No the webfolders is not done... Most of the previous work on webfolders was backed out for the release. My guess is that it was going to take too much time to fully develop this and they were under a lot of pressure for 0.6... Maybe it will be ready by 0.7? As for seroius bugs, I have the build from the day before the release (yesterday) and I have not had any problems with it. I think that most of the bugs blocking 0.6 were fixed or moved. Overall, a great release.

The bug with the flash installer (using registry entries to enable scripting support to be installed) completely fucking up MozFbd beyond recognition is still there.

Nice work, although "open in tabs" for bookmarks seems to be broken in this build. Also see:

This doesn't bother me that much 'cause I've used this next to never till now, but I suppose there are a few folks out there that feel bothered be this bug..

Please take care about bug 184202 - this is the most important blocker for me and the reason why I cannot recommend Moz. Firebird to friends families etc. as it is simply a "top-crasher" (at least for me).

Same old problems with the preferences dialog 'XXBen scappy stuff still not fixed.
I would have hoped something like this would have been fixed in a milestone, a patch for it was already written, also the themes page is a bit scrappy (showing Modern theme and Mozilla) but I can lived with that.
The 0.5 release felt more polished from that perspective. I would have rather have waited a short time and have little scrappy stuff like that fixed before a big release.
Otherwise, keep up the great work.
