Aviary 1.0.x branch checkins between 2005-09-14 09:17 and 2005-09-15 16:05

These are release candidates for Firefox 1.0.7 and Mozilla Suite 1.7.12. Please help test them so these security updates can be released quickly, or so you can get a reward if you find a regression. Areas most likely to have regressions are proxy autoconfig (PAC), installing extensions, XMLHttpRequest, XBM images, Arabic text shaping, window.open(), IDN, and about: URLs. Another way to help test for regressions is to make sure your webmail, banking, and intranet sites still work, and that the extensions you use still work.

Firefox: Windows, Linux, Mac.

Mozilla suite: Windows, Linux, Mac.

There's another set of Linux builds for the Mozilla Suite, whcih confuses me.

Fixes for regressions caused by security fixes:

OK, I have landed one half of the Aviary Branch. (the browser half). This may cause some difficulty and prblems with the build/nightly build machines. I swear it all built on my machine. I am going to procede with merging the other half tomorrow. Please bear with me.
