Adobe previews 64-bit Flash Player 'Square'

Hey Mike. I wasn't being sarcastic:). I genuinely don't know anything at all about YaegerMonkey code or the significance of the true or false commands.

Just tried the October 5th nightly. It's crashing still. Back on the October 1st build.

Oct 1st build working OK for me too.

but mine Oct 1st build is crashing again & again..!

Blongs fix worked and Minefield has been stable. There was another update and it's still mostly fine.
I just noticed a reluctance to close or minimize and had to close from the task bar. Oh dear......

Any sign that ANY of the MineField releases since 10/1/10 do not need BLongs' "config" settings put to "false" to avoid crashing?

Nope, the latest 4.0b8pre still needs "false", I tested at 7am this morning.

Can someone explain to me what is the perceived danger in leaving the config settings set as false permanently?

There is no "danger" but once JaegerMonkey is implemented bug-free, performance enhancements will finally be realized even more for the Javascript engine.

The "false" setting disables JaegerMonkey.

The TraceMonkey build works with JaegerMonkey enabled. Just don't update through the program - go to the TraceMonkey build link I referenced to check for the latest version.

Additionally, a poster on the Mozillazine site has compiled a new x64 installer with the fix for the JIT bug incorporated. It is a newer build than the JS Preview build as it incorporates the new spinning progress wheel on the tab.

Thanks Mike. That's a lot clearer to me now. Presumably a build is coming that will not have this problem. J:)
