The Burning Edge

I'm thinking of moving The Burning Edge to the aviary branch.

Trunk advantages:

• Will become Firefox 2.0 in the future.
• Has a fix for config.trim_on_minimize (248423).
• Has a fix for Slashdot rendering (217527).

Branch advantages:

• Will become Firefox 1.0 and all Firefox 1.x releases, so it's more important to test in the short term.
• Find Toolbar.
• Live Bookmarks (in tomorrow's builds).
• Has fixes for some toolbar customization bugs (232707, 221482).
• Has a working extension manager.

Blake checked in the new Find Toolbar on the aviary branch (aviary branch builds). To open the Find toolbar, press Ctrl+F. Typing text into the Find toolbar automatically selects the first result as you type (in green), and it has an option to highlight all instances (in yellow). The Find Toolbar replaces the Find dialog (previously Ctrl+F), the old "Find as you type" feature, and the "Find in this page" option in the search bar.

Keyboard controls:

• Ctrl+F or / opens the toolbar.
• Esc closes the toolbar.
• Enter finds the next match. (Also F3, Ctrl+G.)
• Shift+Enter finds the previous match. (Also Shift+F3, Ctrl+Shift+G.)

There is also a "links-only" mode, which is intended to make it possible to follow links using only the keyboard:

• ' (single-quote) opens the toolbar in links-only mode.
• In links-only mode, Enter follows the found link because the link has focus.

FAQ:

<luser> so much for 0.9 being feature complete ;-)
<blake> typeaheadfind is too cool of a feature to hide it for 1.0
<luser> i'd just hate to see 1.0 get rushed without proper testing
<blake> we'll do 1.0 right

Blake's checkin comment:

Find Toolbar landing. This is a work in progress but I want to get testing going. Known bugs: not currently working properly with text in textboxes, and highlight erases find selection.

Some known bugs in the Find Toolbar.

• Fixed: 248423 - config.trim_on_minimize no longer works (since May 18).
• Fixed: 246687 - Firefox gets stuck at Finishing Extension Installation if the same extension is installed with /some/ changes.

The checkin for bug 248423 (config.trim_on_minimize no longer works) was at 9:41 AM PDT and I think the official Windows build starts at 10:00 AM, so I think the fix made it into today's Windows build.

• Since ~June 2: 134260 - theme switch clears all tabs, disables their history, can't close these tabs.
