2004-10-27 Branch Builds (RC1)

  • Fixed: 266221 - Profile migration is broken (since Oct 26 late).
  • Since Oct 26: 263844 - Window.close() not working on new windows opened into tabs.

This is a fake release candidate: it was made knowing that it would not be identical to 1.0 (and not just in the version number). The remaining 1.0 blockers are not very exciting. They are mostly version number changes, obscure crashes, and localization changes.

Because of the fix for bug 266221, these builds will not automatically update when Firefox 1.0 comes out. If you install 1.0 RC1 for friends, be sure to tell them to upgrade when 1.0 comes out, in case there are security fixes between now and Firefox 1.0.

More about RC1: Mozillazine, Asa's blog, Unofficial changelog.

  • Fixed: 265532 - Missing Plugin placeholders missing from various pages.
  • Fixed: 265790 - Security: "Force links ... to open in a new tab" can let a tab close the whole browser window.
  • Fixed: Change internal version number to 0.11 so update system will be able to tell RC1 users to upgrade to 1.0 when 1.0 comes out.
  • Fixed: Change UA version number to 1.0RC1.
  • Since Oct 26 late: 266221 - Profile migration is broken.
  • Since Oct 26: 263844 - Window.close() not working on new windows opened into tabs.

These builds are almost release candidates, but they need a fix for bug 266221 first.

2004-10-04 Branch builds

  • Fixed: 258767 - Shift+Delete to remove autocomplete results crashes Firefox (since Sept 15). (Fixed at 11AM, before the official Windows builds but after the official Mac and Linux builds.)
  • Fixed: Divert featureless window.open calls to tabs.
  • Fixed: 248432 - Unable to uninstall extensions which have not finished downloading.
  • Fixed: 254662 - "Don't exit" dialog boxes exits anyway.
  • Fixed: 252182 - Extensions are not correctly re-enabled after -safe-mode.
  • Fixed: 247884 - Upgrading doesn't remove the old entry from Add Remove Programs - Windows.
  • Fixed: 258892 - When changing themes, Firefox reverts to uninstalled theme if you fail to select a new theme.
  • Fixed: 242393 - Topcrash: After dowloading page [@ nsHttpChannel::OnDataAvailable ].

If you select "Force links that open new windows to open in: a new tab", Firefox diverts links with target="_blank". It also diverts JavaScript window.open() calls, but only calls that don't specify window features (e.g. size and which toolbars are displayed). Most calls to window.open() specify the size of the window. You can change this by setting the browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction pref in about:config.

  • 0: divert window.open() (what I use)
  • 1: don't divert window.open()
  • 2: divert window.open() without features (default)
