Theme switching should work in tomorrows builds!

BTW: Todays build is really great, the Find Toolbar is now finally working. :-)

Yes, I think I'll get this one too. :-) If this goes on, you'll need safety belts for the speed the great developers are moving to 1.0. :-D Hmm, 8 fixes (!) for FAYT and trim_on_minimize working again.

He didn't do any visible (at least for me) work in Firefox for months now. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Pierre Chanial ?

im guessing it releases mextra resources (i.e. memory) when the browser is minimised?

It's true by default, and the bug was that setting it to false wasn't working. As I understood from skimming the bug:

It might not be too obvious why you might want to *not* do this (let it optimize its memory usage), but a problem can occur if you care more for minimal delays from restoring Firefox and switching tabs, than about used memory. It's particularly frustrating if you work with several apps at once, where some requires a lot of memory, but you know you'll often use Firefox too. Then you might get a lot of swap-in/out annoyances as you switch to/from Firefox. Regarding trim_on_minimize:
