269540 - Problems with latest build .9.1+

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Josh Dintzer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041112 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041112 Firefox/0.9.1+

*I was running Firefox 1.0 and sent a bug report about the CMND-UPARROW and
CMND-DOWNARROW key combinations not functioning as "HOME" (top of page) and
"END", asking for a single-handed approach (for powerbook users.) I downloaded
the latest daily build of 0.9.1+ and it seems this problem was addressed.
*However, in 0.9.1+ (today), the tabs do not function properly most of the time;
for some reason, when you change tabs, the old page stays on the screen until
you either scroll down or resize the window.
*Additionally, CNTRL-T no longer seems to swap tabs. The key combination on a
powerbook to change tabs now is CTRL-FN-UPARROW, but even this is finnicky,
since if you accidentally hit the FN key before you hit CTRL it won't work.
*Finally, I downloaded 1.0 OSX again and it will not launch at all. It simply
quits itself before even establishing a menu bar. I downloaded it three times to
be sure.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
