minutes of the meeting 2004-04-05 wrote:*Mozilla 1.7 final* - This will be the new stable branch - Still talking 6/7 weeks and a couple of release candidates - People are upset that the announcement wasn't made earlier - That is, we didn't make official-sounding announcements in all the right places - We are apologising, and committing to doing better in the future - Need to split the roadmap into two parts - soon and future - and get the "soon" part out there - We need to find a good balance between doing the basic research and thinking, and communicating those things that have enough cohesion to be beyond the squishy stage.
*Firefox 0.9* - Extension Manager UI is now working - For the server side, Ben is writing a Java web service based on Tomcat, with MySQL back end - DNS name will be update.mozilla.org - Software update - notifications only - is on the plan for 1.0 - blake is working on an ActiveX control which runs in IE, to download and install Firefox more smoothly

#241200si_CheckGetUsernamePassword does work to get a better dialog title and then does nothing with it.(Moz1.8a?)

these lists do not include fixes etc that are not marked Browser/Firefox and Win/All (OS).
Additional workaround information for Bug #241068 (Crash when trying to enter text in input field).
If you really have to have Saved Form Information enabled, then use the extension AutoForm. Saved form info appears to work normally. Otherwise, text entry still causes a crash.
(You don't have to actually use AutoForm, just have it enabled)
Noticed This Post made by Verdant about the scroll wheel having backwards behavior. Using shift + wheel to go Fwd & Back pages.
I'm noticing this too with the an installer and a clean prof.

wow... someone really cleaned up the nominations... seems that the vast majority has been declined well... seen how many bugs are already (and still) targetted for .9 i hope they will all be fixed before .9 comes out ... (in may i hope - but i have my doubts)

When I select Help | Help Contents the help window pops up normally but selecting a topic in the left pane does not result in text in the right pane, it just remains blank. The topics in the left pane can be expanded and collapsed and otherwise appear to be working normally.
I've had this problem in the last few builds, I don't know when it started.
The problem occurs in Windows 2000. I've used the zip builds extracted into a new directory. The problem occurs on a clean profile and my well-worn one.
