2004-09-10 Branch builds

  • Fixed: Re-add UI for alternate stylesheets, with improvements. The status bar icon now only appears when the page actually has alternate stylesheets. You can now select alternate stylesheets using the keyboard (View > Page Style). The Page Style menu (but not the status bar menu) has a "No Style" option that removes all styles, including ones from style attributes and other HTML attributes. "No Style" persists, but alternate stylesheet selections do not persist unless the site uses JavaScript and cookies to persist them.
  • Fixed: 255654 - Re-add UI for Work Offline.
  • Fixed: 257308 - Visual indicators of site security appear for the wrong site.
  • Fixed: 157354 - Hide user:pass in location bar.
  • Fixed: 253046 - Enable the new default plugin (screenshots again).
  • Fixed: 257405 - [Linux] Use GTK2 native keybindings for input and textarea. This means Firefox no longer uses Emacs keybindings in text fields unless you set an pref in GTK2.
  • Fixed: 258487 - Add (hidden) pref for blocking popups from plugins.
  • Fixed: 255617 - Extension manager: Custom update.rdf ignored at installation of incompatible extension.
  • Fixed: 258123 - Extension manager: Cannot register own JavaScript Component with new interface.
  • Fixed: 258657 - Extension manager: Themes brought over from 0.9 profiles are not being disabled in 1.0.
  • Fixed: 258737 - Extension manager: Upgraded extension does not overlay UI.
  • Fixed: 258694 - Use Ctrl+K for search on all platforms (plus Ctrl+J on Linux, for consistency with 0.9, and Ctrl+E on Windows, for consistency with IE).

  • Fixed: 211023 - Add "Sort by Name" for bookmarks folders.
  • Fixed: 234480 - Bookmarks Manager gets object count (in status bar) wrong.
  • Fixed: 255151 - Open Import wizard instead of file picker when choosing Import in bookmarks.
  • Fixed: 255437 - New set of default bookmarks.
  • Fixed: 255458 - Live bookmark shouldn't use cache.

Bug 258499 (Gmail Invites window incorrectly blocked as an unrequested popup) was WONTFIXed, so I removed it from the regressions list.

Firefox 1.0 Preview Release next week

Ben Goodger:

We're heading into a 1.0Preview Release early-mid next week. We don't have Release Candidates ready yet (maybe by Friday), but do take a look at the latest nightlies if you want to help test.

Draft Release Notes

New classes for aggregator stylesheets

I now wrap Burning Edge posts in <div class="burningedge"> to make it safer to select on Burning Edge classes in RSS aggregator pages. I also added classes for builds on each OS, so people with personal Planets and similar aggregators can hide information about builds for platforms they don't use. Sample CSS files for aggregators: make fix/regression lists look like they do on The Burning Edge, hide non-Windows builds, hide non-Mac builds, hide non-Linux builds.

2004-09-08 Branch builds

  • Fixed: 101190 - Requested popups fail if you click the new-window link or button while the page is loading.
  • Fixed: 252326 - Web page can open unrequested popup by appending a script element (exploited by aol.com).
  • Fixed: 251770 - Add UI pref, "Select new tabs opened from bookmarks or history". (This pref still defaults to true and "Select new tabs opened from links" still defaults to false.)
  • Fixed: 246014 - Chromereg/Extension Manager don't select skins/locales for extensions in some cases. (This might have been why the Delicious Delicacies extension gave XML parsing errors for some users.)
  • Fixed: Change version in UA string from "1.0 PR (NOT FINAL)" to "0.10" to make web pages happier. The About dialog now shows "1.0 Preview Release (NF)" separately from the UA string.
  • Fixed: 217472 - Change History sidebar to open items on single-click rather than double-click to match boomarks.
  • Since September 8: 258499 - Gmail Invites window incorrectly blocked as an unrequested popup.

I've removed some old regressions from this list. They're still present, but they probably won't be fixed by 1.0 PR and they aren't affecting decisions like "Which build from the last week should I get?". As always, you can get a more complete list of regressions by clicking the Fx regressions by votes link in The Burning Edge's sidebar.
