FWIW, I've been one of those 'testers' for well over a year, downloading
a new talkback build every few days (depending on the bugs/fixes). I
haven't had to reconfigure much of anything with a new build in all that
time. Been carrying over my profile from one build to the next without
any problems. And I've been using mozilla full time, including
mail-news, for about 6 months. I don't think downloading every few
days, sometimes every few hours :), is asking too much at all. It was
my choice to do this, after all. It only takes a few seconds to copy my
profile to a backup folder, unzip the build, and go. Out of curiosity,
what do you have to reconfigure each time?
