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

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050417 Firefox/1.0.4 Thanks Grail but I went, like I gather you did, with a stipe 1.0.3/1.0.4 version. 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?

Most likely an update to the engine as these are built a few times a day.
I grabbed mine at 0530 EST.
I will grab tomorrows build as usual and see if I have that revision number and get back to you.

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

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.

I'm starting to think along those lines also. Trying to keep up with with the constant barrage of updates on multiple machines is starting to wear on me. I will definitely be checking out IE7 when it becomes available. I will miss the tabbed browsing though

said by Peterg1 : (Partial but relevant quote) ......to mess around like we constantly do with tinkering with this and tinkering with that and I am sure the novelty has worn off for many. Peter Ok, here I go again. (The good news is, you won't have to listen to me much in the Mozilla Forum anymore, unless I can maybe help someone out at times).
I'll be honest with you.
I've recently come to realize that the "Novelty" has indeed started to "wear off" for me....how sad.
I realize I said earlier that I "like tweaking", but upon further reflection, I think this is almost becoming comical now.
Personally, I'm about as close as I've ever been to yanking this "never ending Beta" (and I'm talking since DAY ONE of the release of Firebird), from all four of my machines.
I may keep it on one "just for fun", but trying to keep up with this nonsense on four of them is just plain silly now.
To people that continue to think this Browser is the greatest thing since sliced Bread, and continue to rag on Microsoft, all I can say is that as far as I'm concerned, this project is almost a joke now.
I can't help but wonder how long it will survive. (Unless of course Microsoft buys it).
I may be "Cruising With Opera Beta 3" myself shortly.
Or just continue to use IE and Maxthon while eagerly awaiting IE7, where I can enjoy browsing instead of spending half of my life uninstalling and reinstalling a bunch of back yard experiments.
