Mozilla 1.7 to Become New Long-Lived Stable Branch
Firefox future
Firefox is set to branch on 2004-04-12

*Firefox 0.9*
- One major piece of feature work left to do - extension manager UI
- Current plan calls for a release in 1st week of May; this may change if Mozilla schedule changes.
- Coming off the 1.7 branch, probably on the far side of the 1.7 release.
- 0.9 will be feature complete; rock-solid stability is the next target(1.0).

If you find problems/bugs:

1. Post them in this thread
2. Properly describe the problem
3. Include the url where you have the problem (if this is the case)
4. Include the "about mozilla firefox" information (under the help button)
5. Installer build or .zip version?
6. Did you completely erase the Firefox directory first?
7. Does a new profile fix the problem?
8. Include the list of extensions you have installed (preferably none to start with)

This makes it a lot easier for others to duplicate your problem.

Needs less red.

Needs less red.

I know he was somewhat joking, but #7 can probably go.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2004-04-09-09-trunk/Due to a servererror no W32 builds have been made in the past hours

Bug? IRC chat log? Anything? I'm curious about this.

[MozJF]

Just look here :

http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds ... =SeaMonkey

Win32 clobber is on fire since a high number of hours.

Looks like branching is harder than expected.

And also, looks like to be a bad week-end. Will I do some builds before next monday ?

[Peter(6)]

Dono, the server just crashes all the time.
Normally someone add a comment about what's going on but that hasn't happened yet.
There are no usefull bugfixes this time so nothing missed in that respect.
I will update the top article as soon as I know something.

[Peter(6)]

Oops, there they are....
Happy now ?

[Waldo]

Dummy, I should have remembered tinderbox. Wow, the Seamonkey Win32 tree's been on fire for quite a while, it seems. The Firefox tree seems possibly okay now, tho I'm not sure whether that simply reflects Firefox bustage or backend bustage.

[edit]Yay, time to upgrade from 20040402![/edit]

I just upgraded to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040408 Firefox/0.8.0+", and I have a bug to report. The Password manager isn't working. When I have the Save Passwords option checked, the "Submit" and "Login" boxed don't work on any Sign in page. When I un-check the "Save PAssword" option, the same Login buttons start working fine. I wonder if it has been fixed with this new version.

I once had the same problem and I fixed it by a clean reinstall (deleting installation directory, installing Firefox and creating a new profile). Then import bookmarks, passwords, forms etc. Hope this works for you, good luck.

I always clean install. I copy userchrome etc to a backup folder and delete the profile directory and the fire fox directory before installing.

[bytemaster]

Try an actuall clean profile, just with one site. User Chrome could cause that problem...
