saw this posted on mozilla main page:
mozilla 1.7.5 coming mid december

personally i'm more excited about this than firefox 1.0, and i know a few other people feels the same way -)
as quoted from this thread:

Now if we could just get rid of that ugly stepchild(firefox) I'd be really happy.... 🙂-D

,D

btw, whatever happens to 1.7.4? is it missing has to do with the way CVS does the numbering?
i'm guessing not, since we did have 1.7.2 for a while back then ...
 
Wierd, why so many Moz 1.8 alpha releases too? Is Moz 1.7.5 going to be 1.7.x, with most of the Firefox recent fixes merged back in?
 
hey, make mozilla's layout cusomizable like FF and give me a global inbox and in it mail client and i will switch.

What firefox "recent fixes"? Mozilla 1.8 is having so many alpha releases because not enough users are downloading them... the developers don't want to release a beta until the stuff added to the alphas has gotten enough testing that they're satisfied that nothing major is broken.

I'm working (slowly) on some UI changes for mozilla... mozilla's UI just isn't high-priority for a lot of people. I don't know what a global inbox is 😉.
 
I only used fox for a while, a long time ago...
So what is this customizable layout on FF? is it something like you can choose what button to add or delete on the toolbar?

global inbox - all email to different address go into one account? instead of creating multiple local accounts for multiple email addresses?

The same "recent fixes" that were added to the Firefox Aviary Branch builds, that are being integrated into the FF trunk builds right now as part of the post-1.0 release process, as I understand it. (I'm not a dev, but this is what I read that the plan was on MozillaZine's forums.) I assume that whatever fixes are being added to FF's trunk, will also make it to the Mozilla/SeaMonkey trunk too, if they are relevant (non FF-specific).

"Global Inbox" = multiple e-mail accounts, under a single UI/user-identity.

One thing that a lot of people (myself included) would love to see, would be dockable/movable toolbars akin to MS's "coolbars" that they added to like IE5, I think.

That would allow moving the "FAYT" toolbar to the top of the view, or possibly undocking it to turn it into a floating window instead. (I personally prefer that option as well.)

Thanks. 🙂

Btw, is the issue with those "registry.dat" files conflicting between Firefox and Mozilla, preventing one from being able to install them both on the same machine, more of a technical issue, or a political issue between the factions on the dev team? It's quite annoying that hasn't been fixed yet. (AFAIK - has it?)

Because it's broken on platform. Again.

I'm told mozilla does have it. It might only be in 1.8 though.

I wouldn't mind that either.

That bar is *such* an ugly hack. I'm porting it over to Mozilla, and a lot is getting rewritten. Anyway, you could move the FAYT toolbar with an extension, but I'm not a Firefox user, and presently Mozilla doesn't even have the bar, so I'm not going to write that any time soon 😉.

No idea what you're talking about. I run firefox and mozilla side-by-side, as do lots of developers.

n0cmonkey - what platform?

OpenBSD, duh. 😉

From what I've read on the mailing lists the problem is the number of platforms. They could update to the latest (or close) on i386, but some of the other platforms would be broken. Currently 1.6 is working on 6 (alpha, i386, sparc, sparc64, amd64, and powerpc) of the 14 or so architectures, and porting 1.7 has been enough of a PITA that it would restrict that even more.

I'm starting to think they could do a stable and snapshot version of the port though, and mark the snapshot as broken on most architectures until it can be fixed. Maybe the upgrade to gcc 3 on powerpc will help, I'm not sure. If I ever get around to it, I might give it a shot. But that would require a bit of work to get OpenBSD on the iBook. 😛

I'm sure. I'm definitely not against having an option for it. I use thunderbird anyhow. 😛

Oh, ok, I guess it has been fixed. My bad.
The comment at the end of the bug here indicates that Firefox no longer stores its profile info into the netscape registry, which is '%APPDATA%\Mozilla\registry.dat' I believe. There was a time when you couldn't run Mozilla and Firefox on the same Windows installation, without having your profile information semi-scrambled, because one app would overwrite the other's copy of that file, or something like that. I'll have to try and track down which version of FF this changed with.
Edit: Apparently this issue affects Mozilla-Netscape compatibility as well. See comment near the end: link
