I can see how people get into this sort of thing - it's so seductive. Episode 2 screened yesterday and I'm already hitting up Teh Gootube for my fix. I am truly lost.

Episode 2 screened yesterday and I’m already hitting up Teh Gootube for my fix.

I am truly lost.

Wed, 11 Oct 2006 13:33:18 +0000 http://lair.fierydragon.org/2006/10/in-with-the-new/#comment-688 I'll go with the living-vicariously thing. Installing sinhala-gnu-linux was pretty much the height of geekish adventurousness my old bones can take these days. I'm trying to resist the temptation to watch the Lost episode on the Toob. I'm positive I've got a torrent downloading someplace... now where was it? I'm on reruns of the second season right now and the Lost itch thereby being scratched, in no particular hurry to get to the third. Besides, must steel oneself against the mid-season dry patch.

Of course, using this with a new profile is a good precaution. No installation, no upgrade. However, I don't think you can run both 1.5.0.7 and 2.0 RC2 at the same time.

I'm looking at this thread with old-man horror at all this allegated "shininess". My 1.5.0.7 is beautiful and worky and I want it to stay that way. This is what dying must be like.

I'm now looking for other new-to-2.0 values in the config :) Er. Assuming you meant what I think you meant - you may need GM 0.6.6 (it should be in CVS if it hasn't been released yet). GM is one of those picky beasties which need a proper profile and a proper set of config values and so on to work. I'm not unhappy that I haven't installed it, actually. If you meant something else, Firefox probably doesn't do that in version 2.0. You may need to wait for someone to build you a special community edition :) Use the QF agent to report the sites it's crashing on, please. Bugzilla is littered with reports like this, so it's not just you. Although, I wonder. Gecko didn't get a major update so it can't be the renderer. Can it? Yes, yes, I am an options junkie.

Tools -> Options -> When Firefox Starts Up -> select "Show my windows and tabs from last time" Seemed to work for me. RC2 hasn't crashed yet and I got all my tabs restored when I started up after installing extensions... not running any sort of session saver plugin. I agree about the shinyness though - it's more metallic, sorta like an old skool OSX. Still, it <i>feels</i> faster. I turned the spell chucker off :) Err.
