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: 195212 - Reopening multiple Tabs when clicking "Home" and multiple homepages selected.
• Fixed: 344048 - Change default browser.tabs.tabMinWidth again, this time from 60 to 100.
• Fixed: 344736 - Add a keyboard shortcut for Undo Close Tab, Ctrl+Shift+T.
• Fixed: 345260 - Handle dynamic changes to tab title, tab icon and busy (loading) state in all tabs menu.
• Fixed: 342105 - Close button not shown if there is only one tab.
• Fixed: 345407 - Visual refresh for searchbar.
• Fixed: 340677 - Update preferences panels a bit more.
• Fixed: 322169 - Clear Private Data does not clear JS Console.
• Fixed: 234936 - Don't inline spell check URLs.
• Fixed: 339127 - Provide a way for a web page to enable/disable spell checking on a given field.
• Fixed: 340976 - Firefox should have a larger Icon for Vista.
• Fixed: 328563 - Redesign about: (remove licensing info, fix l12y issues etc.).
• Fixed: 316995 - When migrating from Internet Explorer http auth passwords are not migrated.
• Fixed: 345349 - Add notification bar when "Block images from server" is clicked, with an "Undo" button.
• Fixed: 343772 - Popup allowed at cnn.com still blocks popups.
• 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: 344172 - Spellchecker doesn't display suggestion list for misspelled words and doesn't underline them if Russian, Ukrainian or Bulgarian Spell dictionary is installed.
• Fixed: 336799 - Remove spellchecking UI from XUL textboxes.
• Fixed: 337845 - Spell checking options should be at the bottom of the context menu.
• Fixed: 344189 - If browser.search.openintab pref is set to true Firefox opens two identical tabs for each search.
• 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.)

Trunk regressions:

• 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.
• Since Jan 26 (FDL): 325296 - [Mac] Opacity doesn't work in HTML. (Switching to Cairo will fix this bug.)
