In 0.9.3 it *did* retain your settings. This is something that was
broken somewhere between 0.9.3 and 0.9.6. 

What version do you have?

I am speaking of all the latest builds.  Day after day, they have left 
the history feature buggy and a simple thing such as the sort order 
cannot be retained--a small but very annoying issue.





Theme choices, Print Preview, examples of bad underlying code?

2001-12-29 Thread jdavis

themes available for this browser and what's so hard about fixing print 
preview, and fixing the sorting of History (retaining it), and maybe 
whether it points to Mozilla being poorly written code that is hard to 
fix without causing other problems.  Also, why does it take like 30 
seconds to a minute to load any Java stuff on most pages?  And why is it 
when I scroll down a page like the Wall Street Journal, that it takes a 
full second pause between each screen as I am paging downward or upward? 
 www.wsj.com (need to be subscriber) I cannot offhand think of another 
website that behaves like that but there are plenty.  Why has my 
Realplayer worked on certain pages before, but no longer works despite 
the fact that I've left the plugins folder untouched as I keep trying 
the new builds?
I try most every build as they come down the pike and these issues 
stay the same.
Anyone else getting annoyed by problems like this?





Re: History Window: change of view not saved

OK, I've looked on Google and Bugzilla for this one, too, and
didn't find anything. I'm using 0.9.6 on Win95 OSR2. 

When I open the History window (having it take over part of the
browser window is an IE-copycat abomination, of course), and change
the view (I hate the IE-derived Grouped view), in Mozilla 0.9.3,
this would be saved so that the next time I opened the history
window, it would have the same layout as I left it in. But it
always opens to the stupid grouped view (which I hate). 

And when I do get to the ungrouped view (a tabular view, like the
Windows Explorer Details view), and try to sort, it takes 3 clicks
of the LAST VISITED header to get it sorted right. The first click
does nothing noticeable, other than changing the top item in the
list to the very last page visited (and the /\ triangle
disappears). The second click sorts in date ascending order (i.e.,
earliest at top of list) and the third click finally gets me to
last at top. 

Something seems to be wrong with the updating of the grid.

When I then click the Last Visited header again, it changes the
first item to the last item (i.e., the earliest) but leaves
everything else the same. In other words, it cycles through almost
the same set of 3 views described above (only two of which have any
use). 

I suspect something is screwed up here with the basic widget, but
couldn't figure out what to look for in the bug lists. 

Can anyone else reproduce this?

The problem with the loss of your view settings was definitely
*not* there in 0.9.3, though I can't say for sure if the sorting
problem was there or not, as once I had it sorted correctly, the
setting remained and I may never have noticed it. 

It's pretty annoying, in general.

I totally agree, the history function has been totally ignored.  I agree 
with everything you've said.  I would be happy if once I got the history 
window in the ungrouped view and I sort it in the order of last 
visited, I could come back later on after closing that window and

Wow this page really kills Mozilla fast!

2001-11-25 Thread jdavis

Immediately the browser pretty much freezes though the page continues to 
load and finishes loading, but no interaction is possible after.

This is an important page to me... can anyone take a look?

 99% CPU usage and when I right clicked on the flash mozilla locked up 
 and I had to end the task in windows 2k.  Build 2001112303
 
 Anyone filed a bug on it yet?
 

Okay, to follow up on my original post, I am using the Java 1.3.0_01 
plugin and running W2K.  Is that the latest version of Java?  I have 
tried this on both the 11/23 and 11/24 builds and had the same horrid 
freezing up from the beginning of the loading.  Since I haven't visited 
the Abit website for some months, I can't say how other builds were 
working without redownloading some of them.  The loading progresses very 
slowly as compared to IE6.
I have not filed the bug yet.   





Nov 12th build seems noticeably faster at loading up

second to load on my system, whereas every other build was about twice 
that.  I haven't turned this into a scientific study, but I'm virtually 
positive it is quite a bit faster.  Anyone else noticing a difference?

Whoops...further testing makes me think that either my system has 
changed a bit after I removed a load of files or that it was one of the 
last 3 builds that sped up loading.





History feature isn't quite working right

2001-11-08 Thread jdavis

numeric or alphabetic order it was left in.  It keeps reverting to a 
default.  I used to love the history feature in Netscape 4.x.  It's 
almost working now in Mozilla but a little buggy still.

At ftp.mozilla.org, there's about (8) directories for Oct 25 available.
They're all names '2001-10-25-x-trunk', where
x=2,4,5,6,8,9,11,14,15,16,21. I think x = the hour that a build was
completed/uploaded. So, a build for Win32, for example, may not be in
everyone of those... 

Good luck

 One thing of note is that the Oct 24-25 builds were pretty nasty.  Oct
 26 is downright snappy, though, and highly recommended. :)
 
 

barney,

Thanks a lot!  I went back to 10/26 build and it really is very nice!  I 
think I missed this one because there were no build comments on it. 
Everything I need for now is in this one. : )

 I think you got caught by a recent bug which screws up your preferences 
 when you press Ok. Get an older build and wait for the bug to be 
 resolved. (I don't know the bug id. Search bugzilla)

Thanks a lot for your advice on both my questions!  However, I really do 
believe that the feature for Block images from this server is 
currently not functional in and of itself, but I could be wrong.

Where is Block Images from this Server?

right before the deletion of Block Images from this Server feature on 
the context menu are pretty completely hosed.  This means I cannot 
revert to a good build now (I rechecked them).  What is going on with 
the removal of this feature for this many builds now?

Does anyone see this feature anymore or know where it went for several
