2004-10-26 Branch late builds

  • Fixed: 265532 - Missing Plugin placeholders missing from various pages.
  • Fixed: 265790 - Security: "Force links ... to open in a new tab" can let a tab close the whole browser window.
  • Fixed: Change internal version number to 0.11 so update system will be able to tell RC1 users to upgrade to 1.0 when 1.0 comes out.
  • Fixed: Change UA version number to 1.0RC1.
  • Since Oct 26 late: 266221 - Profile migration is broken.
  • Since Oct 26: 263844 - Window.close() not working on new windows opened into tabs.

These builds are almost release candidates, but they need a fix for bug 266221 first.

Windows builds: Official Windows, Official Windows installer

Linux builds: Official Linux, Official Linux installer

Mac builds: Official Mac

    ‘Help -> About Mozilla Firefox’ says ‘0.11 RC1’.

    I have the impression that the developers are more and more tempted to fix some bugs with band-aids in order to meet *their* deadline, rather than correctly fixing them. I fear that they are setting some time bombs for Firefox 2.0 .

    I have seen nothing to indicate this.

    Are you referring to anything in particular, or just a gut feeling?

    As for the help screen, that only means they checked in the change to the version number, not that it officially is that version.

    “I have the impression that the developers are more and more tempted to fix some bugs with band-aids in order to meet *their* deadline, rather than correctly fixing them. I fear that they are setting some time bombs for Firefox 2.0 .”

    i always thought that each major upgrade such as version 2 and above would be cut from trunk. i.e. the branch build that leads into 1.0 now would only be used for the development of 1.x builds.

    I bet 263844 is a result of that security tab spoof checkin.

    OSX build for 10/27 doesn’t unpack for me (I’ve downloaded five times since about 3:30 am Pacific time — no, I’m not a FF addict, I’m a Saturn addict). One other person has reported the same problem in official forums. Anyone get it working?

    10/27 OSX build isn’t recognized by Stuffit Expander, nor by
    gunzip: /Users/hank/Desktop/firefox-1.0.en-US.mac.dmg.gz: not in gzip format

    The problems with printing a pdf files has been around for a while, at least for me (since at least PR was released). The printer tray icon will appear but nothing will actually print.

    Using the same document in IE works.
