I've been running the 5/16 NetServer build since it was released. I have not experienced the "Tools/Options/Privacy" crash (mine works fine). And the 1st thing I did after installing was to load the BeOS/yT theme. If you read down the talkback, you can see I embarrassed myself once by not completely deleting the old version before installing the new. I strongly suggest you scour your system for anything related to Firefox or Phoenix and delete before installing the new version. I now save a copy only of my bookmarks file. Once the new version is installed and verified as working, I copy my old bookmarks over the new ones.

I asked the same question... I tried to find out where the config for themes was to even add them manually but a grep of my old install showed nothing to note what keeps track of the installed themes. I have the themes in the propper place as I looked in the last version for where it placed the installed themes but the new build refuses to use the install page or give any hint of being functional with themes. Guess we have to wait till it's fixed.

I have been deleting: /boot/home/config/settings/Firefox/Profiles/default/(whatever randomly created set of characters is there, there is only one on mine)/Cache

and that works fine.

Double native windows

Yes, it does that. Note that this is a 'proof of concept' feature of opening of windows. As such there are still issues.

The reason it opens two windows is that Mozilla has it's own path for opening the first window, my attempts so far to convince it to open the right page has not been successful.

Using the latest Firefox in PhOS, I made firefox the preferred application for text html files using FileType. When I open an html file, firefox opens, which is great, it just opens two windows, one with my home page, and one with the html file. Any idea?

When trying to access the Net through a Microsoft proxy (with some bizarro authentification), Firefox (latest 0.8 Zeta) doesn't go through while Mozilla does. But geez, Firefox on local files feels fast.

Has anyone been able to get either themes or extensions to work with the FireFox (bone) BeOS-native release? I've tried to install themes using the themes web page and tried to install the Themer extension, but so far nothing works.

FireFox crashed after I click on the Tool/Option.
Not the "Privacy" Panel of the Options. The Option Panel itself causes a crash!
Any Idea what this can be?

Sorry, I don't understand. Bezilla produces builds for BeOS - BeOS R5 uses a network stack called net_server, Be were working on a much improved replacement for this - BONE - which is used in dano and Zeta.

I don't know what regular versions you're refering to.

If you want builds that run straight off on BeOS R5 Pro, PE, BeOS MAX edition, or Developer Edition, then you need the "net_server" builds.

Is Bezilla.org's plan to only update BONE/Netserver versions of Mozilla and Firefox in the future, or will the regular versions be kept up to date as well? I'm only asking to figure out if I NEED to get ahold of BONE and/or Netserver.

You can add buttons in the toolbar via "Add Bookmark", then in "Create in" menu select "Bookmark toolbar folder". At least with FireFox.

I saw somewhere that there was a way to do this in a config file somewhere.

Nice job. Mozilla feels faster, not quite on par with Firefox but not that far. One thing i dislike is the splashscreen, but that's a personal preference.

When can we expect such a Firefox build?

There is special separate entry for JustBrowser already reserved in our dev-centeral page. Resubmit your entry there and make it visible.

I will go to restore original full Mozilla/BONE

Here is wrong place to ask for such feature, i suspect.
Download manager is mostly XUL application/component.
We use generic for all *nix platforms version.

Hi!
As you can read in my former comments, I am really satisfied with using Mozilla.
But one thing I have again ;-) :
If a download is running and you have closed all browser-windows, you have to wait until the download is finished to get a new browser-window (start Mozilla new).
If I have done like that, I open the Firefox to browse again (like I do right now, while downloading per Mozilla). It's no real big problem, but it would be nice to have the possibility to open a new browser-window from the download-window, like in NetPositive.

Mozilla and Firefox is result of real good work!
Friendly greetings

Yes, i'm planning to do another netserver build next weekend.

Saved Password problems on Netserver build

on 0409 Netserver build, tools/options/privacy/saved passwords "clear" does not clear passwords. "view stored passwords" doesn't seem to work, either. I've tried reinstalling, no luck.

Also, window size and positions are not saved between runs - it always opens in exactly the same size and position on the screen.

Francois, is there anything I can do to help? Is there another netserver build coming soon?

Am I the only one having problems installing extensions in the latest firefox for bone? It just gives me the option to open or save the file. But there's no way that I can open it by choosing mozilla in "open with" right? And I checked about:config and xpinstall is enabled. Which leaves me clueless.

Better and better!

You guys are awesome. I was just about to report a couple of bugs I found, but when I went to the BeBits page to get your email addresses, I instead found a new version that had every one of them already addressed and fixed. Keep up the good work folks!
