Grrr – firefox crashes after I’ve uploaded a file to a website. Happens on geocaching.com, this blog and on Microsoft’s site uploading a bug report. Very annoying as the whole browser crashes 🙁 Not sure what has caused this, probably some faulty extension or something. (It happens when the page you get after uploading a file is displayed). I’ve sent several reports back to Microsoft and the mozilla group, but the latter is annoying as most of the time the bug reporting application seems to freeze too 🙁
I fired up my Firebird browser this morning and the homepage was talking about Firefox 0.8. Looks like it’s gone from Phoenix to firebird to firebox. Wish they would make up their mind. I wouldn’t have thought this would help matters as its going to make some users confused and also dilutes the brandname if it keeps getting changed.
Now upgraded MT to 2.661 (which meant I had to re-edit MT.pm – thank heavens for MT’s search function!)
If you have the java plugin installed for phoenix, and then change your User Agent to Internet Explorer, then when you fire up Phoenix, it will say that you can’t use the netscape plugin in Internet Explorer and then give you an ok button…..and hangs. I’ve reported on something similar to this in the past, but at least last time it did that it actually let you carry on using Phoenix.
After Neil pointed out that Firebird can be downloaded now I tried to access the site but it was dead slow. However I did get the filename. A quick search on google found a site that had the file, dated today. That shows how quickly google updated his page! To save their bandwidth I’m not going to tell you where – just use a bit of common sense!
I was going to download release candidate 0.7 of Firebird, but the Firebird project page mentions the full version will be out on Tuesday so I will wait until then.
Yesterday was the time to install the next build of Firebird as it was nagging me that I was 4 weeks old. So I downloaded the nightly build and was pleasantly suprised to see that my Pop3 webadmin interface no longer prompts me for a username and password for every item on the page, ditto for my adsl router. Very pleased! The tabbrowser extension needed to be updated as it kept complaining and I also upgraded linky too.
Tried to import my mozilla bookmarks from my laptop onto my pc and although it does import, it puts everything in different folders so the bookmarks Toolbar folder that I was hoping to import appears at the bottom of the new bookmarks list. I must say that it was a lot easier to manage the favourites in Internet Explorer.
