Having a issue with the latest builds. Yahoo news pages aren't rendering correctly. The top and bottom are not showing. Ex:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061003/tc_nm/sony_dc_2

Works ok in the non-G5 RC1, but not in any of these builds.

Hey, you're right! Looking at the Error Console now, I see lots of "Error in parsing value for property 'font'. Declaration dropped." lines. The same error message occurs for "cursor" and "text-align" in place of "font" as well. Haven't got the time to snoop around now, but it certainly is a problem. Whether with my daily builds only or a general problem with post-RC1 branch, I don't know. Will try to investigate when I have the time. Thanks for the heads up.

Those pages are just so horribly coded...
But the header could be a Fx problem (I assume the search bar at the top). That is inserted via Javascript. I can see it in my Camino trunk build, but not BonEcho.

jgleigh, I just tried the official post-RC1 nightlies and the problem is there too, so the problem is *not* specific to my builds. A regression must've been introduced after RC1. I agree with phiw13 that the pages is horribly coded, but Firefox should handle it a bit better perhaps. Safari and IE (on Windows) displays the content fine, and phiw13 already indicated that it works fine in Camino.

Drumsticks;

Firefox 2.0 RC2 Seems very stable, but I suppose there might be some fixes out this week after Fridays release...
Possibly even an RC3, but I've been using RC2, And So far, I have not discovered any problems...

Go Firefox !

Yup. RC2 seems pretty good. Here's the G5 version.

Drumsticks;

Is it possible to get a G5 RC 2 Build with Official Branding?

drumsticks · Post by **drumsticks** » October 7th, 2006, 5:47 pm

No can do. Official branding can only be used for official builds. You should know that Ray!

Bummer, It's just that certain sites I visit Look specifically for "Firefox", like MSNBC, Yahoo, etc,
and with MSNBC, I installed RC2 on my Windows Laptop and now the whole MSNBC site works perfectly.
It does not like BonEcho at all. None of the flyouts will work etc with BonEcho....

I have to find a way around the Official Branding thing so these other sites don't see BonEcho and see it as Firefox
If I want to use the G5 Build...

This is why I have been having trouble with the BonEcho Build.

Tons of site do not recognize Bonecho as a browser.

You need to use the User Agent Switcher extension Ray.
