/cheer!

Whoah.. you put up a colored picture of yourself.. tee hee.. Coool, looks like things are going pretty good for you guys.

> error pages have replaced error dialogs

It's not in alpha2 yet.

Huge step forward, yeah!

Gandalf:
What do you base that comment on? Looking at:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/app/profile/firefox.js#324
shows that the pref clearly has been changed to true by default on the trunk.

Hey, you look younger on the new picture. ;-)

And the error page is working, although it seems to be quite ugly.

I just got DPA2 and have a real problem: in the connection settings, I wanted to type in my automatic proxy configuration url. But whenever I start typing, eg. with an "h", I get "http://h/" ("p"->"http://p/"). I can't use backspace, so I am absolutely unable to connect to the internet (I even had to start IE!!!!)

I did a complete uninstall of DPA1, removed DPA1 folder an profile, did a reboot and installed DPA2.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

Okay, I manually downloaded the proxy config file and got the proxy ip, so I'm online with DPA2...

BUT I can't login to openbc.com and talkline.de, when submitting my login data, after some seconds I get that nice new error message. It works fine with IE (again...).

Yes, the dns error page has a lot of room for improvement. There is a bug and has some examples if you take a look.

Whoops, that should be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280190

I get too many "Net Timeout Error". Did someone set too low timeouts? Even the bugzilla links don't work because of "timeouts". And the error page isn't clearly arranged.

No src to download from the FTP site?

Profiles weren't working for me in a1, and still aren't in a2:

/usr/local/firefox/firefox &

launches. Then try opening a second profile at the
same time:

/usr/local/firefox/firefox -P alternative &

Warning: unrecognized command line flag -P

:(

This works in Firefox 1.0.x

Some issues:
1. Images seem to load slower. I don't know why.
2. The "do you want to set deer park as the default browser" dialog box has two blank buttons (instead of ok and cancel). Clicking the left one (where ok normally is) did set it as the default, but I had to close the dialog box with its close button.
3. The (temporary, I hope) name of the browser is "Deer Park" (why?), but it uses Firefox's user-profile. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it's not so good. A better solution would be to import all settings from my regular Firefox profile into a "Deer Park" profile.

Noam.

Forget my timeout-complaints! When I manually configured the proxy, I didn't click on "use this proxy server for all connections", so all SSL-connections failed. Until now, I never had to, because the proxy-script-feature worked well...
Sorry! But the original problem with the proxy-script still exists :(

Gavin: ahh, I was sure that this will be switched on *after* checkin in new pretty error pages ;)
My fault.

Are the 1.05 security fix’s included in this release?

I get tons of Javascript errors showing up in Javascript console when using various Google sites. It doesn't seem to affect anything, at least upon a superficial examination. Google toolbar spellcheck appears broken.

Escuse me, but I am a bit confused.

I installed the extension "Nightly Tester Tools" which I can't seem to do much with *except* on the very top menu bar, I can now see that I am running "Deer Park Alpha 2 (Build 2005071306)"

So am I corect in that I am using the version relating to this topic "deer park alpha 2 is here" ?

If so, "Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs" does not appear to be working. I do have Tab Mix Plus 0.2.3.1 which has an option to do just this and I have turned it off.

Additionally "Software update system to streamline product upgrades (currently disabled)" is not at all disabled for me... seems to be working very well.

If this is way too stupid a question (please remember that I am simply a "Regular Person" who is a rabid FF Fan and that it has been incredibly hot here in Central New York State for what seems like forever, so I may not be running on all cylinders), do feel free to send me an e-mail directly :)

@Lawrence - Disable TabMix Plus, and you will see that drag & drop works. Author of Tab Mix Plus decided to keep old code for reordering of tabs, so that extension is compatible with 1.0 branch, but had to disable new Deer Park feature for drag and drop, as it wouldn't work otherwise.

Thanks Ivan, you were correct and "Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs" is working properly now.

As there has been no response, I'm going to presume that I am in fact using Deer Park Alpha 2:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050715 Firefox/1.0+ - Build ID: 2005071506

Today's update choked a bit ("Could not verify integrity of the update so entire {file} downloading" or similar words ... then it would not install the update) but after deleting "active-update.xml" and "updates.xml" it worked just fine. Gotta' love that update feature.

Sincerely,

I sure wish I could somehow (is there a way?) save my settings for Aardvard, and for Remove it Permanently

I do export my Adblock Plus list before creating a new Profile.

Tonight's Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050715 Firefox/1.0+ seemed like it demanded the new profile -- it gets stuck if I close all the windows, then can't open a new one, nor pull down a menu, and has to be force quit. And always crashes when quit. Lots of Apple and Talkback reports filed today.

Seems the new profile didn't help; back to what I guess ?? is the recommended test release, for July 12th.

Oh. Drat. It's AdBlockPlus 0.5.8 that prevents Deer Park from opening a new window once all have been closed. 0.5.7+ supposedly doesn't have that problem.

Darn.
