2. enter new bool extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b = false

Double checked on Win7 nightly from 20101020.

It is connecting but no text is showing up in the chat window. I am able to connect, but I get no notification that I was able to connect. When I join a channel I can see the members in the left side pannel, but when I type I see nothing in the chat panel. I tried changing the theme, but no luck.

Will investigate further before nominating.

So it works with the nightly from 20101012 but not the one from 20101013, and the error console has a few warnings like: 

Non-standard document.height was used. Use standard document.body.ClientHeight instead. chrome://chatzilla/content/output-window.html

This looks to be something that could be addressed in the add-on.

Assuming the previous comment about height vs clientHeight is correct, i'm marking this a dupe.
