Build 1 has a bug with built-in Feedback extension (testpilot): it's still compatible with 4.0b5, not 4.0b6 and doesn't work (checked on Win32). Please fix the Feedback.

I know you'll think I'm crazy, but I can't help it.  The following commit:

changeset:   53771:c14c5fe155da
user:        Nick Thomas <[e-mail]>
date:        Tue Sep 14 16:57:00 2010 +1200
summary:     Bug 592782 - Bump nightly version to 4.0b7pre.  r=lsblakk a=releng
is causing (32-bit/i686) linux firefox to crash on startup.

I've submitted crash reports to prove it:
bp-37ef89e8-5506-4b52-bd80-ab6352100916
bp-7203d203-1125-41c5-8e47-bf9572100916
bp-1102b957-49a9-47b4-b7b6-bf1bf2100915

I get the same crash with my own builds as the ones I download from mozilla.org.  My 64-bit linux machine is not affected by this problem.
(I haven't tested the Windows builds.)

I applied (-R) the patch from "hg log -p -r 53771" to today's hg repo
($hg summary
parent: 54194:e36e9e20741f tip)
and the resulting firefox is what I'm using to submit this comment.

Today's build without reverting the patch crashes as before.

I'm stumped.  I hope you're not.

You're not crazy. The version change landed as part of a bundle of other fixes
 http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=5db0f41b7a8a&tochange=c14c5fe155da
Have a look in that list for the real culprit.

Maybe not crazy, but definitely confused :)  Just to clarify, the exact patch I applied (-R) is pasted below.  It changes no code whatever, just changes a few text files to reflect a higher version number.

Do the numbers in those text files actually determine what source code gets compiled and/or gets executed at startup?

Thanks for your time and patience.

Oh hmm, I missed that. If you can reproduce in a new profile then I'd file it against Core::Javascript.

Happily, someone has already fixed it.  Nightlies are no longer crashing.
Thanks.
