Firefox 0.9 Shaping Up
I haven't posted for a while because I've been very busy with the 1.0 Branch, the 0.9 bug list, and other things. Here are some updates:
* The new Extension Manager is working quite well. I've fixed a few bugs but it seems there's nothing showstopping so far. Please continue to test this feature on the branch, and file bugs and nominate for .9 if you run into any problems.
* I've been charging through the 0.9 bug list and now it's down to 8 blocking0.9+ bugs. If you know of any serious bugs that you think should block this release, please nominate them!
* The updated products site and release notes are pretty much ready.

A request - please focus extension testing efforts on the branch builds, none of this is enabled on the trunk yet due to code review delays so by using the trunk you're wasting your time since that's not the code we're going to be shipping with 0.9 or 1.0

#245433 "Search Web for" on the right click menu of highlighted text doesn't work (installer only)

Has been marked as fixed (branch and trunk).

[Peter(6)]

Yep, the patch was checked in 10 minutes ago.

[EDIT] This patch seems to cause big problems on all building machines [/EDIT]

when i open new tab with some link in it in a background, it seems that i'm unable to scroll up/down the current tab or click on links, or, if i'm able, then the scrolling is crappy. is it a bug ir is this a something specific to firefox?

[Peter(6)]

can you give an example page ?

[bush]

for example. open any page in tab 1. open tab 2 and try to open http://community.sigames.com in it. while tab 2 is loding, there is problems scrolling a page in tab 1. after page in tab 2 finishes loading, everything's gone back fine

WFM

of course, if you have fast internet connection, you may not be able to switch fast enough. as i said, it only occurs, while the page is loading

[Peter(6)]

WFM, it takes up to several minutes to post a message here at the moment so I had plenty of time to try it out.
I don't know about autoscroll though , I never use that.

[MistFox]

someone confirm for me please.

open firefox
go to www.foobar2000.org

open IE
go to www.foobar2000.org

tell me if there is a differences?

[peaveyman]

Big difference for me, Opera displays correctly, though.

[ghost dog]

big difference too.

[Peter(6)]

Foobar2000.org seems to suffer from a css error, the default stylesheet is not displayed.

The Javascript Console message tells it all:

Error: The stylesheet http://www.foobar2000.org/foo.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "application/octet-stream", is not "text/css".

[noigeaR]

can confirm, www.foobar2000.org displays wrong with branch build 20040604, but also with a very old "firebird" build from 20040129

[task]

foobar is also wrong using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040603 Firefox/0.8.0+ (MOOX-TK) that in fact is aviary
