There's no time to... SCNR. Incidentally I know that "the developers", 
which in this case mostly means TB developers, continually fix memory 
leaks. So chances are that the ones you are seeing are actually caused 
by add-ons rather than the application itself.

Re: Old Eyes

[Roger Fink]

 Original Message 

Old is right!  For a person with reactive glare problems caused by a
cataract, white on black eliminates the problem, especially when you're on
the one-eyed monster for long hours.  Also, I don't understand why web
designers use light-colored fonts on white or light backgrounds.  I have to
squint to see them.
Using Windows 7 I've made the "high contrast" change there and have been
doing everything in white on black for years.  Learned that with Word
Perfect long ago.
One minor problem:  Some website "submit"-type boxes may not show up on the
black background, so I simply stab around with the tab key to find them.
If I can't negotiate through a site easily, I switch to a white browser,
which I keep available for that purpose.

Are you sure you want to do that? Isn't it backwards with white-on-black?
I believe sharp black-on-white is much easier to read.


No, bright text on black screen is easier to read (for everyone, kids just
don't
notice). When the screen is bright the pupils shrink, think trying to see a
traffic signal when the sun is in your eyes. That's why there's a "backlit"
option on cameras.


White-on-black is common on garage band web sites...


I'm not sure that's relevant to the technical issues... I like green on
black
personally, that's also not relevant.


As someone who has experienced this firsthand, I share your disdain of 
close contrast text/background websites.


While I have nothing against garage bands, since Mozart is close by when 
things head south, white font on black background is pretty radical 
surgery. I'd opt for cataract surgery first, but until that happens 
consider overriding the website font with a font that overrides all 
webpage fonts, which Mozilla allows you to do. Tiresias PCfont Z was 
designed specifically to enhance readability on computer screens. It's 
freely available for download, and I find it excellent.

Minor crash after edit of preference in about:config

I can usually successfully start by launching with a different

If you do not already have it get PrefBar and install it.  It's at
.

Then go to 
and install the Permissions Menu menulist.  This allows you to get the
old-style Cookies Manager from the PrefBar tool bar.

It also allows you to get the old-style Popups Manager and Image
Manager.  Although I have never used the Installation Manager (so I'm
not sure what it is), it also allows you to use the old-style of that.

Re: Old Eyes

You could also try cyan or magenta on black and see if that's more 
visible/easier on your eyes than white text.  Under SM 
Preferences-Appearance-Colors you can force-choose the colors for text 
and background if you uncheck Use System Colors, and also check Use my 
chosen colors (which may make pictures look funny on websites).  This 
should affect both Panes.


You can also force SM font size under Preferences-Appearance-Fonts; 
could just be a matter of picking one that is more visible for you.

Old Eyes

[Lori]

Old is right!  For a person with reactive glare problems caused by a
cataract, white on black eliminates the problem, especially when you're on
the one-eyed monster for long hours.  Also, I don't understand why web
designers use light-colored fonts on white or light backgrounds.  I have to
squint to see them.
Using Windows 7 I've made the "high contrast" change there and have been
doing everything in white on black for years.  Learned that with Word
Perfect long ago.
One minor problem:  Some website "submit"-type boxes may not show up on the
black background, so I simply stab around with the tab key to find them.
If I can't negotiate through a site easily, I switch to a white browser,
which I keep available for that purpose.

No, bright text on black screen is easier to read (for everyone, kids just
don't 
notice). When the screen is bright the pupils shrink, think trying to see a 
traffic signal when the sun is in your eyes. That's why there's a "backlit" 
option on cameras.

I'm not sure that's relevant to the technical issues... I like green on
black 
personally, that's also not relevant.

   We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination.  -me, 2010

But a smaller pupil improves focus, so there's a bit of a trade-off. I 
personally find black on white easier to read with my particular brand 
of myopia; YMMV.

Thank you in advance. :)


chrome://communicator/content/permissions/cookieViewer.xul



And what other goodies are hidden in,I presume, xul.dll?
I did a Google search of mozilla.org for "xul.dll" and got 1000's 
of hits related to crashes if that file is missing/corrupted. 
Didn't see any documentation.
