Same bad red lines :(
My build was made with code up-to-date at 07:00 am mozilla.org (or so)

next beta), OS-X needs an additional small build tool, pkgconfig.  This
is easy to install using fink:
  sudo apt-get install pkgconfig

Good day,
When I use firefox 1.0 on OS X 10.3.7 and I open a pdf with preview,
the pdf is saved on my desktop.  After a long browsing session, my
desktop is filled with lots of temporary files.

Helped a friend, who uses Macintosh OSX, to install Firefox 1.0. Then we
tried to install themes and extensions, it seemed to download them nicely
and showed a dialogue box where we could accept installation. But then the
