This is the release notes catch-all for Mozilla 0.8. If you have a bug or new feature information that needs to be added to the release notes please enter a small blurb of text and if there is a bug open the full url to the bug in question.
There are several new hidden prefs (UI will be added eventually) to turn off various annoying features on web pages: // Image animation mode: normal, once, none. user_pref("image.animation_mode", "once"); // Use configurable security policies to override popups, see // http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/configPolicy.html // Turn window.open off for particular sites: user_pref("capability.policy.popupsites.sites", "http://www.annoyingsite1.com http://www.popupsite2.com"); user_pref("capability.policy.popupsites.windowinternal.open","noAccess"); // Or turn it off everywhere: user_pref("capability.policy.default.windowinternal.open","noAccess"); // Override popping up new windows on target=anything user_pref("browser.target_new_blocked", true);
Don't add the animation pref, I want to get the ui done this weekend for .8.
Can we mention bug 68103 (21% speedup in Seamonkey...) in the What's New section?
Mentioning bug 67442 here as it occurs quite often. " 'open link in new window' doesn't work all the time ". http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67442
'Compatibility Information' should have a windows subheading. It would also be nice if all of the headings that have OS subheading could have the subheading order standardized.
Hmmm..actually with regard to bug 67442 I mentioned above, this doesnt seem to be appearing on the .8 branch even though no fix was checked in (perhaps related to Peter `jag' Annema's back out for bug 66034 ?). Sorry for the needless comment.
The following bugs are mentioned in the release notes but are not currently open: bug 44787, bug 58259, bug 59012, bug 54637, bug 54031, bug 56865, bug 43408, bug 44579, bug 49484, bug 53741, bug 53440. Gerv
Incorrect wording: "If you share your Netscape 6 profile with Mozilla, you may be able to see headers for messages in the account's Inbox if you have previously checked one of these accounts in Netscape 6, but you will be unable to interact with the messages." should read "...you will *not* be able to interact..."
Bug 65220 relnoted twice: "Connecting to ftp sites may hang the browser. (Bug 65220)" and "Visiting FTP sites can cause the browser to freeze and become unresponsive. (Bug 65220)"

Transferring comment from bug 69176: Under International Release Notes/IMAP, there is the text: > You may see an extraneous vertical bar or a question mark in the window title > display of a header subject line. This is a misinterpreted Tab character sent > from an IMAP server as part of a line folding sequence. This problem does not > occur under a POP mail account. 1) The problem is no longer specific to IMAP, it also occurs for POP, NNTP, and local mail. 2) The bug number for this issue is 64948.
Can this bug be closed out?
thanks.
