Comments on: 2004-12-25 Trunk builds http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2004/12/25/2004-12-25-trunk-builds/ Developments in nightly builds of Mozilla Firefox Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:32:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Hank Roberts http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/2004/12/25/2004-12-25-trunk-builds/#comment-2030 Hank Roberts Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/?p=449#comment-2030 This comment is for the next thread, for 1226. So far today, for the 1226 OSX build, there's a 3k gz file --- just an empty folder, so far today. I've been getting consistent crashes of the OSX Console whenever I try doing anything with the OSX 1225 nightly Extensions menu, today. FF doesn't always crash, and never produces a Talkback when it does, so I think it's time to go pet the cat. This comment is for the next thread, for 1226.

Would Firefox be troubled by this? I've noticed it's having trouble finding plugins a lot the last few days. I'm inclined to think that once again OSX is looking at the extension, instead of the MIME type, to show ME what it wants me to think the file is all about -- but behind the curtain, I dunno. (Graphic Converter handles a great many file types looking at the extension, including .PDB (used by Palm HotSync). Not sure this is a problem, just puzzled to notice it.
