built from the Mozilla 1.5 branch today from a new tree, using MSVC++ 6.0 and the official build options (from about:buildconfig in the most recent win32 nightly).

please post any problems you have with this build in the thread, this is very close to what you will see when 0.7 comes out for real. Anything that is a real showstopper has been triaged in Bugzilla already, please don't vent about your pet bugs here.

Edit: stomach problems == no coffee == stupid linkage, thanks

Works so far very well.
But if this build works well, why there is then no official build?

Edit : This build is very fast. Very good work.

This seems to be working well for me as well on Win2k SP4. Fresh profile and the test version of TBE at

Check out the UA: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030919 Firebird/0.7

Used a fresh profile.

One thing I noticed was that most extensions that normally offer a chooice between profile and global simply installed to their folder. These installed to global: ctc, goto, linkit, linky, mozfrbh, pasteandgo, textplain, ttlo. These extensions installed to profile: aio, link toolbar (it did not give me a choice!), copyimage, autoform, mozcalc, quicknote, toolbarext. Note that when I am given a choice, I install to profile.

I was careful to install toolbar extension 0.2 and not 0.3--0.3 has been changed to reflect a change in organization that occurred on the Moz 1.6 trunk. Toolbarext 0.2 is working fine in this build.

So far, other than the no-choice extension installations, all is OK.

BTW--Thank you for building 0.7 on the 1.5 trunk. I was getting distressed thinking that 0.7 would be built on shifty alpha code.

Anyone else have a problem with the OK button not working in the dialog notifying about blocked popups?
I had to use task manager to close Firebird since I could not close the modal dialog box.

Works great so far! No new Easter Egg though?

WFM.

Still the nagging issue of favicons in the links toolbar, but I like this build better than 2003-09-17 and (unofficial) 2003-09-18.

Another problem with this build is the difficulty with bookmark folders. Sometimes you can't close them. When the Bookmarks Toolbar gets hung open, for example, it can be devilishly hard to close.

The Bookmarks Toolbar can overhang the horizontal space; when it does that, it forms a dropdown menu that can get into trouble in this build. I don't remember this being a problem before now.

Wow this is a pretty good build! Seems very fast to me compared to some of the the nightlies lately. no offense to anyone lol. If this is a taste of what 0.7 is like then the final is going to be great. I think Firebird will blow all the other browsers away by the time it hits the 1.0 milestone. Keep up the good work guys:)

That's a relatively "old" bug. See <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210910">bug 210910</a>. There's a patch for this bug that works, as I added it to my 0.6.1 Plus and it works just fine, but it's yet to be reviewed by a Mozilla developer. I hope it makes it in to 0.7.

If it doesn't, I suppose I'll have to commission a special 0.7 build as well.

umm ..unless I missed something, I find that if I go to the themes sites it gives me the skin 1.2 themes I believe and not the 1.5.

I can get lynch's mercnvert and updated Gant to work properly.

I'm using a new profile for this build.

but why is the texturizer and extensionroom giving me old themes?

edit: woo hoo ftp://ftp. links now work for me as it didn't in Sept.12-17 nightlys.
