Re: Firefox 3.6.4 (Lorentz)

Post by patrickjdempsey »

Hmm... I typically only ever use one window, so that's usually *everything* for me, but if the Download Manager is considered it's own individual element it would make sense why it would stay open when Firefox "closes". Curiously, I don't use a single other application that behaves this way.

But the main problem I'm having is that the Download manager appears to be staying open when it's empty whereas with previous versions I thought it was closing itself automatically when it was emptied.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

(check on "close it when all downloads are finished" in "Options")
not when emptied but when finished.
and stay open if you open DM manually before downloading.

BTW, check/try with safe-mode and new profile ?

"Close when downloads are finished" is a different setting. That closes the Download Manager even though there are still items listed in it as soon as the downloads are complete. I leave the DLM open so I can hit Open Containing Folder and get to the files I've saved. But when I hit Clear, I also have to hit X to close the DLM which I do not recall ever having to do before.

Could someone please check this for me on Linux to confirm.

I see the same in both current Namoroka and Minefield nightly builds on Linux (don't have the 3.6.4 RC).
It seems that the CBSlogin (Encrypted connections only) cookie is not created.
If I delete that cookie in 3.6.3 then the same happens if I refresh the login page (no need to click another link).
I need to delete the ASP.NET_SessionId cookie to make it work again.
It doesn't happen if I disable (block) all cookies from that website.

I checked it in another profile with Live HTTP Headers.
I see a request to create the CBSlogin cookie, but apparently that cookie doesn't get created and I do not see it in the cookie manager.

Since Fennec is taking Gecko 1.9.2.5 right now, Firefox will skip 3.6.5 as a result and go with 3.6.6. Looks like the devs are still trying to get Lorentz out as 3.6.4, but any urgent security release now may result in Lorentz being moved to Firefox 3.6.6.

EDIT - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2010- ... ker_Report

One blocker is still plaguing Lorentz and there's one other bug that can potentially block Lorentz.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2010- ... F_Schedule

Because of the blocker, Lorentz still doesn't have a clear schedule.

For the record, earlier builds of 3.6.4 had some pretty bad problems with crashing. As in sites that I have never had problems with were suddenly crashing in the middle of just playing content. Build 6 is more stable but I'm still seeing crashes I am not used to seeing previously.


Can we get specific URLs / sites you are seeing "crashes I am not used to seeing previously" on?

Thanks!

Well looks like there's a timeframe. 3.6.4 may go gold sometime next week (barring setbacks).

I had an update today. What was it? I'm still showing 20100527. And also the update history has been wiped.

We released an update to move people inadvertently on the "release" update channel to the "beta" update channel. If you manually downloaded the release from http://mozilla.com/firefox/all-beta.html you were accidentally put on the release channel (as we thought those builds were close to final when posted). We merely targeted those users and put them on the beta channel, where they are supposed to be. You are still running the same version of Firefox as before (3.6.4 build #6).

Bug 562198 that caused the issue in viewtopic.php?p=9468569#p9468569 is fixed.
I've tested it with the latest hourly builds of Namoroka and Minefield and it now works on Linux, so the next Minefield nightly build and a next Firefox 3.6.4 build should have it as well.

Bug 562198 – Firefox 3.6.4 doesn't obey HTTP Set-Cookie in this case, while Firefox 3.6.3 does (Fx 3.6.4 on Linux produces Year 2038 problem)

YouTube and thedailyshow.com full episode player are pretty much the only video sites I look at.
