Thanks, jznomoney, again! :)

Oddly enough, I ran into the same issue regarding the registry keys I mentioned previously. This issue didn't happen with your first build, however, as I also mentioned, I have experienced it in the past. Probably something with my setup.

Regardless, jznomoney, I thank you for your efforts. The builds work great! :D

It seems after an install I have to delete the "ddeexec" keys of the "http" and "https" keys in order to launch a link from an email after the install. As I explained a few posts back:
More than likely NOT related to the build, but I had to edit my registry, specifically the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\ddeexec " and the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\ddeexec" keys as links in emails would not start. Deleting those keys and rebooting fixed the issue.


I'm going to try the latest trace monkey build and see if occurs with that as well. I'm pretty sure it's related to some setting on my system. Perhaps a total uninstall and re-install will fix it but it's really not that big of an issue to me.

EDIT: I installed the latest trace monkey and the link issue did not occur, jznomoney, but when I installed your build it did. I really don't know what it means but it might be good information for you to have. I just confirmed, after re-installing the latest trace monkey, the link error was fixed.

maybe its something fixed in tracemonkey that isn't yet in mozilla-central. My builds are based on mozilla-central. If you can search to see if there is a bug open about your problem and paste it I will apply the fix to my mozilla central build.

Interestingly enough, jznomoney, I reinstalled your build after installing the latest trace monkey and the error did not occur. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for your interest and, especially, thank you for incorporating the bug fix into the central build.

Are you saying that JZnomoney has incorporated the same patch/fix in the central build on nightly updates as he posts in his version?

Available resource. As only Linux and Mac OS X will be supported in 64-bit for Firefox 4, they have priority.

Other than teoli2003 I think the cause is more likely this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604323 which is fixed in tracemonkey but not in trunk that causes build bustage. Until this is fixed there will be no new build.

Actually. I'm not saying anything. I'll let jznomoney present any information regarding such should he care to elaborate further.
