Ack, I commented in the last blog entry about this version. :P But I'll say that though I've only been using it a few minutes, I've had no problems. Java and Flash are working fine with Adblock enabled, though I updated Java a few minutes ago, so that could possibly be part of it. I do get this error in the JavaScript console, however:

Error: this.mTabBrowser.mProgressListeners has no properties
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/tabbrowser.xml
Line: 343

*Hides*

....Trying this new version in a blank profile, I don't get that error in the JavaScript console. I do still get that one when I view a page with a Java applet, though.

Error: document.applets[0].focus is not a function

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050408 Firefox/1.0.3

*Hides again*

i downloaded 1.0.3 and now if i right-click on a URL ... Firefox shuts down. Is this a known bug in the system? or is it mine thats causing this issue?

You should have a look at Bug 289513 and Bug 289667. Both of them are regressions from the patch applied for Bug 285438 (which I think is in branch1.0.3).

everything works fine again for me
flashblock and flash are ok

good work! ;)

After about an hour of usage I haven't had any obvious problems anyway.

I did clean install with a new profile and ff crashed four times in an hour, don't know why, three times I was searching from Google and one time reading some forum posts.
I didn't notice these problems with earlier candidates...

Haven't noticed other problems so far

system info was missing:

Uninstalled previous 1.0.3RC before installing this one. Using old profile I get lots of crashes (more than whole year so far) when browsing multiple tabs open. Usually crashes when opening a new tab from a link and other tabs are still loading.
Couldn't reproduce with new profile (default theme, no extensions).
All previous 1.0.3RC's have worked ok for me.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050408 Firefox/1.0.3 [Extensions: Adblock, BBCode, FLST, Linkification, BugMeNot, AutoCopy]

I used the 1.0.3 on my profile, it said old extensions would be disabled but it's not the case: Adblock and Flashgot are enabled but don't work.
The text size of tabs was too big with Opera 7.5x theme, but it did not happen everytime.

I disabled then enabled these extensions, restarted Firefox and they work.

Adblock finally works for me again under Linux. Keep up the good work!

After running this RC for two or three hours i see it's taking up rather alot of memory: ff103-180mb.png

I don't know if this is anything other than the old ordinary memory leaks or if this is something special for this RC...

Sorry, that should have been http://home.student.uu.se/dana3949/temp/ff103-180mb.png

Asa, it still crashes doing the test on http://bcheck.scanit.be/bcheck/mangle.php

I think Linkification extension is causing crashes for me. (Uninstalled it and can't crash ff anymore :) )

I've been running for around four hours and Firefox is now using a W-H-O-P-P-I-N-G 326 MB. Hmmm... I could have sworn this never happened to me before...

I am an end user of Firefox, who happens to like something new. This build (RC6, 20050408) works fine for me. However, I have one problem, although this has happend to me for some time (so it is obvious that it is not caused by this build): I have two entries of Firefox(es?) --- English is not my native language--- in an open-with menu. (Pointing a html file ---> right click ---> open with ---> two Firefox entries).

I have istalled several versions of Firefox(es?) so far, including that of nightlies. But now I have only one version of it (1.0.3 RC6). I would like you to fix this problem, not now, but in the near future :-)

My system is Windows XP Professional, SP2 (US-English version).

I have now tried using Firefox 1.0.3 RC XVII ;-) with a clean profile, and I (seem to) get the same memory leaks as with my default profile.

Phil Randal: That (bcheck.scanit.be) is one fine tool!

Good job...

Adblock works again without bugging flash files & alternative quicktime

David: FF will use will all the memory available to cache webpages. High memory usage doesn't mean there's a memory leak.

If you don't want FF to use memory this way, then set the maximum amount of memory FF is allowed to use as cache:

about:config -> set "browser.cache.memory.capacity" to any value (specified in kB). Set it to "-1" to restore default behaviour.

Adblock is working normally again........everything else seems to be working that was wacked out in the previous release candidates also.

Besides previous errors I got from Scrapbook extension in Javascript console, I see one more:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIObserverService.removeObserver]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml :: destroy :: line 569" data: no]

I cannot use my old profile, again.

Ced, that doesn't work. Never has.

The problem with Firefox's memory usage is that doesn't give it back. Run Firefox for long enough and eventually the system will start paging to disk for everything.

It's been mentioned that this has been fixed for 1.1 - I hope it has!

During install of:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050408 Firefox/1.0.3

Also noted a strange file located here:

Everything is working smooth here. My java and flash are back working in this version and my extensions all carried over fine.

Dan100: I don't garantee that tip works as i've never had to use it, but I've never suffered from memory leaks either. I, too, run FF for days without closing it, browsing hundreds on pages on multiple tabs, and still, FF consumes a decent amount of memory and definitely does not waste any.

On my system, FF uses 20 to 25% of RAM, which is equal to 40/50MB. The rest is used by other applications and the system itself. There's barely no swap usages either.

Haven't really done much useful testing for extensions - I'm playing with these candidate on my work machine where I don't want to go too nuts with my profile. This build is working fine for me (on win2k) with the couple of extensions that I do have (UA switcher, liveheaders, chatzilla), but then the previous candidates worked ok for me too...

I've havent tried 1.0.3 yet, but I wont upgrade until I know.

* All my extenstions will work
* It wont sap resources (Memory/CPU..)

FF 1.0.3 should stablise a little first, we're in no rush, lets get it right before releasing.

mdew: This version of 1.0.3 is working fine for me. It shouldn't hurt you to try it, though I always back up my profile before trying a new version, "just in case". Really, these aren't a radical rewrite; there are some shanges, but they aren't huge. (right?)

Also, it doesn't use any more memory for me than 1.0.2.

Peng: I use trunk at home, I don't mind unstability in that case, however at work, I do require a near-perfect browser. Reading some posts here, people are still experiencing some extension compatibility problems, and the memory sapping bug (as posted by other users), has me concerned.

Is it me or is the linux build still 1.0.2?

that was bizzare... nevermind, it's 1.0.3... oops

getting crashes in js3250.dll. using old profile. can't see exact cause.

have these extensions enabled:

allinone gestures 0.12.4
ieview 0.86
downthemall 0.9.4
linkification 0.9.20

adblock 0.5.2.039
nuke anything 0.2
sessionsaver .2 d1 nightly 27
mozilla archive format 0.5
forecastfox 0.7.1

please don't release like this. never had crashes before. had to type this out twice due to crash (way to list extensions?). going to bed.

Error: this.data[row] has no properties
Source File: chrome://browser/content/pageInfo.js
Line: 42

Getting this error quite frequently

Maybe same reason here as JS above, linkification was the reason for crashes.
Now it has been stable for over 12 hours.

mdew: Well, you could just try 1.0.3 (maybe back up your profile first to be safe), and see how it works with your extensions and if it uses more memory than usual. That's the only real way to find out how it will work for you. :)

Or, of course, you could wait for the final release of 1.0.3 to come out. I expect there will be one or two more release candidates before teh final version, and they should fix some of the problems with it.

But I figure you should just try the current 1.0.3 and see how it works for you. If there are problems, just go back to 1.0.2.

Oh, I just found an odd bug: If you right-click on a link and select Properties, instead of just showing the little information about the link, it shows, well, a lot more stuff. It does not happen to me on the 20050406 or 20050404 1.0.3 builds.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050408 Firefox/1.0.3

Any info on whether bug 283369 will be fixed for 1.0.3? It isn't clear to me (the bug says it is fixed, though I can't tell which release it is fixed for).

Sorry if it is obvious! Am still trying to find my way around these things!

Srs., first forgives for the quality of the text. I used the translator of google to translate my text.

An error in the Firefox exists that occurs has várisa versions.

If the Thunderbird will be opened, loading messages, and I to finish to open the Firefox and to drag for one sing holding in its bar of heading, when untied it closes itself.

I am using the SO Linux, Conectiva Linux 10 distribution, with Kernel 2.6.11 and KDE 3.3.2.

Firefox 1.0.3 simply refuses to show up. Task is present in the task list, but no window appears. I have to kill it manually.
Clean profile, both exe and zip.
Reverted back to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050304 Firefox/1.0+

After update to 1.0.3-Beta I can't log IN any more in my Bank Account. My bank account site is www.bancodobrasil.com.br and it uses a flash based security program.

Also I frequently have problems with a pop up saying "Document not found" when I'm browsing the internet.

Another weird problem is that in an INVISION forum that I make part almost no-one can log in and post messages using any version of firefox: forum.clubedohardware.com.br

as an update to my last post, it does (as others have suggested) seem to be linkification 0.9.20 (haven't tested other versions) + this 1.0.3 candidate that causes crashes. been using this version for several hours with (only) that extension disabled and no more crashes. re-enable that extension, get crashes again immediately.

errors from other extensions in js console are also present in 1.0.2, so not reporting.
using Winxp sp2, Sun Java 5.0

so chalk me up as another confirmation of Linkification crash issue.
(for anyone with this problem that can't get the browser to stay up long enough to disable the extension, use 1.0.2)

Smiff is right, it helped for me (didn't have time to search what the cause was :) )

No crashes so far with linkification 0.9.20 disabled (enabled it does crash)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050408 Firefox/1.0.3

FYI, the candidate build works fine with Greasemonkey, which is remarkable since I think GM probably does everything the wrong way twice.

The only problem was because some user script authors were referencing window._content from the content context and expecting it to resolve to window. This appears to have been removed in 1.0.3, but I can understand that they shouldn't have been doing that in the first place.

Print or printpreview still does not work with this version of Firefox (especially the mozilla pages!).

Try http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=244939

This is essential to be fixed!

Just to say, the problem with viewing a link's properties looks to be fixed in 20050410. :)

....Buuuut it breaks DictionarySearch. Maybe I should just go back to 1.0.2, or the version of 1.0.3 from the fourth that I had no problems with. x_x

I downloaded and tried installing 20050410 build from

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-aviary1.0.1/

But when I make right-click, I find two or three lines of blank spaces for missing extensions, at least, one of which is that of DictionarySearch 0.7.

I deinstalled the newest build, and went back to 20050408, which is more stable for me.

My system is Windows XP, SP2.

The Plugin Finder does not handle this type/page:

http://www.adobe.com/svg/overview/interactive.html
(Click on the Chart demo)

end user: Yup, that's what happened with it and DictionarySearch 0.8 for me.

It looks like the Linux version of the 20050410 was removed from the server. Well, I'll try 20050409 in a minute.

All right, 20050409 works fine with DictionarySearch, but it only looks to be available for Linux.

Gosh, I've downloaded close to 100 MB of Firefox tarballs. >_

Also, the Linux version of 20050411 just appeard on the server. I'll try it. :)

I do like noticing that all the bugs that have affected me with these 1.0.3 release candidates have been fixed in the next build I try.

Oops, nevermind about 20050409 only being available for Linux. :P I didn't look far enough up in the list.

Oh, gosh. The Linux version of 20050410 is there, and I just downloaded the wrong file when trying to get 20050411. I need to sleep now.

Also, the ">_" was a typo. It was supposed to be ">_

And sorry for posting four comments in a row.

You asked for feedback? I hope you'll accept it from a simple "end-user".

I am using:

Windows XP Servica Pack 1

Under "About Mozilla Firefox" is the following:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;en-US;rv:1.7.7)Gecko/20050408 Firefox 1.0.3

Theme in use: Noia 2.0 (eXtreme) 2.81

Other themes:

Firefix (default) 2.0

Enabled Extensions: (17)

A's Yahoo! mail notifier 0.5.4
Adblock 0.5.2.039
Bookmark Backup 0.3.3

QuickNote 0.6
SessionSaver .2 0.2.1.025
Sort Extensions 1.0
SpellBound 0.7.3
Tab Mix 0.1.5
TrustBar 0.2

Reactions:

- Spellbound does not work on start up (works fine in FF 1.0.2). Complains that Spellbound dictionary perhaps needs to be re-installed. No apparent change after re-installing user dictonary. Then suddenly starts working, (but asks for dictionary).

- RSS Feed widget/tool (?) located at the bottom of the screen, next to the "Google Preview Options" button, takes a while to become visable/useful

- Occasionsally, scroll windows (for this text-entry box, as an example) do not show up when the entire window is less than a full window (with menu items visable).

- Occasionally, the top, thin line of a text-entry box (such as this one) disappears when srolling up or down. The remaining lines (bottom left side, right side next to scroll bar) do not change. Eventually, this line "re-draws" itself.

I think what I am saying is a general over all slowness for the extension and some of the screen re-draw functions? Again, I am just a user :)

So far that's it. I hope this information assists you. I must say that you folks are doing a heck of a job with this browser. Thank you so much for your efforts.

Sincerely,

Ah, finally managed to download 20050411. It is not working with DictionarySearch.

Also, I notice that > and everything after them on the line is cut out.

Um, I'll shut up now.

Can any of you that are seeing a crash using linkification please submit your talkback ID to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289949 or attach a stack trace if you're on a debug build? Thanks.

Yup DictionarySearch 0.8 is causing problems, it makes a gab in the right click menu & and doesn't work.

No crashes so far, even with Linkification 0.9.20 on (haven't checked if it still works)

Also don't know if this is because its a test version, but the rapidly link (is that the right word?) doesn't get made @ start => programs.

Even if you disable the settings for not making one, it still does make a map for it (containing no links in it)

Although no problem for me (already had one in my start => programs)

The current 1.0.3 still appears to be having problems processing some javsscripts. On westlaw.com (subscription only, so you can't access it w/o an account), for example, certain windows invoked by javascript commands open, but don't fully populate. (If that's the right word: The window appears, but the content that's supposed to be inside never does.) Uninstalling 1.0.3 and reinstalling 1.0.2 consistently fixes the problem. I probably can provide more info re the javascript commands at issue, etc. if someone tells me what to look for and where to look (being able to spell the word "javascript" pretty much exhausts my knowledge of javacripts or how Firefox processes them).

Spoke to soon, Linkification 0.9.20 is still causing crashed :-(

Noticed that tab preference extension is no longer compatible with nautipolis theme since firefox 1.02.. Tried all latest nautipolis themes but the Tab Browsing menu will not show in the option menu .Tried other themes and the Tab Browsing menu works fine. Is this already known? Will there be a fix? Really miss my nautipolis theme but cannot part with my tab preferences.Currently using firefox 1.03rc and problem still exists.

I tried a newer version (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050412 Firefox/1.0.3). The same problem of blank spaces for missing extensions when right-clicked still remains ;-)

I just wanted to say that some greasemonkey scripts do not work (customizegoogle, hide iframes, nomiddleman) while others do work (frame killer plus, expand text area, anti-disabler). Sorry I took so long to finally say this. I noticed it several days ago.

DictionarySearch 0.8 is still causing problems, it makes a gab in the right click menu & and doesn't work.

don't know if Linkification 0.9.20 is gonna crash or not :-)

Yup Linkification 0.9.20 still crashing :-)

Bookmarks @ start => programs is fixed though :-)

A path to fix the Linkification crash just landed.
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?branch=AVIARY_1_0_1_20050124_BRANCH&branchtype=exact&date=week

...patch, that is.
It looks like 1.0.3 is really shaping up. I think I'll try a new build tomorrow.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050412 Firefox/1.0.3

No more crashes with Linkification :)

Yup no crashes.
Still the DictionarySearch problem though

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050412 Firefox/1.0.3

I also got Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050412 Firefox/1.0.3 and it seems things are working pretty well. Greasemonkey scripts work. I just looked and there are even more recent builds of 1.0.3, so apparently there are still things getting worked on.

The previous build of 1.0.3 that had scripts problems was from 20050408.
