Not sure if this stems from my imagination, restarting the browser or both…but this build feels a hell of a lot snappier on top of all of these fixes. Not just page loads, but the interface as well. Did someone do some work on the memory footprint?

(Mac 10.3.9 w/ 256 megs and a 400mhz G3…usually a bit sluggish)

I hope bug 303395 will get some attention soon. I’m stuck with the Fedora releases until this gets fixed and really prefer to use the nightlies.

Oh, and just recently a comment on “automatic app update updates to trunk”:

AUS should no longer be updating branches to trunk.

I’m amazed by the recent spree of fixes to long standing / serious bugs, some heavily voted on too!

Just in the last three days fixes to
- Two clicks on “Install Now” button are necessary to install an extension
- With bfcache enabled, Rocker Navigation extension stops text entry into textarea
- Find Toolbar sometimes appears when typing into textareas / form input fields.
- Back/Forward / bfcache breaks JavaScript.
- Crash [@ nsWindowSH::GetProperty] when loading a page with many frames
- Download manager fails to close with files that download very quickly

Wow… :D

Please add one regression to your list, which has been existing since ~FF1.04 and causes lots of trouble: Bug #252371 (incremental find/search in page does not find/highlight text in textarea/form/text entry boxes). This bug has received 196 (!) votes in bugzilla and is a REAL problem to FF-usability…
