Firefox 0.9.1 is coming

Ben Goodger has announced that there will be a 0.9.1 bugfix release. It will fix several theme/extension manager bugs and include an updated version of Winstripe that isn't on the trunk yet.

There is a 0.9.1 mini-branch off of the Aviary branch at the point of the 0.9 release. 0.9.1 branch checkins. Thunderbird 0.7.1 will be released from the same mini-branch.

2004-06-24 Trunk builds

Fixes for regressions:

  • Fixed: 246923 - links in nested frames fail if same-origin check fails.

Fixes for other bugs:

  • Fixed: 247322 - Able to install incompatible extensions, causing subsequent startup woes.
  • Fixed: 245734 - Able to install extension into wrong application.
  • Fixed: 246719 - Make link modifiers work consistently throughout Firefox.
  • Fixed: Make middlemouse.contentLoadURL work on Windows.

You can now use link modifiers in many places in the browser UI, such as the back button and Go menu items. Shift opens a new window, Ctrl or Middle opens a new tab, and Alt saves. Ctrl+clicking or middle+clicking a UI link selects the new tab (since you're unlikely to continue reading the current tab after opening a URL from the UI), but you can make it leave the current tab selected by holding Shift or by setting the hidden pref browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true.

Regressions:

  • Since ~June 10: 246168 - [Linux] '-remote "openURL(<url>, new-tab)"' no longer works
  • Since ~June 2: 245327 - theme switch clears all tabs, disables their history, can't close these tabs.
  • Since May or June: 246687, 246658, 248013 - Firefox startup gets stuck at "Finishing Extension Installation" for various reasons. (Workaround: run "firefox.exe -no-extensions" and disable the extension responsible, or delete the extensions subdirectory of your profile.)
