As far as I've heard so many files are changed between releases (in the order of 80%) that such an update functionality would be nearly pointless, as the size of the download would nearly equal that of a full install. That leaves the point of no longer needing to uninstall the older version - I think nowadays you don't really have to anymore anyway; we already do lots of clean up of old files that cause problems. The problem is that it's nearly impossible to guarantee that there won't be any problems if you don't uninstall first, due to the huge amount of possible combinations of leftover files... and that doesn't seem to be a problem likely to go away or get any better anytime soon.

Yes, that's a bug on "installer".

The number of server-side imagemaps out in the world is approximately 0 (notice how long it took to even notice the bug existed -- over 3 months). 1.3.1 would mean that something was badly wrong with 1.3, so I think we can all hope that won't happen.

"And that triple-clicking does nothing (typical - at least in windows - triple clicking behavior is 'select all' when double clicking selects a word)."

Works for me.

"I'm wondering if there is any way to make Mozilla behave the way it used to as I've described (perhaps with a user.js line or something)."

I think there is.

Triple-clicking should be selecting the whole url...

But in any case, user_pref("layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation", false); will do what you want.

just clicking once selects the whole url for me. running win2k

Pressing CTRL L is alot more convenient and does the same thing without the single/double or triplie clicking.

Since I've just switched from Netscape 7.02 to Mozilla 1.3 I don't know if this is changed behaviour in Mozilla. But in the composer I now have to tripple click rather than double click text that contains "\" to select the whole thing. I for one don't like it.

Search http://www.mozilla.org for the key word "Midas" (omit quotes) and you will find something. Among them Midas Demo: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo.

Check out sitemason.com, we have full support for Midas editing in our Page Builder tool. There's a press release about it on our press page:

So what is the fix. I can't install themes or anything. Which is total crap! It is nice to see that the Mac OS X version of 1.3 now has the Apple way of doing programs instead of a folder with everything in it.

No 1.3 Xft builds means I stay with 1.2.1. Kind of a shame. Perhaps I'll put some together. Assuming nothing's broken..

In fact, this is bug 196959 (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196959)

Its very doubtful that Netscape will be based on 1.3. They never released a Netscape based on 1.1 or 1.2.1, so I'd expect 1.3 to be ignored as well. There are multiple bug fixes and security enhancements from 1.1+ that have been used in 1.0x (which is the base for Netscape 7.0x), but the meat of features added to Mozilla since 1.1 will not show up in Netscape any time soon.

I expect that once 1.5 (or perhaps 1.6) is released, Netscape will release a new Netscape 8 project based on the new Mozilla. It is also possible that this new Mozilla will get the name Mozilla 2.0 and things will mirror how they were done with Mozilla 1.0x and Netscape 7. Of course, this is purely conjecture so don't chastize me if I'm wrong.

I figured out the problem. Some how, Mozilla Mail was using an incorrectly stored username and password and it must have tried to authenticate that against the mail server several times until it gave up. I deleted it using the Password Manager and now everything works fine.

The "Imported IE Favorites" is actually just a pointer to "X:\Documents and Settings\_login_\Favorites\" or whereever it is that your system places you defalut Favorites. So, if you keep your in a custom place, Moz might not be picking that up.

Bug 176715 causes IE Favorites not to be imported.

Great. Is there a similar rule for the Stop and Next buttons in MailNews? I used to use these alot (Stop is particularly useful when you are deleting a piece of HTML spam over IMAP, something I do far too often).

Thank you very much for your response Frank. For some reasons it did not work for me. I found files userChrome-example.css and userContent-example.css. I saved them as userChrome.css and userContent.css in my MozillaProfiles\[...]\US\chrome directory. Put the additions you suggested, restart Mozilla but nothing happened. Could you please advice me what I mosed.

Just put an image called mozilla.bmp in your main mozilla directory. There is also a comand line option to stop the splashscreen totally, I think it was --disable-splash

http://www.lemnet.com/mozilla/ is a good place to start looking for alternative splashscreens, but please don't email me any more - the drivers will commission a new splashscreen when they want to and are unlikely to use one randomly submitted.

Just place an empty image file, named "mozilla.bmp" in your \mozilla\ directory if you are using windows.

http://www.lotekk.net/index.php?page=moz&sub=splashrank

...is a good place to find new splash screens, if you just want a better looking splash screen instead of none at all.

I also agree, version 1.3 is working out excellent for me. I have been using/testing Mozilla since 0.92 came out and is sure has come a long way. When I work on a computer that only has IE 5,6 and I don't have admin. privledges I get annoyed that I can't browse the web with Mozilla. Tab browsing, type ahead find, precise javascript controls such as killing popups, overriding CSS on sites I hate, disabling flash with custom settings.... the list goes on and on. Things are slowling changing. Most of the developer friends I know have switched to Mozilla at least 50% of the time.

% mozilla -debug LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: GetGlobalServiceManager__16nsServiceManagerPP17nsIServiceManager]

Yes, but as someone else noted in this thread, the release notes do tell you what to do.

Note here - you have to download and install the full JRE or SDK from Blackdown - just unpacking and copying the Java Plugin .so file from Blackdown into Sun's release won't do the trick (yes, I tried that).

Of course, you probably already know the "soft-link trick" you have to do (this assumes you installed Blackdown into /usr/java/j2re1.4.1) - all on one line:

ln -s -f /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

It's quite annoying that Sun's Java no longer works with the current stable release of Mozilla - let's hope the release notes are true and they'll release a version that does indeed work with it.

BTW, it was the first time I'd actually downloaded a Blackdown release and they have the same sort of license agreement shell wrapper around the software that Sun's release does.

One final note - is it just me or is activating Java in Mozilla a lot harder than it should be ? :-)

Is there a pref to turn the grippy off? I wouldn't mind them except for the fact that all the grippy's look the same so if more than one toolbar is collapsed, you don't know which is which...making them almost worthless.

just get multizilla from mozdev and you'll experience tabbed browsing like never before

sorry for the dublicate

Yes it is possible to suppress this. Find the directory <somtheing.slt> in your mozilla application folder. There should be a file called prefs.js there. Create a new file called user.js there and paste the following code into user.js and restart mozilla: user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.onunload", "noAccess");
