of people that will have had enough of all this nonsense of trying to successfully update while keeping everything "working", among other never ending irritations.
I also feel that serious exploits will become more common as the Browser becomes more popular. (That is if it does).
Only my VERY HUMBLE OPINION (again).
Sorry, I know many are tired of hearing this same ol' speech.
Just remember.....Firefox is not some sort of "Digital God".
It's just another Browser.
And people can dump it as quickly as they found it. (Especially if they don't eventually get their act together).
Have a nice day.

| I agree jabar. I started using Firefox after hearing about all of IE's flaws. You constantly hear people in this forum berate Microsoft everytime a new vulnerability is discovered and Microsoft takes a little time to issue a patch. Now we discover that Firefox has a gaping security hole with Javascript which other browsers do not have (that is IE and Opera) and yet the only workaround is to disable Javascript completely. Where is that lightning fast response to this security vulnerability that Mozilla Developers are supposedly known for? I think Opera must be alot more refined and secure so I am dumping Firefox and following the lead of the Norwegians and using Opera primarily and Maxthon when I must. | |

I decided to try this after installing 1.0.3 final last night and downloaded from a URL you gave in the mozillazine stipe thread and I noted a slightly different revision number to yours although the same date - rv:1.7.8

In the space of the last 24 hours I have used some 3 different builds (first the zip 1.03 but I did not want the Dom Inspector - I really like things lean - then the one with the installer where I can choose not to install Dom Inspector and finally s8V4) and I gather you are running two versions. Have you done some comparisons for speed between the two?

| Re: [FireFox] 1.0.3 Testing Hello Peter,
I did a minor speed test of both the Official and Stipe builds this afternoon. The difference was ever so slight. My theory on that is that the Mozilla Devs are starting to add some of the tweaks that the 3rd. Party devs have been using all along.
It only makes sense that the MozDevs would start including proven enhancements.
Right now I am using the Official Nightly zip as Stipe's build messed up a few extensions. They need updated anyway, but I will go back to Stipe's build later in the week. I bounce around and use what I think is working best on my machine.
Have a good evening.
Greg
