If you don't mind the regressions, I recommend upgrading to this build because of the security fixes it includes.
I also recommend that you enable error pages, now that they don't suck. To enable error pages, go to about:config and set browser.xul.error_pages.enabled to true.

:-) All this green … it was a long time we didn’t see something like that !
Maybe let’s wait for tomorrow’s build, given that the annoying 282872 “Download dialog OK button to click twice” is now fixed.
February 21st, 2005 at 12:46 am
You posted 260951 as fixed but it is reopened.

Thanks Hussam. I moved it back to the list of regressions.
February 21st, 2005 at 7:57 am
Could you add Bug 273466 to the regression list please, it’s the only thing stopping me from using the trunk builds (I know it sounds trivial but I use that feature all the time).

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050220 Firefox/1.0+
/File/New Window does not open a new window;
equivalent splat-N gets a spinner next to the mouse pointer until the mouse pointer is moved, but no window;
/File/New Tab does work
February 21st, 2005 at 9:23 am
Slightly changed in
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050221 Firefox/1.0+
/File/New Window now produces the little transient spinner next to the mouse pointer;
the equivalent Splat-N (command-N, Apple-N) key command today makes the File menu label turn blue momentarily, and initiates the little transient spinner next to the mouse pointer.

Just upgraded to the 2005-02-21-07 nightly build, and I can no longer open the DownloadWith options dialog. A small window opens up instead, with the following line of text:
“!DOCTYPE overlay SYSTEM “chrome://downloadwith/locale/downloadwith.dtd” –^”
NOTE: The angle brackets at the beginning and after ‘.dtd’ were not included because the whole line was removed from the post otherwise.
I installed the FF nightly over the top of FF 1.0 and the DW integration still works since when I click on a link to a file, my download manager opens up instead of the FF DM.
Some people might say switch to the FlashGot extension, but it doesn’t support MetaProducts Download Express which I currently use.
Any ideas on why it doesn’t show the DW Options dialog ?
Also, whats the best way to see what bugs have been fixed in nightly builds ?

I assume this is known and on someone’s list — still with today’s Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050222 Firefox/1.0+
FF won’t open a new window — or any window at all, if no window is open. It’ll open a new tab, if a window’s already open.
Javascript console shows a wall’o’pink-error-items, with this at the top:
Error: [Exception… “Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref]” nsresult: “0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)” location: “JS frame :: file:///Users/hank/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsDefaultCLH.js :: clh_handle :: line 81” data: no]
