Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird and other Gecko-based software discussion (Part 2)

I tried that and it didn't work. I got it back by copying everything in my old default folder and pasting it into the new one. Probably not the best way to do it but I made a backup of the stuff in the new default folder before overwriting it.

strange, worked on linux here. [I accidently clicked cancel during the initial startup and therefore didn't transfer my settings <_<] The migration [or whatever] tool worked perfect in BSD.

 

[funky dredd]

Weird. Didn't work at all for me. I even updated to the 1.3 one just to see if the old one wasn't compatible. I like the speed though. It seems much faster. Now I need to get the calendar for thunderbird and I'll be up to date.

 

[funky dredd]

dang! anyone got the link for the calendar? I'm batting a thousand tonight!

I'm talking about the little wizard thingy that transfers your settings the first time you run 0.9, not the actual backup tool

 

[funky dredd]

hmmm...I didn't get that! I've been robbed! I found the calendar but it's for 6. Anyone know of one for 7?

 

[j79zlr]

Funky, just upgraded Firefox on my XP box, on first execution it asked to import settings from Firefox v0.8. Did you uninstall 0.8 first?

 

[NetRyder]

Yum! Thunderbird 0.7 is out too. Didn't see that one coming.

I hate to say it but I went back to 0.8

0.9 is just being toooo funky. Install an extension and it doesn't do anything. Uninstall and reinstall and nothing. Uninstall the whole browser then reinstall and it's still odd.

I even did in all manually. Frustrating... But I am happy with 0.8 It has never let me down, everything installs the first time... and it works.



I'll wait for 1.0

 

[NetRyder]

Too bad.

I don't use too many extensions, but the ones I've tried have worked fine for me. Hope the issues that a few of you are having get sorted out before 1.0

 

[gonaads]

Yeah, Ya gotta understand that it's still a work in progress and I am fine with that.

I am faithful to my gekko.

 

[NetRyder]

Anyone else notice the funky GIF animations issue in FF 0.9? Lots (but not all, strangely enough) of GIFs animate much faster than they do in any other browser (including 0.8).
It's quite funny actually.

 

[gonaads]

Yeah I did notice it on a couple of instances. But for me, old news now.


Even the forums "manage attachments" window is rendered correctly again.

 

[gonaads]

Well T-Bird 0.7 is quite stable... *Si of relief*

Even installed and using iCandy Jr. theme quite well.

 

[NetRyder]

Good to know...I'm getting ready to install it right now. Just backing up stuff first, to be on the safe side, of course.

EDIT: 0.7 up and running with no noticeable problems so far. Just have to wait for someone to update the Pinstripe theme. Hopefully, someone on Aqua-Soft takes up the task soon.

You mean at real speed? I think you'll find that Opera animates them at the correct speed too.

Yes I did and it never asked me. Weird
Anyone know the link for the calendar that will work in 0.7?

In other news I havn't found any noticeable bugs in Mozilla 1.7RC3 Only feature I can think of right now that it lacks is the warning for "close other tabs" that 1.8a branch has.

Wow, really? Is this supposed to be the actual animation speed?
Haha, it's pretty damn fast.

Yep, if ya download an animated gif and open it in say, Animation Shop. You will see it at full speed. It looks pretty damn fast. Then ya upload it or even open it in yer browser and in looks slower.
