I tried many times, even right now with pre beta 4 trunk builds with a clean profile. The only thing I manually import are bookmarks, passwords, cookies, formhistory.

And it eats a lot of battery too... I know it is a macromedia fault but still browser should be able to do something with it.

If you want something that's less likely to blow up, get Firefox 3 Beta 3 and update to Firefox 3 Beta 4 when it comes out (likely next week). If you want to try out the latest changes and help us make Firefox 3 Beta 4 as good as possible, get a nightly and report any bugs you run into :) The 1.8 branch corresponds to Firefox 2.0.0.x, while the 1.8.0 branch corresponds to Firefox 1.5.0.x. Trunk is where most active development is happening. I think Central is still experimental, only used by people who are thinking about Mozilla 2.

I am more or less confused from 1.8, 1.8.0, trunk, central and so on... which one should I pick? Are these changes here being added to the upcoming beta4 of firefox 3.0? or firefox 3.0 is on another branch and this is 3.0.1? is it better to download firefox 3.0 beta3 from official site or is it better to download today's trunk? thanks for answers, I think it should be safe to pick up a trunk now, but I am really confused from so many builds in nightly directory.

is it better to download firefox 3.0 beta3 from official site or is it better to download today’s trunk?

thanks for answers, I think it should be safe to pick up a trunk now, but I am really confused from so many builds in nightly directory.

Thank you for taking the time to post it, Ken Jesse,
