134771 - make RC1 not suck

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Tracking, defect)

Description

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

This is a tracking bug for bugs that [e-mail] consider important to
the success of a Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 1. Please do not change the
dependencies in this bug unless you are a driver. This is for RC1, not Mozilla
1.0 Final.

Comment 1

[Lasse Marøen]

Please consider adding bug 121230. RC1 without support for transparent png on
windows would IMO suck.

Comment 2

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

We need to make the timers not be random values between 0 and 2x the correct time

Comment 3

[Markus Hübner]

Please consider bug 124999 for RC1. Animated Gifs are heavily used and this 
would make no good impression if we suck on that.

Comment 4

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

I nominate bug 3935. It involves Mozilla-specific-CSS syntax changes, and so has
the potential to break themes and things. I'm attaching a patch to fix at least
part of it very soon.

Nominating bug 135242.

This bug seriously interferes with Windows 98.

Comment 6

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

adding critical topcrashers to the list for RC1

Comment 7

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

bug 124999 (nominated here) was duped against bug 86319.

Comment 8

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Bug 134771 is worthy of consideration for making RC1 not suck.  It appears that
we're losing the URL information when a redirect happens, and so not accepting
cookies properly, and causing some e-banking sites to malfunction (and probably
quite a few others if they set the 'don't accept cookies from other sites' pref.

Comment 9

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Man, evil dyslexia.  I mean bug 134203.

Comment 10

[Peter Lairo]

Please consider: bug 133351, bug 127634, bug 114606, bug 92380 (have you
accidentally deleted an entire bookmark *folder* lately? I have!), bug 91662
(very visible bug), bug 73712 (we need icons, man), bug 62586 (what was that
subject?), bug 56052 (long neglected, but much *voted* for), bug 46227 (editing
nuissance), bug 32157 (probably the biggest UI *blooper* in mozilla), bug 22687
(e-mail "security", pie-in-the-sky?).

Comment 11

[Hideo Oshima]

I'd like to nominate bug 125106.
It is a worst bug for Japanese Win users
because Mozilla installer creates undeletable folders.
Plese fix it until 1.0 RC1.

Comment 12

[Robert Kaiser]

I'd like to nominate bug 133764.

This bug
1) has a very simple patch (has r= already)
2) will be a problem when more localised builds get available (this _will_
happen with RC1), because many people try to change content + langauge pack at
once, which are often delivered together by L10n people (like me).

Comment 13

[Gashu]

As mentioned by Hideo-san, bug 125106 is a critical issue. When 0.9.9 was
released with this bug, sadly, some IT related sources (e.g. ZDnet or CNET)
posted negative ariticles and some end-users blamed their irrelevant problems on
Mozilla. If RC1 is released with it, this mood, I mean "Mozilla is not reliable"
can gain among lots of end-users for a time being. If this bug is fixed, we can
involve more people toward 1.0.

Comment 14

[Colin Blake]

Please consider adding bug 129420. mailto proxies do not work AT ALL if you are 
using a Proxy Auto Config (PAC) file. Many large corporations require their 
users to use PAC, and so for all these people, mailto links are 100% busted.

Comment 15

[Colin Blake]

re comment 14 - I meant to say "mailto LINKS do not work at all..."

Comment 16

[Peter Lairo]

> DO NOT NOMINATE BUGS HERE OR OTHERWISE SPAM US

OK. Then could you please provide an alternative avenue for us to bring
important bugs to your attention (a specific newsgroup perhaps)?

Comment 17

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

Adding myself.

Comment 18

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Added cookie problem (regression due to change in cookie filtering) that affect
e-commerce (buy.com, etc)

Comment 19

[Shark Daddy (Jonathan L.)]

What about bug 133250? For QA's sake, it'd be nice to have this squashed before
RC1, as opposed to 1.0, comes out (or else we'll have a dozen dups pouring in
daily).

Comment 20

[Mike Kowalski]

I'd like to nominate bugs
77104,32218,102972,109565,78821,103530,105698,127842,137067,132242,135250,135331,137067,133250.
Please consider adding some or all these bugs to the list. Thanks.

Comment 21

[Jacek Piskozub]

I would like to nominate bug 91662 ("Long strings in mail header cause scroll
bars and attachment window to disappear, making message unviewable."). TIA for
considering it.

Comment 22

[Andreas Otte]

I would like to nominate bug 137551 the just downgraded linux smoketest blocker
which is also present in the branch.

Comment 23

[Bernard Alleysson]

I would like to nominate bug 120155
This one is driving me crazy and it's hard to tell anyone to use mozilla as long
as this bug is still here

Comment 24

[Jonadab the Unsightly One (Nathan Eady)]

As I understand it, this bug is a tracking bug for the drivers to use 
to keep track of whatever they're keeping track of, and we get to watch.  
It is not a general forum for airing "I think bug x is important", 
(unless you are a driver).  That's what votes are for (or patches,
if you are a developer).  

If I've misunderstood, Asa or one of the other drivers will correct me.  
Otherwise, please, let the drivers do their job.  

Comment 25

[Jacek Piskozub]

Nathan: Compare comment #16 and the change in Status Whiteboard it triggered
(comparing time stamps).

Comment 26

[Manko]

I think, bug 32571 and bug 103452 should be placed here.

Comment 27

[Manko]

I think, bug 32571 and bug 103452 should be placed here.

Comment 28

[Andreas Schrattenecker]

please consider bug 133351.
otherwise almost everyone on all OS would think even bookmarks dont work

Comment 29

[Manko]

Sorry of previous duplicate.

And my personal entreaty - bug 47475.
This is really annoing on several sites such as http://www.apple.com/ when
option "Accept images from originating server only" is enabled.

I use Mozilla as default browser already more than half-year, and this bug heads
"charts" of my wishes to Mozilla ;)

Comment 30

[Lasse Marøen]

This bug seems to be fixed now.. :-)

Comment 31

[Andreas Kunz]

Seems not to be fixed at all!
According to the dependencies (bug 121583, bug 129953 and bug 137079 are *not*
fixed right now) one even could assume that RC1 indeed sucks...

Comment 32

[Sören 'Chucker' Kuklau (gone)]

#31
By that logic, 0.9.5 and up really have to suck. There are still unresolved
dependencies in the 0.9.5 not suck bug:

Comment 33

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

RC1 is done.
