Firefox is a life saver (in a way)

[ghenry]

Dear all,

What a time!!!

I have just spent the morning composing an e-mail in my FedoraNEWS.ORG webmail account, that was massive!!!

I opened another tab, and the browser froze. I'm afraid it's nothing I can duplicate, therefore I can't submit a bug report.

The problem was, I had the e-mail in the other tab, so I couldn't even take a screen shot. But for some reason, keyboard shortcuts worked, so I coudl navigate tabs and still select and copy my text. How strange!!!

One of the most useful pages:

Just a bug note on Firefix 0.9...

I previously had Acrobat reader 5.08 (RPM) installed in /usr/lib/acroread. I got 5.09 (tar.gz containing its own installer), which was installed /usr/local/Acrobat5. Now, when I clicked a PDF file link in Firefox, a dialog showed up, but OK button was disabled. (No mattter what I did, OK button was still disabled.) I had to manually edit ~/.mozilla/firefox/default.xxx/mimeTypes.rdf to replace

NC:path="/usr/lib/acroread/bin/acroread"

by

NC:path="/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread"

Just in case, if you have similar difficulty ...

firefox 0.9 was giving me issues as well: it would freeze whenever a certificate wouldn't match/authenticate properly.

i'm gonna install it again tomorrow and see if i can duplicate the bug. if so, i'll submit it.

it's a shame, really. i was liking firefox 0.9 a lot. it might not seem it at first, but it was definitely a step backwards having to revert to 0.8. :-/

I have some issues with high loading and gui reshaping.
