1.06 is not a security fix ... rather a bug fix.
They changed some API's in 1.05 for the security fixes which has broken a few extensions.
One of the problems of FireFox is that they change some stuff and thus break extensions and themes for a new release

Fortunately I didn't notice any issues with the theme and two extensions I use.

Good news is that from 1.1 auto-patching will be enabled !
I'm still on 1.0.4 - going to update the "slow way" for the last time until 1.1 final is released.

I'm going to stay with 1.05 for now - 1.1 is going to be out very soon!

Well, I'm now officially REALLY P1SSED OFF with firefox.
So pissed of in fact, that I feel like seeking out an alternative browser, because ?
THE DOWNLOAD MANGER IS A PIECE OF **** !!!
Sorry, I'm INCREDIBLY angry.
I've been downloading the Fear demo since 2pm - I was 96% done when my bloody ADSL connection reaches the 24 hour point and blips off.
Firefox was unable to handle that - the download just sat there doing nothing.
It wouldn't pause, restart or do anything else.
It really is the worst part of an otherwise excellent product and what pisses me off, is that the team has had AGES to make something better.
Maybe I'll try Opera or something, I'm really dissapointed now.
Yes, I hear you say, "why don't you use another download manager"
Because I don't want to - I expect my BROWSER to perform my HTTP downloads.
