Firefox 1.0.6 Next Week?

[Chachazz]

Just days after the releases of Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5 and Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.5, it appears likely that

1.0.6 versions of the two applications could be coming as early as next week. It is understood that API changes in 1.0.5 unintentionally broke some extensions.

In comment 45 of bug 300028, Rafael Ebron said yesterday, "We received feedback on 1.0.5 from distributors and extension developers on API changes that affected them (not a security issue), so we're looking at a 1.0.6 to fix it." It is known that the Enigmail PGP extension for Thunderbird does not work in version 1.0.5.

Please help us test 1.0.6 builds

We are getting ready to release Firefox 1.0.6, Thunderbird 1.0.6, and Mozilla Suite 1.7.10 to address some API issues in the Firefox and Thunderbird 1.0.5 releases and we would like some help from our testing community.

Things to look for in these builds:

*Extensions that interact with web content and events - test on a wide variety of content types

*For Thunderbird, please test the Enigmail Extension

*Test extensions that you normally use to make sure that they function properly

Please post any issues that you find to this blog. Thanks!
