I thought just bug fixes went into the branch, and the same fixes as well as new stuff which may introduce bugs also goes into trunk. Wouldn't this make trunk "busier"?

Or did you mean working on bug fixes on the branch more than on the trunk (even though branch bug fixes will benefit trunk)?

Well, the vast majority of major fixes right now I think are having to do with the Extension Manager... of which none of that work is presently going into the trunk.

Smaller bugs, I'm hoping, are being ported to both... otherwise, by the time Firefox 1.1 goes into development, there's going to be quite a mess to clear up.

The same 'fixes' (fixes, new features, any changes) which land on the branch don't always also land on the trunk. I don't know why, but that seems to be the case.

And at the moment, a great majority of development work is going in to ironing out bugs to get the FF and TB branches nice and polished for their 1.0 releases (the FF0.9 and TB0.7 releases may be viewed as more-or-less large-scale Release Candidates for 1.0 -- they're point releases, but development will stay on the same branch path until 1.0).

I'm sure Beast is gonna burn like hell wenn branch and trunk are merged.
Some devs think 2~3 days of continous debugging before a build can be produced :-)

Who's going to volunteer to test the first one ?

Re: "I can't install any extensions" Posted: Jun Fri 4th 2004 11:13pm

I can now install extensions - the install button just takes a while to appear.

However I can't install the "Java" Extension, link:

It all comes off the same CVS repository, but just to make sure I have installed the official build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040604 Firefox/0.8.0+

Clean profile, clean install. I'm still getting the problem. If you didn't see my earlier post,

and I'm still getting bug 240903, clicking image inputs causes image to be highlighted in purple/blue. The bug has been marked resolved but is a Browser bug. The fix apparently hasn't been checked into Aviary yet. Should I file a new bug for this, post a comment in 240903, wait patiently, or what?

Horrible page indeed (crash here too). Despite the fact that that page won't validate acc. W3C, Firefox should not crash on it.
Opera 7.23 and K-Meleon 0.8.2. and IE 6 have NO problem displaying that page.

Submitted http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245631 for it
