The scenario is this: Have been running older versions of both TB and FF until today, when I decided to take the two of them out of my urpmi skip.list and allow them to upgrade finally. So, did urpmi, which did its thing, ran each once as root first (since that seemed to be critical with earlier upgrades), then attempted to run as usual. Thunderbird seems to have kept my account settings, and my folder directory even seems to show the proper counts for unread mail, etc., as I had left it before the upgrade, but nothing will show to the right ... neither a message listing nor anything in the preview pane. Similarly, the get mail button seems to do nothing now. Any ideas, other than creating a new profile and starting over? Same with Firefox ... my bookmarks are still there, and my Google toolbar is still there, but I've lost the ability to make profile changes (it warns it couldn't write to the profile and any changes would be lost upon shutting down the program). Any ideas there, again, other than starting over with the new profile? I know that upgrades have been problematic from the get-go, but was hoping they'd ironed things out a bit better by now. Oh, well. Anyway, TIA for any pointers. I've had little luck finding my way around the Mozilla forum/FAQs for this. You could delete the .slt in your ~/.phoenix/default/ directory and restart Firefox. Sometimes thats corrected some strange happenings for me. I did not lose my settings when deleteing .slt. Restart Firefox and it will create a new .slt with your old settings. May help, I don't know, I don't use the mdk rpm version. Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks, but proved not to be necessary (at least with Firefox; Thunderbird is still borked but, again, I'm migrating to Evolution, anyway, just want to have access to that old mail if I can). With Firefox, what I ended up doing was doing an import of the bookmarks from the old profile; it didn't balk at that at all. Then I simply downloaded and installed the plug-ins I wanted, as I'd likely have had to update them anyway. So, Firefox is fully functional again, and more or less in the state it was prior to the upgrade (with the exception of version changes, of course). That was relatively painless. Thunderbird is proving to be more challenging. I tried copying the mail dirs for safekeeping then a urpme followed by a urpmi, which gave me a functional copy of TB, albeit with a brand new, empty profile. Then tried moving some of the old mail dirs to the new profile, and got *some* of my mail back (Inbox and one other folder with unread mail showed up, but none of the others ... odd). I may end up just calling the old mail a lost cause, unless someone has any other ideas. I'm still trying to find info at the Mozilla-TB forum, but I tend to get lost there and find everything but what I'm looking for. :-) So, it's not in the critical category, but rather in the gee, wouldn't it be great if category now ... still important, but Thx. -- Chuck MATTSEN ...

Re: [newbie] Mozilla Thunderbird Browser
I believe that when you run Firefox, it asks if it's the default browser. (Options-General) Have it check and tell it yes. T-bird should then open it.

I think Kaj is correct because minimum font size does control display on my mozilla. John Thanks to both of you. I guess that's the best route to take. I hope I can carry my 300mb of saved mail along. I've been accumulating it since early Netscape on windows. Bob Hope this is not too late but the only way I corrected this problem was nothing to do with mozilla. I had to go deep and change my system wide fonts settings after I had updated something. I know it wasn't the usual desktop configuring but right now cannot recall exactly what it was. Whatever, once done it fixed all these font problems within mozilla for me. So I guess, 'go deep'. If in kde there is a place somewhere in kde CC to adjust fonts thought kde, but whether that will also adjust fonts in older versions of mozilla I cannot remember. Worth a try though. Incidentally , when updating your mozilla you can incorporate all your old emails, groups, filters and settings, BUT first you need to create an account in mozilla with the wizzard, then navigate to the mail folders in /home/.mozilla and just overwrite them with your old folders.

Re: [newbie] Mozilla Java plug-in probs

To answer the question you pose requires me to ask you; why? What does 1.6a have to do with the compiler version? Did you download the source code and compile Mozilla yourself using gcc32? A few more questions: You downloaded the Sun J2RE package or the J2SDK and installed it, and it works as expected everywhere except in Mozilla? Is it working in Konqueror or??? Are you sure this problem isn't just because you're running Mozilla alpha level software? You do know that 1.6 beta was released on Tuesday? Are there any java problems reported on bugzilla? http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ Since I'm running the unsupported Mozilla 1.5 from Mandrake Club I don't know what else to suggest. Mine works, yours doesn't and the only real difference seems to be the version of the browser you're running. If you find an answer I hope you'll post it here. Good luck.

Try to do a locate /usr/lib/mo*/plugins and see what comes up. My guess would be that there is some other plugins directory somewhere on the machine that is missing the requisite link. Creating the link worked immediately on my Mozilla 1.4 installation. But I did have to find the right directory. On my current machine I have a /usr/lib/mozilla, /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1, /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3 and /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 and all have plugins directories. The correct one was /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins. Or you could try installing Kaffe which, if my memory serves me correctly, is a free java virtual machine available as a Mandrake RPM. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I've never even seen my kernel, let alone compiled it, and the only time I tried to use a tarball I messed up completely - but even I can manage urpmi! It sounds scary, but it really isn't.
