I just hope its a bit better than the G5 specific build, which seemed to run slower that 1.0 Preview.
Testing shortly.

Make that 4 new bugs

Seem to be problems with dynamically positioned html and iframes
Pages not rendering correctly (<hr> lines with bends in the middle of them)
The browser forward / back buttons are not working properly
Div elements (position:absolute) exhibiting the same problem as <hr> (i.e. borders not rendering as straight lines)

Done a complete uninstall, removed all traces of anything mozilla related from the registry, then re-installed. The browser forward / back buttons are now working, so I guess that was probably down to some issue involving upgrading from the pre-release to the new version.

The other problems still seem to be there though....

Seems like a vast improvement to me Loads quicker and is managing to stop itself from sucking all my RAM when more that 8 tabs are open.

Might be just a problem with the windows build then, (I assume you're using it on the Mac?).

There definitely seem to be major issues with hidden divs and window redraws (tried it on 3 machines and am seeing the same problems on all of them - xp sp2). None of these problems were evident in the pre-release....

Yup, I'm checking on my Mac at the moment, although I will be loading it to my PC too. I'll let you know if I get any of the same.



Do you get the new "Googleized" homepage, I find that interesting.

I will be changing it to google.co.uk soon, I just say its interesting as it sits on Google.com servers and is branded FireFox. Obviously a deal between the 2 and a possible sign of things to come?

Link incase you hadn't seen it.

Ooer, interesting stuff.

There is a google toolbar at the top of the browser window as well, (there by default), so it looks as though there may indeed be some sort of deal going on between the two...
