does this release seem a bit buggy...i cant change the look it displays the alerts even though i tell it not to....is anyone having these issues too.
i did the emerge pretend mozilla rc1 but its no longer avaiable i guess...anyway other then rebuilding from src downloaded from mozilla to go back toa previous version?

It would lock up whenever I visited a site with used the flash, shockwave plugin set, Konqueror worked fine, as did RC1.

rc2 is working great for me.

You could try temporarily moving your preferences folder ($HOME/.mozilla) run mozilla with clean preferences and see if that fixes things, then at least you'd know if it was your preferences.

I installed RC2 and now I can't open new browser windows. I can open new tabs and navigate with them just fine, so it's not a total loss. But I'm one for clutter, and prefer windows most of the time.

Anyone have any similar experiences?

I had the same on one of my computers - on the other it works just fine though.

You could try to rename your .mozilla directory, if that solves the problem it might have to do with some stupid profile management thing.

If that doesn't solve it, I have no idea.

For the time being I just reverted to RC1 which works great as well.

There is a setup at preferences/Advanced/Script & Windows thats block a new window, look at if this is your case.
