Do you like the Night Build - 1.6a?

Posted by Tutsumi on Tue, 02/07/2006 - 23:22Firefox Press

While searching the Extentions for FX, I noticed they had out 1.6 builds listed when I found a drop down list.  So being the inquizitor that I am, I searched for it.

Would you rather this over the current build?

I sometimes use it

Deer Park's OK. The strange thing is, it's much more stable than 1.5 beta 2, which was, frankly, crap. It's amazing that an alpha is better than a beta ***2***  ever was.

It all depends what you

It all depends what you prefer. The current nightly has some new bugs which 1.5 doesn't have (adding new toolbar is a bit difficult and sometimes the browser doesn't start), but it also has some memory leaks and other bugs fixed, which still exist in the stable version.

But of course if you use this version you should be prepared to surprices. Some day after a update your profile might corrupt or other bad things might happen (I have never experienced any major bad things, except annoying GUI bugs, but people should be prepared anyway, as you are basicly using a software that has been tested by a few people only before you).

I'm currently using it with nightly tester tools extension to force all-in-one gestures and html validator to work with it:

And I'm pretty happy with it.
