The Burning Edge

Fixes:

• Fixed: 366797 - Revise the Location Bar (highlight hostname*, decode URLs, add overflow ellipsis & tooltip).
• Fixed: 105909 - Address bar should show path/query %-unescaped so non-ASCII URLs are readable.
• Fixed: 74880 - Lose indentation of RTL blockquote (nested RTL lists are fixed). (Implement and use -moz-border-*-start and -moz-border-*-end.)
• Fixed: 253851 - Page loading "done" before CSS background images have downloaded.
• Fixed: 279703 - Need to redesign how XUL popups work. (Rework XUL popups to use asynchronous opening, plus many other fixes.)
• Fixed: 386981 - Make all chrome tooltips wrap instead of cropping.

Fixes:

• Fixed: 367177 - Turn on nsTextFrameThebes (aka "new textframe").
• Fixed: 240914 - "text-align: justify" ruins Unicode combining characters.
• Fixed: 60546 - Unicode Hebrew/Yiddish Diacritics do not correctly align in some fonts.

• Fixed: 369075 - Add permanent button for restarting Firefox to Add-ons Manager.
• Fixed: 342810 - [Windows] Leak of nsRunnable (huge leak on some Flash sites since Thread Manager landing).
• Fixed: 380540 - [Linux] Breakpad crash reporter client for Linux.
• Fixed: 377478 - Implement a way to get the toggled keyboard states (e.g., Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock).
• Fixed: 378547 - Implement site-specific preference service.
• Fixed: 385396 - Go back to vanilla sqlite files.

nsTextFrameThebes was turned on in bug 367177, but most of the work took place in bug 333659 and other bugs. In addition to fixing a bunch of bugs, it paves the way for adding support for features such as soft hyphens.

There are several regressions from the nsTextFrameThebes landing, but I don't know which ones are most annoying to trunk nightly users, so I'm only listing one below for now.

Trunk regressions:

• Since June 21: 384836 - Hangs due to new textframe.

I think these builds are the nightly-build equivalent of the soon-to-be-released Firefox 3 Alpha 5. (Firefox 3 alpha builds have "Gran Paradiso" branding, while nightlies have "Minefield" branding. "Gran Paradiso" is the development name for Firefox 3.)

Fixes:

• Fixed: 381099 - Turn on Breakpad crash reporter on Windows and Mac.
• Fixed: 345950 - Add a hidden pref, browser.tabs.tabMaxWidth (e.g. so tabs don't change size while you're trying to close multiple tabs).
• Fixed: 236546 - Newlines not added when copying table cells (in different rows) to clipboard with CTRL+mouse.
• Fixed: 289540 - Download manager takes only one listener.

Breakpad is an open-source replacement for the Talkback crash reporting system. Talkback was closed-source and largely abandoned, making it difficult to fix long-standing problems. Another problem was that Talkback was never ported to Intel Mac. Switching to Breakpad means Firefox 3 will ship without closed-source components and will have crash reporting on all major platforms.

Ted Mielczarek (aka luser), one of the Breakpad developers, provided instructions for looking up crash reports and filing bugs related to the crash reporter. He also explained that Talkback is still enabled for 50% of nightly users on Windows to allow comparison of the two systems.

The breakpad client and server are still rough. The server-side processing of Mac reports is currently busted. Real crash-reporting UI and Linux support are coming soon.

Fixes for recent regressions:

• Fixed: 379729 - Browser will freeze when reloading live bookmarks [partial fix].
• Fixed: 381378 - Export is unacceptably slow for large bookmarks collections.
• Fixed: 380230 - Personal toolbar overflow chevron not updating.
• Fixed: 381896 - History sidebar not sorted properly the first time you open it.

Trunk regressions:

• Since Jan 26, 2006 (FDL): 324819 - Fixed positioned elements now lag/flicker when scrolling.
