Is it just me for whom Firefox 2 crashes continually? It seemed fine
until I deleted the old version, and now it crashes with regular
monotony.

It /did/ crash all the time - but the latest version is really well
behaved. Are you using one of the release candidates?

It mainly used to crash on wake though, and never during browsing.

Well, V2 has been fine for me - although I *still* can't right-click &
select 'Save Image As...' (well I can, but nothing happens). Been like
that since V1... :-(

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-GB; rv:1.8.1)
Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

Mine crashes randomly.

Odd.

I've noticed that jpegs render differently in Safari and Firefox (the
new one) - here's a screen capture of the simulataneous browsers ...

different engines?

I dunno, but I prefer the rendering of Safari, on the right in the
example

Have you tried deleting its profile folder then relaunching (back it up
first so you can restore your bookmarks etc)?

Safari uses ColorSync and I'd be surprised if Firefox does. I bet that
explains the difference.

Cheers,

Odd. I just tried it (using Ctrl-click as I have my right click mapped
to double click) and it works perfectly in Firefox 1.5.0.7.

However, being true to my religion, I'm not going to install V.2 for
some while yet.

Much more saturated, isn't it? I much prefer the one on the left.

I've just done it, we shall see - although silly boy I forgot to save
the stores passwords too - I will have to see if I can rememebr them
all - I have been relying on Firefox to knw them all for so long!

I've read the files go to your home directory instead of the desktop...

OK - I'll check later. But they just 'go there'? Without actually asking you
*where* you wanted them? 'Save Image As...' seems to me a question that's
expecting an answer!

Really? In 1.5.0.7 I get a 'Save as' dialogue, so I can choose where it
goes, and once set it remembers the target directory so all I have to do
is <ret>.

Aha. I've noticed that if I drag an attachment from Thunderbird to my
desktop, it will often arrive in my home directory.

Is this a 'feature'?

Looks very much like a bug to me.
