1.0.4? Mine was a bit flaky when I upgraded a few days ago. If your old version is still around, try uninstalling all your extensions, especially AdBlock. Check your proxy settings. Zap your cache. Double check your preferences. After a few burps and hiccups my upgrade is working fine. I had to fetch new extensions to get things back to normal. Good luck.
