Where in the source does mozilla handle the user pressing the tab key to
go to the next link on the page?

Moz .9.9 Lost tabbed browsing? Help?

[Richard]

Hello,

I uninstalled .9.8 and loaded .9.9 tabbed browsing function is now 
"messed" up
If I go to the preferences an uncheck the boxes for tabbed browsing a 
single tab appears in the navigator, no addittional tabs appear. If I 
check the boxes, the single tab disappears altogether.

Behaviour is same in modern or classic theme.  Help?

Mozilla not relocating properly.....

[Richard Kuryk]

I just noticed recently that I am getting a 302 found error and it 
displays the lines below.  This page runs fine in IE.  At first I 
thought it was my coldfusion code but now I think it is a mozilla thing. 
  I do think this was working before and just recently broke.  I am 
running mozilla 0.9.3.  Anyone have anythoughts?  If no thoughts, I am 
just going to try and reinstall.

Thanks

mouseover problems in moz 0.9.7 win32....

[Richard Kuryk]

I have been running 0.9.7 since it came out and just recently it has 
started acting up.  When I mouseover a link it usually shows the URL in 
the status bar at the bottom of the page, now when I do that it only 
flashes it and replaces it with "Document: Done".  This isn't the only 
mouse over problems, this same thing hold true for all my drop down 
menus in mozilla.  The Blue indicator only stays highlighted for about a 
  sec and then doesn't indicate the highlighted menu item anymore.  I 
know of others who have experienced the same effect.  Does anyone know 
how to correct this short of deleting my user profile?

Thanks

Rich

full screen toolbar.....

[Richard Kuryk]

Is it possible to setup mozilla to use the full screen toolbar in the 
normal windowed mode?  I love the new fullscreen bar, it is very compact 
and looks much better then the bigger version plus will save some real 
estate.  If not I really hope they are looking into letting you select it.

Thanks,

Rich

Connection Refused Messages

[Richard James]

Vith NS6 I get "Connection refused" messages when accessing some sites 
(some *every* time I change a page on the site, others intermittently).

I do not get these "Alert" messages on these sites using NS 4.76.

The messages give no information why or where it was refused.

I've looked on the NS Web site for info... don't fine any...

Any suggestions? (connection is cable modem thru a linux firewall, 
workstation is a NT4 machine [also happens from a W2K machine on the same 
system]).

It's no use. Mosel has already told us that Netscape has "ruined his life". Poor Mosel
should just be ignored, and perhaps pitied. He has become one of the late Spiro Agnew's
"Nattering Nabobs", with nothing positive to offer.

I checked the settings when the page in question is loaded, everything

except FIPS which does not seem appropriate for the sites I have problems 
with.

I also checked cookie manager and told it to accept all cookies from this 
site, even though it was not listed as refuse (nothing was...)

No change, I still get the useless warning messages that I have to get

Java in 0.8: how?

[Richard Kreckel]

I just installed release 0.8 using the installer on my Linux box.  When
I access
some Java page I get the message to download it.  I click ok a couple of
times
and then it downloads and installs right into the directory where
Mozilla is
installed.  Next time I hit a Java page the procedure repeats.  It
replaces the
old Java stuff but I could never get it to work, though.  Yes, I do have
a dir
/usr/local/mozilla_i386/plugins/java2/ filled with stuff.  What do I
have to do
to make it work?  Am I missing something?

how to get moz9.2 to see the applications mime entrys

Hello...
I have tried to get music to play using the copied over 4.77 plug-in
folder to moz9.2 plugins folder. I also added 2 mime types in the apps
entry's. audio/midi, audio/x-midi.
using Plugin as app same as the identical entry's in 4.77. No luck. I
get unknown file ext error on page load. On a note a msmedia player page
loads the player, plays the click sound but no music. Can moz9.2 use
plugins yet?

Change of behavior with sub menus on the personal toolbar

[Richard Munn]

I have most of my commonly used bookmarks set up in sub folders by topic 
within my personal toolbar folder.  This gives the effect of dropdown 
menus, which is very handy.

In Mozilla 0.9.1 (and earlier), holding down the mouse button over one 
of these sub folders on my toolbar popped up the menu, which stayed open 
until the mouse button was released (with the action of opening the 
bookmark the mouse was over).

In 0.9.2 if you hold the mouse button, mozilla tries to drag the toolbar 
folder instead.

I can still access the items by using a windows style click and release 
method rather than a click and hold, but if feels inconsistant to have 
to use that method to access the toolbar items.

view source on mozilla 0.9.2

[Richard Kuryk]

I am a web developer and I really love the new mozilla but I have 
noticed when you click to view source it downloads the page from the 
server rather than the page you are looking at.  Probably most times 
this is okay but much of the web today is dynamic and isn't always the 
same source you are looking at.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Is this 
a bug?

Trying again with "Reply ALL" instead of "Reply".

The 0.9.3 browser doesn't work with my bank's internet banking site. 
They say they have written the HTML generating in their cgi scripts to 
work with I.E. and Netscape, but only Netscape 4.76 displays their forms 
  correctly (well I.E. would work but I only have Linux on my system).
What it does is in the bill paying form, where there is a default amount 
in the form field for the amount to pay on the bill of 0.00, it displays 
this above the form field instead of in it.  I will try to capture the 
HTML for this form next time I log in there and send it.  Perhaps I 
could suggest to their support people what needs to be changed in their 
HTML to make it work properly.

yet when I actually type an amount into the field, this amount gets 
displayed in the field.

I'm not a developer, so this is just my opinion.  I like having the 
mail, news, and browser together.   Often I get mail with html links in 
it that i'd like to check out.  Some newsgroups have URL's too 
sometimes.  Some of the other email clients I find not so easy to 
understand or they aren't GUI clients, and I know of very few of them 
that you can click on a link and start a browser.  I'm using Linux by 
the way.  Yes there are other programs for various functions, like XMMS 
to play MP3 files for example, that don't neccessarily have to be 
integrated with the browser, but some of them, like XMMS, can be made to 
work from the browser if you want them to. Linux does have many email 
clients, newsreaders, and even other browsers to choose from, but I like 
having one program that handles most of what I do on the internet each 
day.

These are not the fonts you should look for.  If it's working, you'll see
font names that are capitalized: like Microsoft-verdana-iso8859-1.

Infinite loop detected... again !

[Jean-Denis Richard]

Hi!

Mozilla 0.7 still comes with the "Infinite loop detected" bug,
apparently for people having a proxy/firewall (ie people at
work).

SCENARIO:
A- click a link
B- "Infinite loop detected" !
C- press BACK button
D- click again on the link
E- it works ! (sometimes not, do C and D until it does...)

This bug is almost 1 year old and happens very often (can't
browse more than 5 minutes...)

Does anyone knows when this bug will be fixed and if there
are any workaround.

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010109

I can't post any URL since it happens nearly all the time. For example,
I've just used Mozilla to see your answers via Deja.com and each time
I was clicking on a link (=an answer) I got the infinite loop. Going
back and clicking again made the thing work fine.
Something new with latest build (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0;
en-US; m18) Gecko/20010117 : now Mozilla forgets my user/proxy passwd
when I have this infinite loop detected.

Maybe it could help to get the proxy server manufacturer/version.
I don't know how to retrieve this information. Do you know commands
that could be sent to the proxy manually (telnet) ?

Since the RPM isn't going to work with Mozilla in any case, I would first
uninstall it.

Then you may have to repair any damage done to the installation of Java and
Flash.

If you want to try RealPlayer, get the archive file.

You will have to install it manually in Mozilla and I can't get it to work.

Well this is starting to look seriously weird.

My directory is:

-rwxr-xr-x1 root root   947992 Mar 29 04:03 libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   60 Mar 29 04:03 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> 
/usr/java/jre1.3.0_02/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxrwxr-x1 root root38499 Mar 26 16:05 libnullplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   48 Mar 29 04:16 nppdf.so -> 
/usr/local/Acrobat4/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so
-rw-r--r--1 root root 4139 Mar 29 04:03 raclass.zip
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   30 Mar 29 04:16 rpnp.so -> 
/usr/local/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so
-rw-r--r--1 root root 2363 Mar 29 04:03 ShockwaveFlash.class

So, I don't see what the problem is.  Java and Flash work for me.
