Fresh install of 1.5 RC2. Anybody getting these, WFM/confirm?

• Left side cut in half, text pushed to the left to the point where it's unreadable:
http://www.myspace.com/placebo5
I'm assuming this could be the site's fault [bad code] though I'm not sure...

• Also, is anyone getting the forced option of having to save the .exe instead just being able to open it:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

Click the "Free Download Now" button; obviously uncheck the e-mail subscriptions boxes or you will be prompted to enter a e-mail.

Stop the page from loading to avoid the automatic download, *that is if you are even prompted. Choose the manual download - Your download will start automatically. If it does not start "click here" link and wala.
*I think this is a bug also, b/c it never prompted me to auto d/l so whether it's the page's or FF's fault remains to be determined.

B/c I know we fixed this unless it regressed. Peter I think #299042 [Firefox]-"Ask me where to save every file" preference is not honored [Win] is back [Made sure to set Always ask me where to save file; although I didn't restart FF to see if it changed effect though I believe I shouldn't have to restart in the 1st place]. Or even worse, #255855 [Firefox]-[trunk] The dialog that opens when clicking a link to an .exe file has no radio button selected by default. This leads to a useless download! [Win]. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noooooooooooooo!
Btw, do you know how long it took me to find that bug?!! I had to backtrack all the way to the 20041206 [Trunk] build thread! WOOF!

• Change Popup blocking settings icon not defocusing:
After you click the popup blocking icon to make a setting, clicking off the menu on the page or statusbar or what have you should snap you out of the menu. Yet it just keeps you locked in the menu until you make a choice or click the popup block icon itself.

I think this could be dependant on #253076 [Core:Event Handling]-[FIX] clicking somewhere in the page does not remove selection [All], number 6 in the list. I know what the descript says but it still could be dep as the select & move option has been found to be rendered inoperable by this.

• Focus of tab title element stays stuck [multi tabs included]/breaks Double-click closing of tab:
I was just messing around and clicked on the tab title of a tab in focus, and it brought up that drag pixelation like you get when selecting more than one icon on a desktop by holding & dragging the mouse to encompass the items w/ the ?. Forgive me, forgot proper term. It's been a while.

And, it stays stuck and clicking on any multiple tabs will focus their title on 1st try. Clicking once more on the title would be nice to rid the focus/selection but no go. Double-click, rapid subsequent clicks also won't do it nor will it close the tab like it should by default. Thus breaking double-click close. The only way and I mean the ONLY way to shed the focus is to click in the view pane [where we view webpages]. Not that serious, but annoying nonetheless.

• Ask me before clearing private data pref greyed out...:
Never gives you a chance! Don't tell me this is by design - "For the safety of the user". Please! They're competent enough to check/uncheck a checkbox as well as decide if they want to be prompted.

• Context menu scroll arrows presented when not needed; can't justify when it's necessary:

Found this posted in 2 places of the Firefox Build Forums.

I found posted on the forums a message that there was a Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC3 build with a link to it!! So I went to the link in Mozilla and sure enough found that there was a Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC3 directory there. I than downloaded the file and installed what I thought was Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC3!! What I found out about this version of Mozilla Firefox 1.5 made me angry!! It was Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 2!!. How could Mozilla allow this to happen?? Who controls the FTP site?? I had to laugh later when Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 start page took me to Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC2 home page. I completely uninstalled the beta version of Mozilla Firefox 1.5. Folks need to be careful when downloading Mozilla Firefox 1.x from the FTP Site!!
I do test the beta versions listed as: Beta or nightly builds. RC's I consider being close to to final product!! Anyway, Maybe someone can explain this situation to me!!

You know stuff like this would not go on if people would not post false info about RC3. Mozilla Quality is the site you should be watching. Not some FTP site.

Well, if he downloaded the nightly build that was the RC3 candidate, he could have been redirected to the 1.5b2 page upon his first opening. That was what happened to me a few times last week with a few nightly builds. I was going to ask about it, but just assumed that everything was fine because the version numbers matched up to what I had wanted to download.

Lookee what I found --- .mar files for RC3

Lately, I've been getting a "Unresponsive Script" dialog box for some sites that use Javascript.

How do I turn it off because its driving me CRAZY.

[MvD]

Just got an update to 1.5 from RC2. I am guessing 1.5 is out....

Since the build ID says its a november 11th build, I am guessing there will be no RC3.

Hey, they've gotta replace those annoying popups with something! I get this one quite often in Sage these days, and as you say, very, very annoying.

Open about:config and toggle javascript.options.strict OFF.
