The Official Win32 2004-05-03 build is out.

[BenBasson]

Perhaps Mozilla Corporation needs to specify or only allow .9 approved extensions, so that older and out of date ones CAN'T be installed on .9 version.

With 0.9, the Extension API changes to include a form of version checking. All developers will have to (at least) update their installer and repackage their extensions, so presumably if anyone is going to those lengths, they'd also check for compatibility.

Could some try http://www.worktree.com/rm/rm_Qmore.cfm#7 and see if the links at the top scroll to the anchors in the text. It works in MSIE but FF does not scroll to the anchor.

Code: Select all

<a name="#7">

should be

Code: Select all

<a name="7">

It's a html error. FF does the right thing and does not see the link because it's not properly defined

Mmm lovely, lovely Green!!!

Speaking of green, what's the little green box down in the right-hand corner of the status bar?

Sorry if this has already been answered and I've missed it, I've been deep in the end of the semester for a little while now and haven't had a chance to keep up as much as I'd like . . .

[EDIT - Nevermind, found the answer to my own question. Too bad I can't just delete the post. ]

Arg, web standards.

Perhaps Firefox should be more flexible, but make a big fuss of HTML, so clicking that dodgy link would take you down the page, but after an alert saying "Arg, dodgy HTML, lousy authors"

The little green box is supposidly something to do with the new auto-update Ben is adding. On the 2 different computers I use, I've never seen the green box. But the area where this should be is on the status bar.

That's not likely to happen.

The 05-03 build seems to fix the problem I've been having with getting a notice to insert a disk when I download.

Not ever, and be assure that the next IE version won't work with that either.
Webmakers should use the proper browser to verify what they are doing.

Perhaps you've got the default save directory set to floppy drive?

That said, anybody know if Talkback is working in this build?
What about "unofficial" builds? Only on some OS's?

Thanks.

Not available in this build (Win32 Installer). It may be available in the ZIP builds (I think).

Perhaps someone can come up with a strict-mode Firefox extension in
which non-conforming pages are rejected, saving the user from having
to look at pages prepared by careless or ignorant programmers (which
is worse?).

Instead of showing the page the user would be provided with the option
of E-mailing the webmaster address (if one is found). To suit the
user's mood there would be options to send a friendly letter (I liked
your page but...), one just stating the facts (In HTML 4...), or one
written in an indignant tone (My dog...).

Seriously, what's the difference between the "#" in the anchor name
and the many other HTML flaws that Firefox and other browsers handle
using the likely intent of the writer?

Anyone know for sure?

I have had a lot of crashes with builds more recent than 4/16, and won't run a build without it any longer (call it doing my part to help).

I just downloaded the latest nightly Firefox-win32.zip and Talkback is NOT in it.
