2005-10-07 Trunk builds
Trunk builds of Firefox use the version number 1.6a1, which prevents most existing extensions from working. You can work around this by setting app.extensions.version in about:config to 1.0+ or by using the "Make compatible" feature of the Nightly Tester Tools extension. Some extensions are actually incompatible, so be prepared to use -safe-mode if installing an extension this way breaks Firefox.
If you use a trunk build with your branch profile, your extensions will be disabled and you'll have to re-enable them if you return to the branch. If you want to use different profiles on the trunk and branch, you can make Firefox bring up the profile manager with "firefox.exe -P", and you can make Firefox use a specific profile with "firefox.exe -P profilename".
There have been hundreds of fixes since the previous Burning Edge trunk post. Here are some of the most exciting fixes that weren't listed in posts about branch checkins.
Fixes:
- Fixed: 243078 - [Windows] Native Theme Rendering for Windows XP Menus, toolbars. (Firefox menus should now look correct under Win XP Luna, Classic, and other themes, instead of just Luna.)
- Fixed: Update to cairo 1.1.1.
- Fixed: Add support for displaying everything using cairo (not built by default yet) (read more).
- Fixed: 141656 - Transparent image pixels print white instead of background color of parent element.
- Fixed: 291060 - Table cells containing empty blocks have the wrong baseline.
- Fixed: 27382 - OwnerDocument of orphan text and attr nodes is null.
- Fixed: 283719 - "Add keyword for this Search..." can fail if a form uses a fieldset (example: bugzilla advanced query, "e.type is not defined").
- Fixed (?): 196438 - Close tab button should not be on top of right-most tab at overflow.
- Fixed: 291099 - Using keyboard to navigate through context menus of menu items (e.g. bookmarks) skips every other item.
- Fixed: 258875 - Malicious web pages can steal local files, with borderline-normal user interaction, if they know the filename. The fix was to make the filename part of the file upload control read-only and force the use of a file picker dialog (like in Safari).
- Fixed: 99224 - document.lastModified should be localized.
- Fixed: 193316 - Caret, and thus focus, not visible in readonly text field.
- Fixed: 268171 - Typeahead find handles but doesn't consume the keypress, confusing GTK and making menus open when they shouldn't.
Trunk regressions:
- Since Oct 5: 311234 - Clicking 'Done' after customize toolbars exits Firefox.
- Since Sept 22: 309521 - Plugin finder is broken.
- Since Sept 22: 309706 - Stack overflow crash [@ jpinscp.dll + 0xaa87].
