I updated to GTK 2.8 and Firefox 1.5rc2 (from 1.0.7) in one swoop here. i386, remote X11 display. * It picked up perfectly my existing configuration, bookmarks, cookies, history, etc. * Browsing works just fine. I don't use any extensions or Java. No changes, really. * I haven't really noticed any increase in rendering speed. Maybe for crappy pages like tv.com. * Little annoyances are unchanged: the pause before the "Go" menu opens, selection problems in the drop-down history. * There is one MAJOR improvement, but it concerns a marginal case. If you view pages with many and/or large inline pictures, the X11 server will no longer allocate astonishing amounts of memory, including some temporary leakage while Firefox is running. Dunno if that's a fix in Firefox or GTK. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
