The March 3rd build has been posted to the mozilla ftp site, ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/phoenix/nightly/latest-trunk/. The Windows build has returned.

Just did clean install with new profile on WinXP. Works O.K. untill I installed the Tab Browser Extension - now I can't start Phoenix at all. I get an Alert "Error launching browser window: no XBL binding for browser."

Do you mean Tabbrowser Prefences? If so, that totally suxs. Phoenix just finished downloading as I write this, so i'll have to try it. Any other bugs fixed/made?

*Note: Today has a cool date: 03/03/03

How did you get it to start in the first place? When I did a clean install of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030303 Phoenix/0.5 (Win XP Pro), cranked it up to Profile Manager and created a new profile, Phoenix simply died as it tried to connect with Mozilla.org.

The problem was solved by copying the contents of my 2003-02-21 build's profile into the new profile, but this is still a fairly buggy piece of code.

At least xpi's install, and the doubled icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar no longer occur.

Me too, but the fix for TBE here works:

http://www.mozillazine.org/forums/viewt ... 1053#51053

I replaced my tabextensions.jar" with <a href="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/salisburys/phoenix/tabextensions.jar">peterthevicar's!</a> (This file is in your Pxinstalldir/chrome)

And deleted XUL.mfl and tabextensions.rdf (in your profile dir)

It works! Yay!

Thank you fellow Mozillaziners! (especially PtV & noririty)

Well, it works for me. I do not have the TabBrowser Extensions though, I have TabBrowser Preferences.

I tried it without making a new profile, and it works just fine.

I don't have any extensions installed, though.

Precisely. But this sure flies in the face of the advice we've been giving: start with a new profile . . .

I just tried with a new profile, too and it works without any problems... Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030303 Phoenix/0.5 - at least I was able to start Px and it runs nice, but one mysterious thing is: we have a firewall and we have to use a proxy server. Normally when I use a new profile I have to enter the proxys - but now Px works without these proxys (Connections settings are set to default settings for new profiles "Direct connection to the internet")...

But it uses the new profile as all my bookmarks are gone - will do some further testing on this, e.g. start an older version of Px with a new profile and see whether this is able to connect, too, without proxy settings.

EDIT: tried back with version 2003-01-05 and I still was able to use Px without setting our proxy - so forget about the above mentioned "mysterious thing"...

So what's the verdict? Any major bugs? Is this version worth upgrading from say 20030221 build?

A lot of bugs have been fixed in this release:
The long awaited http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177572 and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194865
And also http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184285 which introduced a small other bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195856

Oh, and I've uploaded the installer for this one :)

It also allows you to specify your Profile location. Start it with the -p switch , click Manage User Profiles. Create Profile, click Next, click Choose Folder and go on from there.

galapogos · Post by **galapogos** » March 4th, 2003, 2:18 am

Great...I'm still waiting for http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101190 to be fixed though

Any new bugs arise from this one? Or existing ones that arose since 20030221 but hasn't been resolved yet?
