 I reinstalled my OS(win98SE) and reinstalled Mozilla 0.9.7, the

Re: How's 1.0 look?

2002-01-11 Thread Ben Ruppel (slate)

Am I the only one who doesn't want to touch print preview with a ten 
foot pole?  On my win32 nightly, the print preview is shown with some 
weird scrollbars and a black border on the top, bottom, and left, but 
not right side, which looks weird.  Also, I'm not sure how you're 
supposed to exit the print preview, but hitting back crashes mozilla.

 On track? I know what the Bugzilla dependency tree looks like, I want to
 know how it feels to you guys.



 
 feels like a few more milestones, about 3-4, maybe 5:  to give a general 
 overview from my perspective:
 
 fallouts from patches has created a Mozilla build that looks like this:
 
 
 lots of JS errors on the console in nightlies.. for outliner, Mail/news, 
 bookmarks, and others are probably creating some problems with stuff below.
 
 visually, it needs a lot of work, for example: the ones that stick out 
 for me:
 
 sidebar in mail/news content is horked, a scrollbar exists on startup in 
 folder pane, strange offscreen problems with dialogs, missing respin 
 icon in classic using tabs, security lock is not correct using tabs, 
 dynamic theme switching horks much of the XUL for dialogs, mail/news and 
 other windows until restart.. (i say bring back restart change)
 and compose message: dropdown box for sender has descriptions like:
 Newsgr... and Followu...
 
 composer: getting stuff working better and css support started to come in.
 
 performance in general: getting a lot better.
 
 plugins: people reporting problems with 0.9.7.
 
 Address book, still needs bugs fixed, and testing after migration with 
 Outliner.
 
 Bookmarks: cant figure out how to sort/insert properly, or not delete 
 when copying/moving to IE folder.. seems seperator insertion doesn't 
 know the correct index for insertion, it appears to not be the same 
 place you are trying to visually insert at.  Refresh (JS error) file 
 bookmark problem exist.
 
 print preview: good.
 
 printing: getting better, dont know how, but its got a few problems still.
 
 context dialogs, dont all work correctly with copy/paste in mail/news.
 
 Save page as: works great, still backgrounds and some css files not 
 being saved from subfolders.
 
 API's are coming around..
 
 download manager still needs to land.
 
 LDAP still needs to get in.. Simple Mapi should be in now.
 
 Page Rendering: really good.. still a few issues..
 
 Importing profiles are getting better at importing.
 
 Prefs stick finally, which is good.. and many of the UI prefs are 
 finally in, not to mention scrollbar works.
 
 Mozilla crashes a lot more.. then say the 0.9.4 - 0.9.6 milestones.
 
 ---
 
 All because of trying add as many patches as they can now before 0.9.8 
 lands, it looks like all or nothing.. but I think we will not get to 1.0 
 nearly as fast as 2 milestones.  Not cleaning fallout problems as fast
 shouldn't be overlooked.  There is alot of 0.9.8 targets that will 
 probably not make it.

Re: Button theme bug? newbie needs help.

 Hi,
 
 I'm completey new to Mozilla, so I'm not sure what to do next.
 When I installed 0.9.6 last night and opened it, the back/forward/reload and stop
 buttons were from the modern theme, yet everything else was from the classic theme.
 I've since changed the themes a few times, and it's all sorted. Just seemed to be the
 first time it opened.
 I've had a brief look on the known bugs page, and couldn't see anything.
 
 If anyone could tell me what I should do next, that'd be really helpful.

Re: Plugins?

2001-11-16 Thread Ben Ruppel (slate)

If you have JRE installed at all in your system, you can make a file 
called user.js in the same directory as your prefs.js, and add this line 
to it:
user_pref(plugin.do_JRE_Plugin_Scan,true);

Mozilla will scan for a plugin, so you don't have to re-copy the plugin 
files every time you do a new install.

 There are two things that I *still* have to use the hated IE for:
 
 (1) Accessing certain secure sites, like MBNA's, which do not accept
 Mozilla for some reason, and
 (2) Accessing sites which require certain plugins.
 
 I know that (1) is (e.g.) MBNA's problem, but (2) is really starting
 to bug me. Yeah, I know being able to view movie trailers and suchlike
 is fluff, but I'd like to do it once in a while. Is there anywhere
 which gives instructions on how to install plugins for Mozilla?
 Particularly, I find the Java implementation spotty (I've installed it
 three times, and still certain sites ask to install the Java plugin),
 and have no idea how to get QuickTime to work in Mozilla.

 If you have other Drives in use rerun the above command with all

 if it's there you'll find it ;-)

 I'm pretty sure the XUL.mfl file is new to nightlies, so you

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

 Fixed by deleting your XUL.mfl file.  This file is regenerated

 If you are having a similar regression, try deleting your

 It's not there. If it was anywhere on my system my Windows

 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.
