the alt+d defect is still there. Goes to the address bar instead of adding bookmark. But the rest of the browser is very stable!

edmundf, I reread your postings and it appears you are trying to edit the bookmarks file manually, outside the "organize bookmarks" window. I believe Firefox uses some special tags in the file to determine how bookmarks are displayed. The file itself (when opened in an editor) even says "
<!-- This is an automatically generated file.
It will be read and overwritten.
DO NOT EDIT! -->"
Right at the top. In testing, I have been able to create bookmarks, open the "organize bookmarks" window and drag them into the order I want. Then I opened the Bookmarks dropdown and verified the order is what I set. I then exited Firefox and restarted; the bookmarks were in the order I wanted.
You WILL run into trouble if you let a "bleeding edge" version of firefox overwrite your Firefox 2.0 profile. Mozilla is making very major changes to bookmarks in the next release of firefox. They are moving from an html-based structure to a SQLite database structure for holding bookmarks and history to allow more sophisitcated queries.

I downloaded and installed each of the 3 versions and in every case, the search window (upper right) had all default searches present (Google, Yahoo, Amazon.com, Answers.com, Creative Commons and Ebay). Is this what you mean by "no search engines available"? Or something else?

Just wondering why there are no search engines with this build since you can't download the google engine since it is supposed to be stock to Firefox.

I was just curious if any other Gmail users are able to use it with this Firefox. I just downloaded the latest and I still cannot send emails from Gmail. I can log in and read my email but saving drafts or sending messages does not work.
Are there any workarounds for this?
Otherwise great work on porting this (very big and complicated) app.

Bookmarks cannot be sorted.
I deleted all firefox and mozilla files, installed
the latest firefox, made brand new bookmarks.
Then I tried to sort these bookmarks, perfect!
BUT ......... when I open bookmarks in Firefox
they are still random.
The sorting only works in under the "organize bookmarks"
Even the mozilla firefox bookmarks that comes with the
install are random, I have from the top down:

I am not able to duplicate this problem here. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you start Firefox from a terminal with the --profilemanager option and create a new profile.
I also saw a post from you in the Bleeding Edge talkback. I have had problems with mixing Firefox 2 and Minefield profiles; I suggest you keep separate profiles for each if you use both. Minefield (Bleeding Edge) makes significant changes to bookmark storage and functions and can cause problems with Firefox 2.

Bookmarks is still a mess.
No matter what I sorted in the organize bookmarks
option. When I close it and open the Bookmarks in the
header, it is still random. I think this is the case
in all firefox and mozilla versions.
Maybe when I put all bookmarks in again one by one?
But that is not what I am looking for.

Edmund, there was a bug in the 2.0 release code that caused the browser to crash when trying to organize bookmarks using drag and drop. Not sure if this is the exact cause of your problem, but you should now be able to use bookmarks/organize bookmarks to drag and drop items in the order you'd like.

OK here's my problem, I have a lot of bookmarks
and I copied and saved this in a seperate folder.
Now I deleted all my previous FF folders and settings
and installed the latest stable one.
Then I copied the bookmarks to /boot/home /config/settings/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/XXXXX.default
Seems OK but these bookmarks are only partly sorted because previous FF version refused to sort these bookmarks. Now opening Bookmarks in the tab shows these bookmarks unsorted. Organize Bookmarks sort all
perfect but after done that and opening Bookmarks in the tab again shows the bookmarks the way it was before.
Is this weird behavior because the bookmark file is an HTML file or what can I do about it?
I just downloaded this version but it seems more responsive then the older version
Or maybe I just like to see that :-)
Thank for working on it guys!

can you provide exact details on the steps that caused you to lose the html file on your disk? I (and others on the bezilla team) have been using this version for a couple of weeks without seeing such a problem. we need to try to reproduce. You can contact me by email if you prefer.

Following the instructions outlined in Firefox-bleeding edge page (http://www.bebits.com/app/2715), to get the application "firefox-bin" to actually work, you need to modify/create the UserSetupEnvironment file in /boot/home/config/boot/UserSetupEnvironment and append/add the following enviromental variables:
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=%A/.
export LIBRARY_PATH=%A/.:%A/components:$LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBPATH:%A/plugins
export ADDON_PATH=%A/.:%A/components:$ADDON_PATH
After this, you will be able to use BonEcho as a native BeOS app, with full file based mime support. It probably wasn't caught in testing since all developers have the correct environment settings.
However, ALT-W to close the last window will not automatically quit Firefox, like it did in previous versions.

I had trouble getting the app to behave like a native BeOS (Zeta 1.2) app. Ie. it would be nice if you can select a file, right click, open with firefox. However, the firefox-bin executable has pathing issues with Zeta, while the firefox shell script works OK. However, the script does not allow firefox to behave like a native beos app (ie. drag a file over the icon). I accidently dragged my html file into the firefox directory.
Sorry for the short term panic, everyone. Drinks on me.

I think I'd rather stay off the bleeding edge for now, so I'm still using the 1.5 stable release, but the thing is still freezing at the most awkward moments (after an hour of working through booking a flight online and finally entering my card details, it died!).
I've tried all the suggestions from the feedback below (is an MTU of 1442 some magic number, or should I try even smaller? Why?). It seems to be forms that cause it problems. I can spend ages just browsing without problem. And it may be just particular sites that are deadly.
As it becomes harder and harder to do anything without Javascript, it'd be nice to have Firefox lockup-free! (:-))

Have you try :

Your page mentions "Firefox", thats using the name to identify your release.
I officially declare you a sad, lonely 16 year old who eventually realised the only way he could 'hack' BeOS was by convinving people to use his compromised web browser. And I notice you haven't denied this yet, because its extremely clear to see for anyone who just takes a look at the security settings in QuickFox.

You can use the netserver version on most platforms, but the network code for it is forced to a lot of restrictions due to the problems in netserver. For instance it will never allow more than 32 connections.
There is very little Firefox developement done for BeOS since the summer because there isn't enough active developers. Bugs that arn't part of just surfing the net gets almost no attention at all. Real life does that to people who work in their spare time.

Hadn't updated Firefox in a while, but this is a great improvement. Page loading and scrolling is snappy -- nearly as good as Net+ now.
Printing still doesn't work, which is a drawback, but it's nice to be able to access sites that baffle Net+.
One consistent crash, if you try the "Import..." menu item (I realize it's probably irrelevant to BeOS, but it shouldn't crash!).
Minor whine: the Firefox icon seems to be totally missing from the zip archive -- had to grab it from an earlier version.
I assume this version detects BONE automatically? It came up without problem on my machine.

...are you so negative in almost every post on BeBits? All you seem to do is complain. The BeZilla team has been working very hard, for years, to bring us the latest and greatest Mozilla/Firefox browser[s]. Years longer than you have even been USING BeOS, seeing how you have recently "discovered" it.
You sound like a kid or something. If you encounter bugs, report them and let them work on it. If you have a solution or work-around, offer it.
Apparently your mother never said this to you:
"If you have nothing nice (or in this case constructive) to say, don't say anything at all!"

the only thing that seems to be more stable is that it can handle secure sites better without freezing (from version 1.6a1 I use with QF 2.2)
and how can it be 'so' stable, when it crashes when you go File>Import... ?
just try it and find out, everyone.

I've just installed Firefox 1.5. It crashes when I try to open two or more links in tabs from http://www.independent.co.uk/ . I've been having similar problems with the 1.5 betas, usually when I'm opening lots of Ebay tabs with www.ezsniper.com open. The crashes are not always soft ones, either- they frequently seize up the whole OS (Zeta 1.1) forcing me to re-boot.

Back up your ~/config/settings/Mozilla/Firefox dir. Then remove ~/config/settings/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[xxx]/compreg.dat
Or maybe remove your ~/config/settings/Mozilla/Firefox dir completly. I think it's your settings that have been messed up, it happens sometimes when switching versions. Especially from old ones.

Hi, I just tried the new SeaMonkey. Hotmail accounts work there. It seems to be faster on resizing the window, too.
Well, guess there is still hope for hotmail on FireFox. Until than I'm afraid I'll have to use SeaMonkey :-(

I didn't mean HTML, as markup language, what i meant was
protocol, HTTP or HTTPS - method of get and put data between client and server.
There was some bugs complained already about BONE + Mozilla browser working with just MS products, using secure HTTP protocol, like MS-proxies. Aks MYOB at BeShare, for example.
But it might be more generic case. "Extend and embrace", you know.

Isn't Hotmail managed by Microsoft?
If so, who knows what happens.
For example, they had tendency to use ancient HTTP protocol for MS sites - 1.0 instead 1.1 which is default for Mozilla browsers nowaday.

Hi, thanks for the answer :-)
The downloadserver from the "BleedingEdge" page isn't available, I'll try that later.
I did use the BleedingEdge Builds before, but I'm pretty sure the last one I tried from there had the same problem.
On a "DeerPark Beta2", version 1.6a1, I have the same problem. (I have that one installed too)
Could it be a problem that I have more than one version of Firefox or Mozilla on my system? (not sure if they mix up each others configuration)
bye,

Try Firefox from "Bleeding Edge" page, to see if it suffers from same problem.
It is possible that you tried before builds from 1.6 trunk which is used by "Bleeding Edge builds, while this
one uses OLDER 1.5 branch sourcebase, inspite it may be published later than builds you used before.
