2004-10-27 Branch Builds (RC1)

  • Fixed: 266221 - Profile migration is broken (since Oct 26 late).
  • Since Oct 26: 263844 - Window.close() not working on new windows opened into tabs.

This is a fake release candidate: it was made knowing that it would not be identical to 1.0 (and not just in the version number). The remaining 1.0 blockers are not very exciting. They are mostly version number changes, obscure crashes, and localization changes.

Because of the fix for bug 266221, these builds will not automatically update when Firefox 1.0 comes out. If you install 1.0 RC1 for friends, be sure to tell them to upgrade when 1.0 comes out, in case there are security fixes between now and Firefox 1.0.
