  1. Re:Middle click new tab on Mac on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Middle click won't ever work on a 1.0.x release. You will need to wait until the 1.1 release. It was fix on the trunk by bug 151249.

    There is a flag variable in about:config 'app.update.updatesAvailable' that gets set to true. The notification would have gone away on its own in about a day when Firefox checked for updates.

  3. Re:This isn't much of an "exploit" on New Mozilla Firefox 1.0.3 Exploit · · Score: 1

    Because in its default setting only update.mozilla.org and addons.mozilla.org are the only sites on the whitelist. Every other site gives you a little yellow bar saying that the install of an extension was blocked. You need to enable the site and refresh the page before you can install the extension.

    There was a server side change that prevents the exploit from working on UMO. You only need to be concerned with sites on your install software whitelist.

    There was a server side change that prevents the exploit from working on UMO. Now you need to be careful of the sites you whitelist. Also see the post by alanjstr http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=148775&cid= 12467737

  6. Re:Tried the test exploit they supplied... on New Mozilla Firefox 1.0.3 Exploit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The exploit has been largely nullified by implementing a server side change.

    The exploit would still work if you whitelist the wrong site.

    Change the search mode in the address field

    By default, if you enter a search term in the address field and press Enter, a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search is performed, and you're taken to the first result of that search directly. If you prefer to see the standard search result list instead, add the following code to your user.js file:

    // Change to normal Google search:
    user_pref("keyword.URL", "http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q =");

    Of course, you could also change to a completely different search engine by changing the string to something else. The default search string is: "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+L ucky&q=".

    http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2005/0 4/acid2.html

    There's been lots of speculation about which browser will get Acid2 working first. I'd put my money on Safari. The problem is that we're late in the Gecko 1.8/Firefox 1.1 release cycle and there are a couple of bugs that would be quite a lot of work to fix, and introduce significant risk, and they're just not as important as other work that we have long planned for 1.8 and some other strategic work that I'll blog about soon. We will get to it in 1.9.

    I'm sure some will seize on this as an opportunity to say "Gecko developers don't care about standards" ... they're simply wrong, as anyone can tell by looking at the huge number of standards compliance bugs we fix in every release. And keep in mind that if everyone's #1 priority was always standards compliance, Firefox would never have happened. -Roc

    The next release of Mozilla (it won't be called Mozilla) will get any features that are Core bugs. The cached back and forward feature is a Core change. Sanatize is not.

    Opera did not have it before, see my comment in this article. Cliffnotes: SVG work on Mozilla dates back to at least 2000 and Official builds of Mozilla 1.0 w/ SVG were available in 2002.

    SVG has been a compile time option since at least 2000. See the beginnings of netscape.public.mozilla.svg

    Heck Mozilla 1.0 had SVG support with these Official builds.
