Open a group of bookmarks in tabs, do a Find in one tab, switch to another tab and try to do a Find. Broken since Beta 2. Works fine in Beta 1. The “Find” bug between multiple tabs still exists.

The partial update is less than 1MB for all platforms (Win32, Mac PPC, Linux x86). The channel-prefs.js file is inside the application directory (on Mac, right-click the application and select "Show Package Contents").

But if i leave the page (for exemple, by closing the tab), the third download will never launch. - Also, in the same case, if two downloads are launched, if i click on TWO other links, only the last one will be loaded when one of the first two finishes. So if i wan’t to download 10 files from a site which supports only two downloads, i have to click on three links (two files are launched and one is “enqueued” but not visible in the download manager) and when a tranfers completes, i can enqueue another one file but only one. if anyone encounter these bugs tell me please. Thanks. I have updated my build to 20051024 and encounter 2 bugs :

And perhaps you're a useless wanker. Go use the stable builds. Or perhaps its because a huge heap of the code has been reworked, including the focusing?

When I began to use phoenix I hoped for new fresh start - alternatively a refresh, after those years I am still getting bugs like: - Not able to type in textbox of the main window after download completes. and many more funny bugs like this...someone will talk about broken focus here but there are really funny bugs and bugfix all over here. Hope I will get some time and make a funny collection finnaly. Coding a real project you can't have bugs like this, but it seems XUL hasn't evolved right or the language C is really getting anachronous this time. I can write bug free and feature rich web browser using .NET20 in a week. That's because of awesome quality of FCL library and beautifuly power of language that C# is. Obviously OOP and good framework wins here big time. Wish mono would be far far more ahead. inflammatory on purpose, yes you are right.
