Wow this could turn out to be a pretty big black eye for FF. I think the problem might be mitigated in the future if they release all the languages at once..

OSS PING

If you are interested in a new OSS ping list please mail me
Does anyone know if this is why Fedora has not released its update for 1.0.4 yet?

How can this be. I've only heard that big bad M$ makes such stupid mistakes. Is firefox Open Source? It must not be Open Source because Open Source NEVER makes such a failure.

Give me Open Source as it never has bugs or security holes and it always easily patches. Is that a contradiction in that statement? oh well. Long live Open Source and down with the evil vile M$.

I am still using 1.0.4. Did not realize there was a new release. I won't upgrade. It is annoying to have to upgrade every couple months and lose access to extensions for a few days.

Yep. XP is worth the $5.00 I paid for it.

will be updated for the second time in a week

I'll stick with my Firefox, thank you very much. I can't remember the last time MS released an error, found it, *admitted to it*, and corrected it within a week.

I am now getting slammed with spyware in Firefox. Thank goodness Spybot is catching it.

Who actually uses the 1.0.x series? Just about anything from the trunk has been much, much better for a long time now.

I can only use Firefox on sites that do not have Quicktime elements. Browser freezes with any Quicktime application on ESPN, MLB, etc.

Apparently, there are a lot of others who have this same issue from the various boards I have been on trying to solve the problem.

It appears security fixes in last week's 1.0.5 update caused the problems.

This can't be true, from what I have heard Firefox had no security problems. < /sarcasm >
