1 - Improve usability, stability and speed for Firefox users in Ubuntu. Beta 5 has some big issues.

2 - This also would help the Mozilla dev team because there would be thousand of users using RC1 instead of Beta5.

3 - The "Beta" can confuse some users.


So, what do you think?

Thats why I haven't commented this yet..]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 14:43:13 +0000 Mon, 19 May 2008 15:16:11 +0000 Mon, 19 May 2008 16:24:09 +0000 Check for Updates, but in Ubuntu you have to wait for them to send up the updates in the repos. Why can't it just be straight from mozilla?]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 19:12:17 +0000
Will there be an idea in Brainstorm every time a program included in Ubuntu gets a new release upstream ?

Do you think that the Ubuntu devs are waiting for you to say "hey, program X has a new update. Come on you lazy packagers, just update it in Ubuntu!" ???

You get a -1 for this.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 21:28:36 +0000
The think is I read that the maintainers were going to wait for the final release of FF3. That is why I created this.

I know how the package and repositories system works in Ubuntu...]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 22:08:28 +0000 +1]]> Wed, 21 May 2008 14:18:55 +0000
Do you thing that Ubuntu is using some special, magic version of Firefox, compiled in full moon on holy PC desktops? :))

I don't thing that they had changed something in source code, so there is no need to wait for developers, developers, developers :)]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 13:07:01 +0000
every time, I have to reboot my system because firefox - or better, freezefox, will make it freeze at some point!]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 21:15:18 +0000
It doesn't even seem like the Firefox devs are willing to fix it before final release as it is critical and wasn't fixed in RC (which is usually a real final release)... :S

Here is the bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421482

Seems related to this bug in the Kernel: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9546
(hint hint, if any Ubuntu dev comes here ^^)]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 17:25:26 +0000
that's bad .... hardy was the one ubuntu release with I had the largest and most terrible types of regressions ... :(

Hopefully they will fix that on firefox 3 ... I can't wait to try out freezefox rc1, thought ... some people reported to have a better cpu/system load using it ...]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 17:34:16 +0000 Sun, 25 May 2008 00:03:35 +0000 Sun, 25 May 2008 22:56:08 +0000 Mon, 26 May 2008 04:04:01 +0000 I agree, but RC1 was shipped on May 16 and now we have May 27 and it still isn't here. So this idea is fully justified. I only hope that final new versions of Fx3 will find their way to repos a lot faster...]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 04:56:43 +0000
Mozilla already said, they are working on fixing it.

In the future, please refrain from posting bug reports which you heard from some noob in digg.. ]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 09:59:03 +0000
Every upstream application puts out new releases from time to time which fix and cause new bugs. The most important fixes are generally cherry picked by released distro version from those applications to fix major issues, but without major testing new upstream versions are not (and should not) be added to a released distro version.

However, you can add hardy-proposed and hardy-backports to get some of the upcoming (incompletely tested) updates, or you can track 8.10 if you must always have the latest versions all of the time, or you can track 8.04.x if you want all of the untested versions of packages targeted for the next point release.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 15:29:08 +0000
