well, since it's still in beta, I would suggest keeping your versions separate - not all patches are an "upgrade" as we saw with BF2

maybe get it in two weeks then when most of the important glitches have been ironed out.

had a play with Deer Park Alpha 2 the other day, was pretty sweet
just a couple of problems, no tab scrolling with mouse wheel (tabmix doesnt work with deer park yet)
feels wrong to install tabmix when all i want from it was scrolling tabs and marking unread tabs
deer park does everything else tabmix can natively now

Because I hadn't installed it yet I have now installed 1.0.6 both at home and at work, after backing up 1.0.4 so I can restore back if I need to.

So far I've not noticed any extensions not working entirely, but I've not fully tested all the ones I have loaded yet.

1.0.6 seems slightly quicker when first opening it, and although it may just be me, it looks like it's rendering pages quicker too.
