Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Alan Little]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/125.4.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Downloaded Firefox and started it (first installation of any Mozilla variant on this machine). Slow 
startup, much disk 
thrashing. Didn't like the disk thrashing so quit Firefox and carried on using Safari (which 
had been running the whole time). Safari forms autofill no longer works; it also stops remembering my 
chosen download directory. 
Some part of Safari's history cache overwritten by Firefox ???

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:

3.


Expected Results:  
Have no effect on other running applications

Environment: 1 GHz 12" Powerbook, 768 MB RAM, OS X 10.3.4. Running Safari 1.2.3 (v125.9) and 
Firefox 1.0 preview.

Is this still an issue with latest Firefox release?
