Definatly seeing this, assuming it has to do with teh new dropdown list, wish I 
knew if this was intentional or not, one more reason I wish there was some way 
deveolopers could have a place to put notes that say things like, "expect the 
back forward buttons to be gone for a couple of days"
Marking as NEW

Did you delete your old directory and related files before installing.  I did 
not see this on 98 or NT with 5/4 morning or afternoon builds.

Comment 5

[Fredrik Sundberg]

yes, I deleted everything (/bin, /users50 directorys and /windows files )prior 
the install

[e-mail] is also seeing this in Win2000
in 050412

--> installer

i can confirm, isntalled today's isntaller (2000050508) on win98.  This is a
potential blocker, as it will cause a nsbeta2 to have no back/forward button.
Marking critical and nsbeta2.

assiging to ssu, per se's comments.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

this is also seen in today's commercial bits on winNT, 2000.05.05.08. not a
problem on linux or mac. when could this be fixed?

[Phil Peterson]

Sean, is this really an installer problem? cc'ing don and radha in case it's
really a Navigator problem.

Comment 11

[Radha on family leave (not reading bugmail)]

sairuh showed me the problem in windows. changing the menubuttons to be just a 
simple button brought the buttons back. However, linux and Mac have the 
menubuttons working and looking fine. Me thinks

1) Installer problems with Windows?
2) Did something change with the menubuttons implementation/CSS definition that 
w'd somehow affect windows only?

cc'ing ben goodger.

I don't see this as an installation problem.  I also don't see se's comments.

I see that the user removed the previous installation of mozilla, then 
reinstalled.  The problem still happened.

This removes the possibility of file conflicts during upgrade via the installer.

This really doesn't look like an installer problem.  I'm not sure who to 
reassign this bug to though.

Comment 13

[Phil Peterson]

Last I heard from don this was a skinnability problem with those buttons, so I'm
reassigning to ben.

Comment 14

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

well, the thing is, the normal mozilla zipped archive works, the back/forward 
buttons are showing normally.

However, using the installer, they don't appear. Which is why I moved it to 
installer.

Comment 15

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

The file in the chrome directory: menulistBindings.xml is not installed by the 
Installer. When this is added from a zip version, the menu buttons appear. This 
file was created (on 04/29) by, and was last touched by [e-mail].

One would assume that, contrary to leaf's recent instructions (4th May) in 
n.p.m.builds, the .xpi file has not been updated.

Changing component to Installer: XPInstall Engine, as that component description 
includes "Installer not installing all files" and CCing [e-mail], to get 
him to kick butt to fix this :-)

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar for beta2 fix.  ben, chofmann asked to assign to you 
for manifest update.

I'm seeing the small dots with today's build on Win 98 if I start up mozilla 
after using the installer.  If I unzip 'mozilla-win32.zip' and start mozilla, 
then I see the buttons and not the small dots.

Reopening.

[Daniel (Leaf) Nunes]

Which installer? commercial, or mozilla?

I'm also still seeing the bug on the 5/11 commercial build on NT

Comment 22

[don]

Dang.  Well, it was working for me ...

Ben, is this YOUR bug?  I can't believe it's us ...

Comment 23

[Jimmy Lee]

I had some problems with installing on Mac earlier, but I have that resolved 
now.  The problem also exists for the Mac if using the installer.

For Linux, the problem also exists if the installer is run.

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

The problem also still exists on Mozilla 2000051109 bits. AFAIAA it has never 
been fixed in the Mozilla bits. Note that the solution to this bug is posted in 
my comment above. Are the .xpi files up to date for the Windows installer?

Looks good here.  No Mac build today.  I'll try again later or tomorrow.

Blocked from verification since there has not been any installable Mac build 
since 5/12/00. Bug 39460 blocks current ability to install.
