The Burning Edge

Fixes:

• Fixed: 323801 - When a word is typed into the address bar, use Google Browse By Name (goes to the first hit if Google thinks there is a clear match, otherwise shows search results) instead of I'm Feeling Lucky (always goes to the first hit). (This is the same as the BBN feature in Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer. It is possible to get this feature in previous versions of Firefox by editing hidden prefs.)
• Fixed: 234770 - Password field names are used instead of username field names to find acceptable signons.
• Fixed: 262575 - "Visit Homepage" and "Get More Extensions/Themes" in Extension and Theme manager should respect tabbed browsing preferences.

• Fixed: 340976 - Firefox should have a larger Icon for Vista.

• Fixed: 335058 - Increase the default for the time we wait (from 5 to 10 seconds) before alerting the user about a possibly infinitely looping script, and give chrome an independent limit (20 seconds).
• Fixed: 241015 - Remote XUL has no accessibility API support.
• Fixed: 330677 - Implement DOM Level 3 adoptNode.
• Fixed: 345666 - node.normalize() doesn't remove empty Text nodes.

Fixes for recent regressions:

• Fixed: 336799 - Remove spellchecking UI from XUL textboxes.
• Fixed: 337845 - Spell checking options should be at the bottom of the context menu.

• Fixed: 345675 - Unwanted connection to www.google.com at startup with Safe Browsing disabled.
• Fixed: 346167 - Windows Media Player plugin stopped working on some web sites, due to Firefox being overeager in blocking the mms: protocol. (This regression also exists in Firefox 1.5.0.5, and it is the reason Mozilla plans to ship a quick Firefox 1.5.0.6.)

• Since VC8/Cairo: 329237 - [Windows] Firefox uninstaller fails.
• Since Cairo: 324707 - Animated GIFs leave trails / don't erase in Cairo.
• Since Cairo: 324560 - Can't see many Unicode characters in Cairo.
