Yep, that's the latest TraceMonkey build. The Latest trunk has not had the 601355 bug merged with it as of yet so, in the meantime, anyone using the latest trunk still needs to implement the {"javascript.opitions.methodjit.content" change to "False"} fix.
There is, however, a build on Mozillazine by jznomomey that incorporates the latest trunk build with the latest trace monkey build fix for the 601355 bug.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the fix is merged but jznomoney has been the only one to do it with the latest trunk, so far.
I see the next nightly is supposed to incorporate the fix, however. Good News - I hope it happens.
I also hope Mozilla changes it's tune and releases a true 64 bit official release version for Windows as, thus far, they have feigned indifference publicly.
Note: I'm only speaking of the 64 bit version (aka Minefield win64-x86)

Yesterday I started getting crashes from Flash in Minefield. I've updated since, and the issue persists. This morning the issue occurred and Minefield states it is up-to-date. Anyone else have this issue?
I'm using 64-bit Minefield with Adobe Square on Windows 7.
Hi, DaedalusIcarusX, welcome to the Seven Forums! :)
I have the same issue with the November 11th build. I fell back to the November 10th build which doesn't crash the "Square Preview" 64 bit plugin nearly as often (actually, seldom).
No new update in the nightlies past the 11th, yet.
Yup. Same issue here. If I try to run flash content on a website I get a crash message and no video. However, if I then go straight to youtube it plays fine. Curious.
Oh and welcome to the forum Daedalus
So far, the crash of the Flash plugin on FF x64 is attributed to a bug in the asynchronous layer-based plugin painting or, more precisely, a fix of that bug affecting another area of the program.
Just stick with the November 10th build (linked to above) for now. :)
Thanks for the link Mike. I've rolled back and that seems to be fine. Hope Mozilla are on the case for the next build. I've been reporting the crashes but I'm not sure anyone cares about Minefield.
I haven't heard of any plans to make an official x64 release of FF, have you?
Not yet, John. There is some talk on the MozillaZine Forums that we'll see an x64 version supported in the 4.1 FF release but not the 4.0.x release.
The fact that Mozilla is going forward with Minefield is promising, however, and, since they already have OSX and Linux x64 versions they're supporting, I think it will be sooner than later.
John, you are quite welcome for the link. :)
I'll be testing the next build when it comes out. Since they merged the JS (TraceMonkey) build with the trunk (Central) build there have been no updates of TraceMonkey to test and I'll be skipping the November 11th Central build for now.
