If you look in your Firefox profile folder, how big is sessionstore.js?

Hi - sessionstore.js is 113,182 bytes which strikes me as not that large (?).

Fwiw, the biggest file in the top-level directory of the profile is places.sqlite which is 10 MB.

I might note that I run Diskeeper which is supposed to defragment my drives and help performance but sometimes I wonder.

Nightly 14.0a1
Windows XP

Nightly is incompatible with the downloadhelper extension. The add-on installs, but Nightly crashes when you right-click on a toolbar and select Customize.

You might have it backward. Video downloadhelper is not compatible with Nightly!

You don't actually know who Seamaiden or her history or background is do you?

Not likely and may have missed the clues in her signature. Her account here was older as it was one of the about 1983 accounts (that I could figure) that were lost in Oct 2007 due to a database crash.

Nightly 15.0a1 (2012-05-01), the roll over menu popup type objects do not expand anymore.
I manage Cisco Call Manager, the latest patch somehow broke how java based navigation menus work.

I can't find an example on the web but I have a screenshot that shows the trouble, I have include a snippet of page source so someone can examine this... Basically the drop down arrow is not rendered and hovering on the button doesn't cause the menu to expand. So the code below would put a system button and a drop down arrow next to it and hovering on it would popup a menu.

<ul id="udm" class="udm">
<li id="system"><h3><a id="SystemButton" class="navButton" class="nohref" tabindex="10">System</a></h3>
<ul style="width:20em">
<li><a href="/ccmadmin/serverFindList.do" tabindex="11" >Server</a></li>
<li><a href="/ccmadmin/ccmFindList.do" tabindex="11" >Cisco Unified CM</a></li>
<li><a href="/ccmadmin/ccmGroupFindList.do" tabindex="11" >Cisco Unified CM Group</a></li>
.
.
.

Just patched to today's release and it is still broke :(

Maybe the UA string change that dropped the build date breaks things?

Is there anything that I could do to help troubleshoot this? I don't how that could affect roll over buttons.

TIA,
Joe
