Something broken with build 2002-11-19

[ehume]

Not only do mouse gestures not work, but the Text Links extension also doesn't work: The right-click options are there, but you don't go anywhere.

Both extensions work fine in build 2002-11-14.

I don't use either of those extensions, but I did encounter a problem with build 2002-11-18 and 19. My startup page is just an html file on my desktop (I'm running Windows XP) with a bunch of links in it. Phoenix now seems to have a problem with the spaces in the path (c:\documents and settings\[username]\desktop). When I launch Phoenix, I get a popup that says something like can't find c:\documents\ and my window opens with 3 tabs (blank, AltaVista, and Barnes and Noble: none of which are links on my html page!). I can't remember the error exactly; I have since reverted back to build 2002-11-14, which does not have this problem. Anyone else experience this?

Same problem here with Tab Extensions

I'm surprised you got away with spaces as long as you did. I use shortcuts, and I have to put quotation marks around the path to the .exe. With Moz not only do I have to put quotes around the path, but another set around -p and another around the profile name I'm starting with.

As for tabs, I'm not surprised. Somewhere between -14 and -18 the developers changed something. I guess we'll find out what changes they made when they come up for air.

In the mean time, When I want all the bangs and whistles I use build 2002-11-14, which is the last Win32 build where everything seems to work.

Hopefully this will fix things. I haven't played with a nightly since about 11-12, so I haven't tested either of my extensions. (text links and altstyle) If they don't work in the next nightly, I'll have a look at it.

Furious,

I think I found the cause of your problem. In 11-18, Blake Ross introduced multiple URLs as home page. These URLs are separated by blanks. If you have blanks in your URLs (which is illegal BTW),
maybe the two parts are considered as multiple URLs.

I tried the following:
Set up my homepage to http://www.mozilla.org/[blank]
Restarted browser and two tabs were opened: the first one with mozilla and a second with "nothing"

Not sure at all about what I am saying!

It's fallen over without warning several times today. For reference, what I mostly use it for is my LiveJournal friends list (I'm bored at work, okay?). Can't wait for Phoenix to include talkback ...

hunh?

he means something like

"c:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Phoenix\phoenix.exe" -p "Phoenix profile"
(I'm making this up, I use Linux : ))

How about putting this as your home page :

file:///c|/documents%20and%20settings/[username]/desktop/page.html ?

Did you try with these settings?

I just added it to the end of the user css and it doesn't seem to help.

Do I leave a blank line between the previous instructions and what I added?

Did you restart Phoenix?

[audioaficionado]

Several times.

How do I edit that userContent.css file I just created?

I left all the example text and pasted the posted text under it.
