Best solution I've found yet to extension compatibility issues is
to install the "Nightly Tester Tools" extension.

Hi, Ho,

Once again, could it be possible that you bundle this up and give it to the mag for publication? it would really help. We need more contributors!!

Before the 1.5 Beta 1 is available, I was using the Deer Park Alpha, a version mean only for developer's testing. However, in the Alpha version, the automated update component was not available.

While I was using the Deer Park Alpha 2, sometime the browser will freeze and hang for no reason. But so far, I've not encountered this problem in 1.5 Beta 1.

SVG support is undeniably a step-ahead right move.

In my opinion, the best part of this beta build is the SVG and canvas support! Rocks!

Want your extensions to work?

Just add a string variable to about:config called app.extensions.version and set the value to 1.0

Haven't had chance to try it yet, but had a lot of reports saying it's much faster, looks nicer aswell, neat changes to the interface.

Just need to wait for all the extensions to be recoded :)
