when checking the preferences of chatzilla 0.9.35 on fb 20030828 the preferences
dialog only shows the first page of chatzilla options, but you can click on the
sub menus. the ok button doesnt work only the cancel button works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open chatzilla
2. edit->preferences->chatzilla
3. dialog is broken

Actual Results:  
you cant change anything since ok button doesnt work and the other options then
the firts pagecant be reached

Expected Results:  
you can see all the options click on the su menu and change evrything press ok
and it works
Firstly, Chatzilla is not in any way designed to work with Firebird. Secondly,
it (because of this) uses the Seamonkey (i.e. Mozilla, not Firebird) preferences
window. Chances are, Firebird's missing bits that are needed for it to work
correctly.

The prefs are going to be re-done at some point (soon?) to be independant of the
host browser, and should resolve this problem.
Whoa, not so fast.  Chatzilla *is* intended to work on firebird.  It's just that
the prefs need to be reworked so that they function properly in both mozilla AND fb.
Can't have it as an extension without the preferences.

Viewing attachment 137798 [details] I get 

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity

Line Number 13, Column 1:<dialog id="ircPrefDialog" 

But that might be because I don't have CZ installed.
Chris Neale, from what I can see, you're basically using the Firebird pref
window for that attachment, right? I'd be interested in knowing if it works, and
what it looks like.

I am, however, working on a complete replacement window for Chatzilla - so that
we have one that works in Mozilla *and* Firebird (with no dependencies on bits
of XUL or JS code already being there). Hopefully, it'll be done soon, and when
it is the 0.9.54c release should have it.

comment 9 - that's because I added attachment with the xul mime-type

comment 10 - looks pretty much like Firebird Options - works since it provides
all the hooks that seamonkey prefs did

uses buttons (instead of a tree) to switch panels
tested the new version of chatazilla 0.9.45e and the new options dialog is 
working fine. only the last tab with the scrollbar needs to be changed in my 
opinion. marking this one fixed :)

Samir, what would you suggest for the 3rd tab?

We're working on a few behind-the-scenes improvements now, and probably grouping
the "munger" prefs (all those "Display <thing>" ones) properly. Suggestions for
better ways to lay things out welcome. :)
This is the preference window as seen in 0.9.58p, and similar special versions
of Chatzilla available from the hacksrus site.

5 months later ... has this been checked in?

Bug 212747 doesn't affect Firefox -> removing dependency.
And why should a problem with Firefox block the release of Mozilla 1.8a2?

Silver's checkin from 2004-06-08 20:33 (landing of 0.9.64) said that it fixes
this bug. Marking as fixed therefore.

cz 0.9.64b works fine in Firefox 0.9. But that wasn't checked in yet, see bug
245783. To work with the recent Firefox 0.9.0+ branch builds, the maxVersion in
cz's install.rdf needs to be bumped to 0.9.0+.
