Apparently cookies will be fixed for tomorrow’s builds.

Well thats what they get for removing the “Cookies are a delicious delicacy” quote.

Cookies don’t work in sweetlou’s hourly builds either. I can’t log in to Yahoo! Mail or hotmail with the build!

Hopefully tomorrow’s build will be better — good things seem to be happening in bug 246078 as well:

Hehe…that startdde thing that’s been happening since the other day now opens right here to The Burning Edge. It seems you’ve outranked IBM, Jesse. :)

Yep, that was my intention in using the term “StartDDE” in my descritpion of the bug.
July 27th, 2004 at 2:12 am
Hehe, now thats clever! a bug that unintentionally leads to a Page describing the bug….:)

The Mac 20040726 build on mozilla.org doesn’t seem to suffer from this problem. The usual sites — including the Webmail sites noted about — work without incident.

246078 was a big blocker for me, I’ll be downloading tomorrow’s build, although I wouldn’t mind being sent here all the time. :p

A PDF is no longer the first search result in Google for StartDDE.

I’m personally looking forward to Google’s July Zeitgeist. Will “StartDDE” inexplicably show up on the list of most-searched terms?
