The Firefox developers. To be fair, they made that decision for Firefox
only. When SeaMonkey made the switch to the common back-end (Toolkit)
this is what we got. The old form manager would have had to be
reimplemented in the new environment but obviously that didn't happen.
Even if someone stepped up to do the work now I don't know whether the
old form manager behavior would be accepted for inclusion in newer
SeaMonkey versions. Unless someone tries I guess it won't ever happen.
But of course there's always the possibility that someone develops an
extension that implements something similar.

Greetings,

Jens

Odds are the developer in charge of it at FireFox said to him self , 
people don't use this anyway do we even need it.
You could acquire the code for the Forms history extension and included 
it already built in as you do  ChatZilla, JavaScript Debugger, and DOM 
inspector. If you don't want to be bothered with actually developing one.

Whether or not you disagree with the decision is completely separate.
You presumed to know *why* grippies are not there.


I type in Grippies and there was showing least at 121 instances as far
back as 2006 on the subject. Its possible there are more under different
spellings and this just indicates number of times the subject came up
not the number of threads for each time. Other Possible spelling are
Grippies, grippies, gripies, Gripies, Griplets, Griplets, Griplets, and
so on. Based on subjects and threads in those subject I wouldn't be
surprised if there wasn't actually a 1000 post or more on the subject.

And it only goes back as far as 2006 there was likely post about before
then.


That's not my problem. You made the claim; it's your responsibility to
back it up. It's called a bibliography. If you're having trouble
narrowing your search, how about grippies gone or some variation of
that. The netscape.public.mozilla.* newsgroups have been archived since
around the year 2000 or before. If you cannot find instances in the time
you claim the mass outrage existed, that's a sign that you're wrong.

It's natural if you're upset about a change and find someone (maybe two)
who agree with you, to remember it as mass outrage.


I found at least 121 entries for the subject. going back to 2006 as I
said That was just using on particular spelling. I don't believe use

Again, that's beside the point. Don't claim short shrift, when that's

Starting with SeaMonkey 2 the location bar autocompletes against the

just like in Firefox. The location bar history (what you actually typed) 
is only used for the drop-down that can be opened using the marker at 
the right end of the location bar.

the user-agent string), you will see that *I am a Mac user* . In fact, I 
have been for years.



 As Phil Chee said it was left off because
of Apple's human interface guideline. which indicates that PC, UNIX, and
Linux versions have it. There have been other items over the years left
out over the years.


Why? You claimed that it is because of lack of consideration for the Mac 
platform. Paying attention to Apple's HIG is the opposite of lack of 
consideration.



But this short Shrift thing is not just related to Mozilla only, It is
throughout Most Software. example in MS products Office 2003/7 have more
features than office2004/8 for Mac. Adobe Acrobat for PC has many more
Features than it Mac Counterpart despite getting it start on the Mac


It doesn't matter if you believe that, you still should not assume that 
is the reason why grippies are not in the default theme on Mac. That's 
prejudice. And remember that you were wrong.

I will clearly state that I am not a computer whiz...thus, I have a
number of concerns regarding SeaMonkey 2.0 installation on my system.

I have been reading the many SeaMonkey 2.0 messages on this newsgroup
with some concern about my ability to fix the problems that could occur
with the installation of 2.0.  It seems that the move from 1.1.18 to 
2.0 is not happening without a number of glitches along the way.  
Thus, in light of what I have read, I am wondering if it would wise 
for me to wait for a future release of SeaMonkey before upgrading my 
system...I suppose I am hoping that some changes will be incorporated 
into a future upgrade, that would make the move go more smoothly.  Any 
comments would be appreciated.


Also, a list of actions to take, or not to take, during the
installation of 2.0 would also be very helpful...just in case I get
brave enough to proceed with the 2.0 installation.

Note:

Windows XP Pro SP3

I have always allowed previous SeaMonkey installations to be loaded
using default locations.  I suppose that I do have concerns about what
happens to the plug I have downloaded.

I only have one profile on my system.



Frog

There are a few add ons that won't work.
The two that I know of are:
Tabbrowser Extension and Extension Mgr

Mike C


First, I think it would be more fair to say that few add-ons are yet 
available for SM 2.0. I think this is quite normal, give some time to 
the authors to do the necessary changes for those add ons which remain 
relevant and to create new ones specifically designed for SM 2.0


second, I think it is always advisable to wait some time before changing 
versions. SM 2.0 is not an upgrade. So, if you are not to comfortable 
with this, waiting for an update of SM 2.0 might be wise.


On the other hand, problems which might occur moving from your previous 
version to SM 2.0 are likely to occur too while moving to an updated 
version, since I believe a good part of them are related to the import 
of profile. This was my case, the installer was not able to import my 
profile (probably because it slowly evolved from the Netscape days) and 
this was actually an opportunity to do some house cleaning by starting 
afresh.


Among the things you can do to protect yourself which do not require 
much expertise, I would suggest: zipping up your *whole* profile and 
seamonkey directories after setting your zip program so that *it records 
the paths* of files and storing the zipped files in a safe place.


If something goes very wrong when you install the new version, then it 
is only a matter of uninstalling it, deleting the profile folder and the 
program folder, and restoring where they belong the original profile and 
program folders by unzipping the zipped files. No need to mess with the 
registry.


There are many other ways to proceed, but this one does not require any 
program you do not have on your machine and nor a lot of expertise. 
Whichever way you choose, do not rely on trusting default locations. I 
believe it is indispensible to make note of what they are before doing 
anything.


Just my two cents ...

I for one am glad it is not in SM2 as I never did use it. A program can
not please everyone. Perhaps you can volunteer or donate for someone to
put forth an effort to fix what you seem to find the Form Management so
vital that you can not use SM2 without it.

I think you miss the point, it was in, it worked, someone took the 
time to
remove it. No amount of volunteer will put it back in, because someone 
wanted it

out.



I used Forms manager at least once a week. What was good about it , was 
you could pre fill in information so that when a page form asked for it 
showed up. Obviously the people that take out stuff , don't use it and 
taking it out, not realizing many people almost depend upon it. But 
because they don't use it they find it necessary. That what happens when 
the developers, don't pay attention users or customers.

 I for one am glad it is not in SM2 as I never did use it. A program can
 not please everyone. Perhaps you can volunteer or donate for someone to
 put forth an effort to fix what you seem to find the Form Management so
 vital that you can not use SM2 without it.

 I think you miss the point, it was in, it worked, someone took the
 time to
 remove it. No amount of volunteer will put it back in, because
 someone wanted it
 out.

 I used Forms manager at least once a week. What was good about it ,
 was you could pre fill in information so that when a page form asked
 for it showed up. Obviously the people that take out stuff , don't use
 it and taking it out, not realizing many people almost depend upon it.
 But because they don't use it they find it necessary. That what
 happens when the developers, don't pay attention users or customers.
 
 I could not have said it better! :-)


You're missing the point on this whole issue I think. Seamonkey2.0 moved
to the new toolkit backend. The old Form-Manager could _not_ be kept
that way, it needs a rewrite. As noone was there to maintain that code
and noone implemented a new solution there is none (or at least not the
way it used to be).

I don't think so since it does complete if I only enter the first
letter.  ie if I have two users starting with 'e' and I enter 'e' a drop
down box appears with both users that start with 'e'.

In 1.x versions I didn't have to enter anything.  If I clicked on the
user entry box I received a dropdown box with ALL users no matter what
the spelling and I could click on the user I wanted.

Re: huge inbox but no messages found?

2009-11-12 Thread Daniel

Richard wrote:

Hi,

I have a client whose seamonkey v1.1.14 profile got screwed.  This 
happens as they were backing up the files to external hard drive and 
'something happened'.


While the size of their inbox and sent files are huge (1.6G and 900M), 
the corresponding MSF are tiny and it appears like there are no messages.


I can open these files and read the data so I know it is there, but they 
don't show up in Seamonkey.


Things I have tried (none worked)
- uninstalled Seamonkey v1.1.14 and installed SM 2.0, tried to point to 
profile folder
- in SM 2.0, created a new profile and copied inbox and sent files into 
the new profile, it takes time to rebuilt the index, but the msf are 
tiny (2 or 3k) and there are no messages.
- uninstalled SM 2.0 and installed SM 1.1.18 and tried everything, but 
still no messages are found.  Again, it appears like the indexes are 
being rebuilt as it takes time, but there are no messages
- tried copying the inbox/sent files to another computer with a known to 
be good installation of Seamonkey and rebuilt the indexes, same result, 
no messages
- I tried to rename the files to something else (inbox2, a_inbox) and 
then copy them and rebuilt, the folders show up, their size reports as 
the huge number expect, but there are still no messages


Other long shots that failed
- I scanned the files for virues and malware and they are clean
- I ran chkdsk on the backup external hard drive but found no problem


Richard, I've read your post and cannot really suggest much, except I am 
uncertain if you actually deleted the inbox.msf and sent.msf files??


You may be aware that your incoming email is held in a file called inbox 
with no extension. the inbox.msf file is an index file for your inbox. 
If you actually delete the index file, inbox.msf, when you then select 
your inbox in SM1.1.18, a new inbox.msf file is created. Same same for 
the sent file (which contains your sent emails)


If you haven't done it before, close SM 1.1.18, including the quick 
start icon, if you use it. Then do a Windows Find Folder and File 
looking for inbox.msf and sent.msf and if you find any, delete them, or 
at least rename them.


Now open SM 1.1.18, select your inbox and see if a new index file is 
created.it may take a while if the inbox is really 1.6GByte.


Good luck.

Once Ya' go to FF 'n' TB, Ya' may, never go back!

2009-11-12 Thread MikeyG
After using Firefox and Thunderbird a few days, now, I don't know why I 
stayed with SeaMonkey for so long; sorry, SeaMonkey enthusiasts ... and 
'specially, SeaMonkey Developers!


I appreciated 'Form Manager'; (and miss it very, much; in Firefox and 
when still, using SeaMonkey-2), and that is what really, kept me from 
switching; (I could live without Composer, and I could be content using 
Thunderbird for my Email and Newsgroups).


It appeared, to me, that SeaMonkey-2 used very, similar code as Firefox, 
and being that the 'Form Manager' was now, similar to what I remember 
Firefox's form management being like, I decided to give Firefox / 
Thunderbird a try. (I figured eventually, SeaMonkey-2 would become the 
main-stay and SeaMonkey 1.*.* would be obsoleted out.)


So, far I do not regret my decision. The only, thing I am unsure of my 
decision to switch is because there are ssooo, many, Add-Ons and Tweaks 
and customizations available for Firefox / Thunderbird that I am 
spending a lot of time playing with all of this; not a good thing for a 
'can't leave it alone', 'tweak this, tweak that' sort of user; (I just, 
can't leave well enough alone ... but it is fun!)

SOLVED: Composing in HTML For a Single Message -- 2.0

2009-11-12 Thread Arnie Goetchius
The procedure for composing in HTML for a single message (as opposed to 
all messages) appears to have changed from 1.1.x. However, the 2.0 Help 
file still refers to 1.1.x procedures as follows:


If while composing a message you realize that one or more recipients 
may not be able to receive HTML-formatted mail, you can easily convert 
the message to a different format when you click Send:


1.   In the Compose window, open the Options menu and choose Format.
2.   Select the format you want to use for sending the message from the
  submenu:

===snipped

That procedure no longer applies to 2.0 as there is no Format in the 
Options menu in 2.0. To compose in HTML for a single message, click on 
the down arrow to the right of the Compose icon. There you will be given 
the option of composing the current message in plain text or HTML

[HOW-TO] Import Passwords from Firefox/Thunderbird to SM 2.0

2009-11-12 Thread Philip Chee
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=40t=1588545

Importing Passwords from Firefox and Thunderbird the easy way.

1. In Firefox/Thunderbird, install Password Exporter 1.2 from:
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#passwordexporter
2. Export your passwords to a XML file.

3. In SeaMonkey 2.0, install Password Exporter 1.2.
4. Import your passwords from the XML file generated in Step 2.

http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#passwordexporter
--==--
Password Exporter is an extension for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird
that allows you to export and import your saved passwords and disabled
login hosts from Password Manager. The logins will be exported to an XML
(Extensible Markup Language) or CSV (Comma Separated Values) file and
can then be imported into another application or computer that has
Password Exporter installed.

Where to find it:
Firefox Options/Preferences - Security pane - Import/Export Passwords
button.
OR
SeaMonkey - Edit - Preferences - Privacy amp; Security pane -
Passwords - Import/Export Passwords button.
OR
Add-ons Manager - Preferences/Options for the extension.

I type in Grippies and there was showing least at 121 instances as far 
back as 2006 on the subject. Its possible there are more under different 
spellings and this just indicates number of times the subject came up 
not the number of threads for each time.  Other Possible spelling are 
Grippies, grippies, gripies, Gripies, Griplets, Griplets, Griplets, and 
so on. Based on subjects and threads in those subject I wouldn't be 
surprised if there wasn't actually a 1000 post or more on the subject.


And it only goes back as far as 2006 there was likely post about before 
then.

THE solution is to not add any grippies but to make the whole splitter
bars (Sidebar, Message Pane, etc.) double-clickable to automatically
collapse/expand them.
This behavior doesn't violate any Apple HIG and I think will make users
happy again.


Yes that could work. you have to make the dividing line a little

Believe me its a time save when you wan to mark a group of newspost or

the window down mark the items drag the bar back. you can never get it

I for one am glad it is not in SM2 as I never did use it. A program can

I think you miss the point, it was in, it worked, someone took the

someone wanted it

I used Forms manager at least once a week. What was good about it ,
was you could pre fill in information so that when a page form asked
for it showed up. Obviously the people that take out stuff , don't use
it and taking it out, not realizing many people almost depend upon it.
But because they don't use it they find it necessary. That what
happens when the developers, don't pay attention users or customers.


I could not have said it better! :-)



You're missing the point on this whole issue I think. Seamonkey2.0 moved
to the new toolkit backend. The old Form-Manager could _not_ be kept
that way, it needs a rewrite. As noone was there to maintain that code
and noone implemented a new solution there is none (or at least not the
way it used to be).

No we're not missing the point. You could have wrote a new one. But you 
didn't have time . The Forms history extension is sort of acceptable 
replacement. But it should not have been necessary add an extension to 
do what people have come to expect all along.


Don't try to port old code. Open up SM 1.1.8 document what it actually 
does, and write new code to provide the same service. It will be two 
years or more before 2.1 will be on the scene if you go in .01 
increments. You have enough time to add it back.


I wish you developers would open the old program document every feature 
that exist. and provide those features using new code not try to port 
the old code. design it with new windows , whatever, but put the same 
general purpose back in.


If you can't design it get in touch with the design of Forms history 
tool and buy the code and add it in.

Please read the whole thread.  I've already pointed out I have a valid

failed because in most of the cases it doesn't understand they are not 
valid.  Note in the example steps I've given the invalid 
username/password get stored without problem, too.  It is just that they 
don't get prefilled.




You've probably already tried it but...
I have several pages that don't prefill and don't prelaunch the master 
password prompt, until I type in a field. Then the master password popup 
interrupts... annoying.
On some pages, nothing prefills but double clicking in the box fills or 
offers multiple choices. Once selected, the associated password is filled.
I have had to go in and remove stored info for pages and enter again 
after, I assume, the page had been modified/updated/upgraded/etc.

 with the installation of 2.0.  It seems that the move from 1.1.18 to 2.0
 is not happening without a number of glitches along the way.  Thus, in
 light of what I have read, I am wondering if it would wise for me to
 wait for a future release of SeaMonkey before upgrading my system...I
 suppose I am hoping that some changes will be incorporated into a future
 upgrade, that would make the move go more smoothly.  Any comments would
 be appreciated.

 Also, a list of actions to take, or not to take, during the
 installation of 2.0 would also be very helpful...just in case I get
 brave enough to proceed with the 2.0 installation.

 Note:

 Windows XP Pro SP3

 I have always allowed previous SeaMonkey installations to be loaded
 using default locations.  I suppose that I do have concerns about what
 happens to the plug I have downloaded.

 I only have one profile on my system.

 Frog

Hi there. I have read recently that when installing 2.0 don't install
the the same directory as version 1.1.18 or it will disable the
application and both versions will be disabled. Install 2.0 into a
different directory or the default install settings location in the
install program. Also, It may be wise to first uninstall the earlier
version before installing 2.0 because this is what happened to me,
although my SM2.0 works properly, the earlier version of Seamonkey is
still in my computer and in my windows quicklaunch. I just keep both
versions in my computer until I find out if uninstalling the older
version will disable the newer version. The version 2.0 may not be an
upgrade but an entirely independent program.

BTW, who decided the old form manger wasn't needed/used/wanted?


The Firefox developers. To be fair, they made that decision for Firefox 
only. When SeaMonkey made the switch to the common back-end (Toolkit) 
this is what we got. The old form manager would have had to be 
reimplemented in the new environment but obviously that didn't happen. 
Even if someone stepped up to do the work now I don't know whether the 
old form manager behavior would be accepted for inclusion in newer 
SeaMonkey versions. Unless someone tries I guess it won't ever happen. 
But of course there's always the possibility that someone develops an 
extension that implements something similar.

Look, the problem is with Seamonkey when you try to copy text out of
it. Every other browser allows copy without problem. I am having the
same issue. It happened as soon as my Seamonkey 2.0 beta upgraded
itself to the release version. Also, copy was working fine in the 2.0
beta and RC2. Same firewall, same antivirus, the only thing that
changed was Seamonkey. Paste from non-Seamonkey apps into Seamonkey
works fine for me.

So, this poster claims that copy--paste worked fine in SeaMonkey 2.0
right up until the time it went GA (IBM talk meaning Generally
Available), released for production, final edition, etc. This sounds
like key info for determining the cause.


Yet RC2 and the final version are identical, so it doesn't sound like it 
came from a change in SeaMonkey (as there was none).

JAS

I also got the impression from some earlier discussion that copying IS 
one way of doing a migration, although it is not clear that it is the 
same or different from using the migration wizard.


In fact, I just did an in-place migration of a 10GB+ profile (almost 
all mail files of course) by creating a new SM 2 profile and then 
totally replacing it with the old profile and starting SM 2.  This 
seemed to do almost everything necessary except that reading News 
wouldn't work, so I just deleted all the News .msf files and let it 
re-create them.


Clearly this isn't the supported way of doing a migration but does 
work, mostly.  Obviously some thought and programming went into the case 
of SM2 wakes up and finds it has SM 1 files.

You never answered the above question. If I google short shrift, I

case, grippies were not included in the default theme on Mac /because/ 
SeaMonkey developers took the time and effort to consider Apple HIG. As 
Rufus put it, followed to the letter. :-) That's the opposite of 
'short shrift'. (let alone the fact that you generalized it to Mozilla 
products)


As a matter of fact, if you do a search of bugzilla for any SeaMonkey 
bugs with a comment containing all the strings grippies apple hig, 
you'll find the bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460699

Make the default theme look better *on mac*  (bold added by me)

Whether or not you disagree with the decision is completely separate. 
You presumed to know *why* grippies are not there.



And I still don't recall any mass outrage. Which news server was
that?
Which newsgroup?


the SM/Mozilla groups on the old Mozilla server is the
netscape.public.mozilla.* hierarchy, which is archived on Google Groups.
Now that there is an archive available to you, you can back up your
claims with URLs.
http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=usenet%3Dnetscape.public.mozilla


I type in Grippies and there was showing least at 121 instances as far
back as 2006 on the subject. Its possible there are more under different
spellings and this just indicates number of times the subject came up
not the number of threads for each time. Other Possible spelling are
Grippies, grippies, gripies, Gripies, Griplets, Griplets, Griplets, and
so on. Based on subjects and threads in those subject I wouldn't be
surprised if there wasn't actually a 1000 post or more on the subject.

And it only goes back as far as 2006 there was likely post about before
then.


That's not my problem. You made the claim; it's your responsibility to 
back it up. It's called a bibliography. If you're having trouble 
narrowing your search, how about grippies gone or some variation of 
that. The netscape.public.mozilla.* newsgroups have been archived since 
around the year 2000 or before. If you cannot find instances in the time 
you claim the mass outrage existed, that's a sign that you're wrong.


It's natural if you're upset about a change and find someone (maybe two) 
who agree with you, to remember it as mass outrage.

My point exactly - it's one thing if the Manufacturer wants to produce 
an OEM product that way, but a third party has no reason not to respond 
to and/or implement direct requests of users!

THE solution is to not add any grippies but to make the whole splitter
bars (Sidebar, Message Pane, etc.) double-clickable to automatically
collapse/expand them.
This behavior doesn't violate any Apple HIG and I think will make users
happy again.




That's actually the better solution.

In most cases, you can grab the splitter and drag it, so most of the 
time the grippies are not really needed.  However, in Rufus' example of 
the sidebar, the sidebar won't close all the way doing that.

...unless you're working on a laptop with a trackpad - then not having 
grippies/snap-on-click is seriously annoying.


Won't close or open - I have to drag for open/close.  And as mentioned, 
the splitter bar is too narrow to get a...wait for it - grip on - with a 
trackpad.  Particularly the gesturing trackpad...I get all sorts of 
mis-clicks and frustration just trying to get the cursor on it, let 
alone drag it...

Banking site or similar? Sites like that ask SM to not store those

And I bet there is a way to tell SM that I want to store the

even when the site ask it not to. I just can't find what to
change. ;-)



The remember passwords droplet still works However, it cause the items
to appears as I have explained you have to type in part of the
username
before the password will pop in.

As for what the banks as for so long as you use as encrypted, and
use as
Master password for SM or FF. That should be _more than_ sufficient.

The only one, that currently lives with me, is my 85 year old
mother and
she don't even know how to turn my computers on. I still have a Master
password on all of my web Browsers and SM. I trust no one with my
computer.

As long as you work with a Master Password and encryption turned on,
then the banks should have nothing to worry about.

Now Bank of America have a Login then you are switched to a site key
page and if you don't recognize the picture of your site key you don't
type in your Password. Now that doesn't work with the Remember.
Passwords droplet.



No matter what I've tried, SM2 will not save the UN and/or PW.



Try this link. I tried it and it works for me.
I've backed up the original dmg file just in case Something goes bump.



Maybe you could post the link? ;-)


http://cybernetnews.com/firefox-remember-passwords/



Did you see my other reply. After doing what's on that web page, it's
working, I just didn't see it. Link has been saved.



I post to thread as I see them.

Re: SeaMonkey 1.1.18 vs SeaMonkey 2.1 (if/when 2.1 is released)

Thus, in light of what I have read, I am wondering if it would wise for
me to wait for a future release of SeaMonkey before upgrading my
system...I suppose I am hoping that some changes will be incorporated
into a future upgrade, that would make the move go more smoothly.  Any
comments would be appreciated.


You may want to wait for some minor release, e.g. SeaMonkey 2.0.1 or 
2.0.2. You should not wait for SeaMonkey 2.1, though, since that one 
will probably give a worse migration experience (AFAIK the ability to 
migrate download history will be removed in that version).

You have Mac version or PC Version. It seems even in Mozilla products
the Mac platform got short shrift.


Philip Chee already stated in this thread [1], that not adding grippies
was intentional, because it didn't conform to Apple's human interface
guidelines [2].


Well I prefer to use My Human Interface guidelines. It something I've
used since the days of Communicator and found useful.

You develop software for the people that use it not some silly edict by
a company, even if its my favorite computer Manufacturer


Then what did you mean by short shrift? In the case grippies,
SeaMonkey developers paid attention to an issue specific to Mac and
addressed it.


You never answered the above question. If I google short shrift, I
read that it means to give very little consideration/time. Yet in this
case, grippies were not included in the default theme on Mac /because/
SeaMonkey developers took the time and effort to consider Apple HIG. As
Rufus put it, followed to the letter. :-) That's the opposite of
'short shrift'. (let alone the fact that you generalized it to Mozilla
products)

As a matter of fact, if you do a search of bugzilla for any SeaMonkey
bugs with a comment containing all the strings grippies apple hig,
you'll find the bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460699
Make the default theme look better *on mac*  (bold added by me)

Whether or not you disagree with the decision is completely separate.
You presumed to know *why* grippies are not there.


And I still don't recall any mass outrage. Which news server was
that?
Which newsgroup?


the SM/Mozilla groups on the old Mozilla server is the
netscape.public.mozilla.* hierarchy, which is archived on Google Groups.
Now that there is an archive available to you, you can back up your
claims with URLs.
http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=usenet%3Dnetscape.public.mozilla


I type in Grippies and there was showing least at 121 instances as far
back as 2006 on the subject. Its possible there are more under different
spellings and this just indicates number of times the subject came up
not the number of threads for each time. Other Possible spelling are
Grippies, grippies, gripies, Gripies, Griplets, Griplets, Griplets, and
so on. Based on subjects and threads in those subject I wouldn't be
surprised if there wasn't actually a 1000 post or more on the subject.

And it only goes back as far as 2006 there was likely post about before
then.


That's not my problem. You made the claim; it's your responsibility to
back it up. It's called a bibliography. If you're having trouble
narrowing your search, how about grippies gone or some variation of
that. The netscape.public.mozilla.* newsgroups have been archived since
around the year 2000 or before. If you cannot find instances in the time
you claim the mass outrage existed, that's a sign that you're wrong.

It's natural if you're upset about a change and find someone (maybe two)
who agree with you, to remember it as mass outrage.

I found at least 121 entries for the subject. going back to 2006  as I 
said That was just using on particular spelling. I don't believe use 
Fuzzy logic for these search. and at least 121 items is not one or two


I any event we mad our case and someone has already suggested a way (not 
me) how to put the action back on the default theme. who knows maybe it 
will happen. They may also be blowing smoke. I and Rufus and other have 
found  that the Modern theme provides them and we do have other themes 
that provide it.


Although the situation is not ideal it is workable now.
