Re: Having nightly trouble? Try deleting XUL.mfl

well, after all that trouble, the bug should be fixed by tommorrow's

 checkbox makes it so XUL.mfl isn't created any more, and you loose 
 the speed benefits it has.

 If you have other Drives in use rerun the above command with all 
 the drives you can access from your PC ( dir D:\XUL.mfl /s /a   )
 if it's there you'll find it ;-)

 Hi, ever since the october 24 catastrophe builds, it seems

 I have seen A) middle click in message doesn't work

 Fixed by deleting your XUL.mfl file.  This file is regenerated 
 when you start mozilla again.

 If you are having a similar regression, try deleting your 
 XUL.mfl file and reporting the results here.

 There is no such file in my profile with this morning's nightly

 It's not there. If it was anywhere on my system my Windows 
 FIND/SEARCH function would find it. And it's attribute is not :s or

 Just downloaded the later of today's builds and the file is now there.

Re: Java Plugin wont install on Mozilla 0.9.5 / Windows 2000.

I have been able to work around the plugin copying procedure by adding 
this to my user.js file:
user_pref(plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan,true);
you can create a user.js file in the same directory as your bookmarks 
and prefs.js.  It is a plain text file.

Same issues with 6.2 and previous versions.

Themes configured in 6.x will usually not work in Mozilla and 
vice/versa. Also, if you configure reply at the bottom in one, it 
changes to TOP in the other when you restart. Other issues as well.

I dont understand this though. All pref changes in one are honoured by

 Look at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97222.  They're

 And according to the CNET article, "

Oh really? then why does the W3C validator throw up this for www.msn.com?:

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML 
parser.

Fatal Error: no document type declaration; will parse without validation

I could not parse this document, because it uses a public identifier 
that is not in my catalog.

You should make the first line of your HTML document a DOCTYPE 
declaration, for example, for a typical HTML 4.01 document:


 said Bob Visse, the director of MSN marketing, referring to the World 
 Wide Web Consortium, which is developing industry standards for Web 
 technologies. "For browsers that we know don't support those standards 
 or that we can't insure will get a great experience for the customer, we 
 do serve up a page that suggests that they upgrade to an IE browser that 
 does support the" standards
 
 So, by their logic, MSIE should be banned too, eh?  Netscape 4.x would 
 too, but Mozilla really shouldn't...
 
 






Re: Cookie woes

Dan Hartung wrote:

 I'm about ready to tear my hair out on this one. Since 0.9.3 I've had 
 horrible trouble with cookies that just seem to disappear, or that aren't 
 recognized by the website when I return (even when I spot-check 
 cookies.txt in advance). It started with Blogger, and I reported a bug, 
 but that eventually went away after removing all cookies at that domain. 
 But now it's everywhere.
 
 Obviously it's very frustrating when every website I visit, from simple 
 weblog/boards like Metafilter to e-commerce like Amazon, tell me I'm not 
 logged in. Well, not *every*, just over the course of a few days almost 
 every site will log me out at some point, no matter how long the cookie 
 is set to last -- and most of them are supposedly permanent.
 
 (I'm reluctant to bugzilla this because I haven't had good luck 
 identifying bugs; the Blogger one, which seems to be similar, is still in 
 there but resolved now that I fixed it. The other one I reported turned 
 out to be reported ages ago using entirely different keywords.)
 
 Am I alone here? 0.9.5 seemed to be much better the first few days, but 
 as time goes on the same problem has manifested. The only saving grace is 
 that the password manager *always* unfailingly remembers my info, so I 
 can log back in, but it's still a damned nuisance.
 
 I've tried recreating the cookie file. I've migrated my profile. What 
 else can I do? Or am I really not alone here?


You're not alone.  This happens every time I use Sourceforge, but doesn't
happen when I use my.yahoo.com.  I think it might be related to using https
and cookies.

It seemed to work fine with Netscape 6.1.

My system is win2k, release version of 0.9.5 - whatever debugging I can do

The pref system does not save prefs when they match the default, so for every

stick if they differ from *both* of them. Otherwise as you switch back and

last for that session since the user.js setting will win at

3) remove the offending prefs from the *-ns.js default files.

Mail/newsgroup reader background colour hack

2001-10-30 Thread Ken

I would normally post this in the Netscape 6 newsgroup, but I'm looking for an internal
adjustment to the UI to change the Netscape 6.2 mail manager background colour to an 
RGB hex
code of my choice as I find the bright white far too harsh on the eyes.

Could someone advise me how to set the background colour for the Netscape Messenger 
program
windows? I find the bright white too
bright. I have set the TEXT AND BACKGROUND colours so that it uses light grey and have 
checked
the USE SYSTEM COLOURS option box in PREFERENCES.

While this successfully changes the NS 6.2 Navigator program window to light grey, in 
NS 6.2
Messenger only the message display window is in light grey. The folder pane and the 
message
header pane is still bright white. Can these be overriden for their background colour 
as well?
I'm hoping some deep hack in the UI files for the browser skin can do the trick. The 
problem is,
I don't know where to find the UI file that contains the colour code for the 
background colour
in the mail manager.

If there's another Mozilla newsgroup that would be more useful to post this message 
on, please
advise.


Thanks for any help.

Hiding my profiles from Netscape

2001-10-30 Thread Mac Burner

Hi there,
 I have built a Mozilla browser on Win98 with its own custom buttons
and toolbars.  However, when I install Netscape 6, it loads with my
custom settings.  I have concluded this is because Netscape is reading
the same Profiles folder (possibly the C:\Windows\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles) that my custom browser reads from/writes to.

   So my question is, if that is in fact the reason, how can I change my
custom build so that settings will be stored in a place where Netscape
will not try to read?  I assume this means changing some constant named
Mozilla to something more obscure.  Would this work?  Where could I do
this?

Thanks, Dave Alvarado

work with a good amount of reliability.  It doesn't, it crashes, it 
takes your OS with it sometimes, yet no one says Forget this, I'm going 
to Netscape 6, but twice a week in these newsgroups people say Forget 
this, I'm going back to IE.  Why is it more excusable for a finished 
product to be unstable but people complain that something unfinished 
doesn't work right occasionally?

Re: Hiding my profiles from Netscape

2001-10-30 Thread Malodushnikh

In truth, the Profile mechanism needs to be extended to isolate profiles 
created in different Mozilla derivatives from each other. This will 
prevent Mozilla and Netscape from using each other's profiles, also, 
which always causes trouble.

 Hi there,
  I have built a Mozilla browser on Win98 with its own custom buttons
 and toolbars.  However, when I install Netscape 6, it loads with my
 custom settings.  I have concluded this is because Netscape is reading
 the same Profiles folder (possibly the C:\Windows\Application
 Data\Mozilla\Profiles) that my custom browser reads from/writes to.
 
So my question is, if that is in fact the reason, how can I change my
 custom build so that settings will be stored in a place where Netscape
 will not try to read?  I assume this means changing some constant named
 Mozilla to something more obscure.  Would this work?  Where could I do
 this?
 
 Thanks, Dave Alvarado






Re: Mail/newsgroup reader background colour hack

Never mind my previous posting on this issue. I know now how to alter the colours to 
my 
requirements.

 I would normally post this in the Netscape 6 newsgroup, but I'm looking for an

 adjustment to the UI to change the Netscape 6.2 mail manager background colour to an

 code of my choice as I find the bright white far too harsh on the eyes.
 
 Could someone advise me how to set the background colour for the Netscape Messenger 
program
 windows? I find the bright white too
 bright. I have set the TEXT AND BACKGROUND colours so that it uses light grey and 
have checked
 the USE SYSTEM COLOURS option box in PREFERENCES.
 
 While this successfully changes the NS 6.2 Navigator program window to light grey, 
in NS 6.2
 Messenger only the message display window is in light grey. The folder pane and the 
message
 header pane is still bright white. Can these be overriden for their background 
colour as well?
 I'm hoping some deep hack in the UI files for the browser skin can do the trick. The 
problem is,
 I don't know where to find the UI file that contains the colour code for the 
background colour
 in the mail manager.
 
 If there's another Mozilla newsgroup that would be more useful to post this message 
on, please
 advise.
 
 
 Thanks for any help.

Netscape 4.7 keeps taking over!

2001-10-30 Thread Erik Harris

Since Mozilla (as of 0.95) still can't handle all of the web sites I throw at
it, I keep Netscape 4.7 around as a secondary browser.  Is there any way I
can prevent Netscape from taking over as my primary browser?  It doesn't come
up with the Netscape is no longer the primary browser, do you wanna change
that? type dialog that I often see on other computers with two browsers, and
I don't see anything in the options (I'm probably just missing something).
And if I tell Mozilla to keep itself as the main browser, it tosses its
screwed up registry settings back in, which causes its own host of problems
(see bug 89534).

Whenever I load up Netscape, after that, if I click on a link in my email
client (Eudora Pro), Netscape loads up.  Only immediately after installing
each version of Mozilla (before loading Netscape for the first time) does
Eudora try to use Mozilla for its URL's.  Am I simply missing an option
somewhere in Netscape's settings?

Thanks

Modify the width of vertical scrollbar for TestGtkEmbed?

2001-10-30 Thread Dave Chen

For Netscape, we can configure Netscape*.vscroll.width: 10 in
.Xdefault to setup the vertical scrollbar's width of Netscape
Window. But this doesn't work for Mozilla.

Does anybody have any idea for this option? I want a wider
scrollbar.
