  1. Wish they'd fix bug 270553 (E4X - DOM) by Nicolas+MONNET · · Score: 1, Troll

    Kind of makes E4X useless for extension writing goodness.

    Here's the URL (no link since they block /. referrers)

    In true slashdot fashion, when speaking of firefox, please mention the number of times this update has been downloaded thus far to give us some idea of Firefox's market share. As we all know, browser share is measured by downloads of the client.

      Or I could just save time and use browsers that don't pose the risk of deleting all of my bookmarks just because I decided to upgrade, like IE. (okay, they're called favorites, but it's the same principle)

      I'm not sure why I should have to risk having all of the bookmarks I've acquired over the years get deleted just because YAY! newest version of Firefox released!
