We're well aware that the update system we had in place for Firefox 1.0 was sub-par and a major focus for the upcoming 1.1 release has been building a world-class update system that "just works" for our users.

Accomplishing this work is no small feat and we learned a lot from our experiences with the 1.0.x releases. The new system will be much more robust and capable on both the client side and the server side. From the client end, we've got a much improved user experience that should take away pretty much all of the pain of updating Firefox 1.1 for both minor versions and major versions. On the server side, we've increased our capacity and will have the capability to serve "patch" updates which should make things easier for everyone.

This new system will also provide benefits for our testing community. If all (or even most) goes according to plan, nightly build users will be able to get the latest nightly bits through the same update mechanism which will make testing nightly builds a bit more convenient and, more importantly, will help us get a lot more testing on the update system itself. This nightly updating system should be in place within the next few days and will be available to our 1.1 Alpha 2 users (preffed off by default). 1.1 Alpha 2 is just the first testing stage, though, and the 1.1 Beta is where we'll introduce the full set of capabilities (including patching) to the testing community.

I'm super-excited about these improvements and will do my best to keep you all up to date on our progress and the opportunities for early testing. Stay tuned.

что вы делаете с машинами, что у вас такие глюки с Firefox ?

А про глюки при поиске сказать ничего не могу, поскольку за полгода использования ФФ не наблюдал их ни разу.
