Deer Park (firefox 1.1) alpha is out

Stark

For those who live on the bleeding edge.

Be warned, the trunk builds were quite unstable last time I tried. That's mostly why they're branding this release "Deer Park" rather than "Firefox" so the great unwashed won't accidentally download it.

Adblock doesn't seem to work with it.

On the plus side, it automatically installs alongside Firefox rather than overwriting it.

Actually other than incompatibility with certain extensions (notably Adblock for me), this release seems quite stable.

just downloaded it. What exactly is the difference. Seems to be all the same really. Presume its all the behind the scenes have changed?

You can get a hacked version that will work just fine somewhere on the Forums. This is damn unstable though

Got the hacked version of Adblock, and I'm using it as my primary browser now.

What instabilities have you noticed?

There is a problem in that it installs itself to a different directory to Firefox but shares the same folder, so playing around with extensions in one can break the other.

Basically random crashes and messed up rendering of one or two sites (BOI website worked fien before but now is totally messed up). Nothing major but this is not a browser for anyone other then people who like to cut themselves on the bleeding edge
