Re: Moz Quick Launch Won't Stay in RAM

It looks like if you clear and re-check the quick launch button in Preferences/advanced, it at least runs quick launch. It still doesn't appear to restart when Mozilla is restarted, though. I not clear on why you're exiting quick launch in the first place -- is it when you're switching back and forth between Netscape and Mozilla? Or when you're rebooting? Or just to get it out of memory when not in use?

I like the Little Mozilla and Wood themes, and really appreciate the work that has gone into keeping them up to date. I do have two proplems with them, though: 1. With either of these themes loaded and the header view set to normal, in the main Mail/News window if I select an email in the top pane that has an attachment, or if I double click to open the mail, the header bar and attachment list is very long (vertically), which leaves very little room for the message to be previewed or viewed. It appears to be taking up the same space as the view all headers bar, but without showing the additional information. I can collapse the header bar, but I prefer to be able to see the information in it. This has not been happening with classic or modern. 2. If I'm composing an email and decide not to send it, and close the composer window, the action confirmation box includes what appear to be all of the icons associated with the theme. Just a minor cosmetic flaw. Anyone else notice these behaviors? Is there a setting I can change to make it work smoother?

Re: Simple question
JS wrote: I have a real simple question which may get an eye-roll or two, but here goes anyways: When I install a new build, I go to 'latest builds' page (I'm running WinMe) and I download the mozilla-win32-installer.exe file. This file then initiates the complete download of the new Mozilla build. Is this correct, am I downloading and installing more than I should each time? Does this process only install the updated components or am I layering complete installs on top of each other here? This is the correct procedure, AFAIK. Yes, you are downloading and reinstalling the entire application on each build, but the files from the new build replace those from the old, so the old files are (theoretically) gone. Since this means you do have to download and install the entire application for each build instead of an update, and there are occasionally problems caused by left-over files and preferences (I think) from the previously installed build, the better practice to give the new build a chance to work as expected is to uninstall the previous build first (through Control Panel/AddRemove Programs -- no uninstall on the mozilla menu). This should not affect your profile, chromes, plugins, bookmarks, etc. Also, several bulids ago I had posted here that I could not get Java applets to work correctly. I received some useful advice (i.e. copy and paste NP files, etc.) this worked on that build, since I've installed several builds since that time I've run into the same problem again with Java applets, should I repeat that step for each build? Try uninstalling and reinstalling Mozilla first, as noted above. You shouldn't have recopy the NS plugins, unless at some point you deleted the mozilla plugins directory (possibly by using some disk cleaning utility?). Sometimes, things get buggy, and it does seem easiest to uninstall mozilla, delete the entire mozilla directory under Program files, and reinstall, but then you're back to square one. Good luck

So, in effect, it's still a single-click .. :-D If your middle button is set to double-click, are you still able to use the middle button to open and close tabs, or do you have to right-click? I personally value the tab functionality more than I want single-clicking.
.wav corrupts hard drive
In the last few builds (currently running 11/08 build, same problems on others, including 0.9.5, I think), when I load a page with embedded .wav file, it's duplicating itself as a huge file in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\plugtmp E.g., the page http://www.time.com/time/time100/heroes/profile/diana01.html contains a wav file of a few seconds of Princess Diana speaking. It recreates itself in the above directory as diana.wav at 800+ MB. I'm not sure if it ever stopped or if forcing Mozilla to close stopped the download. Similar problem when loading the same page in NS6.2, but it doesn't freeze the browser and the file disappears after I close the browser. The problem does not occur in IE6. Anyone else have this problem? Is it a known bug? Is there a way to get Mozilla not to load any .wav files?
Re: .wav corrupts hard drive
Finally sorted out this problem. Beatnik is incompatible with current build (They say so in their site). I removed it and tagged Quicktime to handle those obnoxious embedded wav files. Even though I don't really want to hear them, I certainly don't wan't them to fill my hard drive.
