Please remove all occurrences where you mention bug 6655.  Specifically, under
Additional Mail Functionality, All Platforms section, please remove the line:

hosts, you need to set the default nntp server pref: "network.hosts.nntp_server"

From http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/prefs-info.html which is where the
mail/news preferences and what they do are updated.

Under the "Additional Mail Functionality" section, please add MacOS to the Win32
and Linux section about bringing up the address book and seeing the UI.  Please
reword to say: "You can bring up the Address Book and see the UI. To see the
address books and directories on the Address Book window left pane, copy the
"ldap_2.*" prefs from 4.5 prefs.js into prefs50.js.  However, the card data in
the UI is hardcoded at this time and you cannot make any address book entry
changes or deletions."

Comment 26

[mcmullen]

Attachment: Fixes crashing bug clicking on the "Smart Update" prefs panel

Comment 27

[mcmullen]

Well, my comments were lost when I created those attachments. But you can
surmise, from the above, that selecting the "Colors" "Download" or "Smart Update"
prefs panels will crash.

The attached files should replace files in the directory Chrome/pref/content/
default/

Comment 28

[chris hofmann]

also another pref related item.
double clicking on items in preferences panels is likely
to result in crashes.  should be repaired by m8.
See bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8608
for more details.

Comment 30

[lchiang]

From http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8515:

"Composing and posting 10-15 news messages may cause messages not to display in
the message pane afterwards, may prevent you from opening other Navigator
windows, or any task that requires running any URLs.   The workaround for now is
to exit and restart Apprunner."

Please add this to the list of known problems for all platforms.

Comment 31

Moving all Apprunner bugs past and present to Other component temporarily whilst
don and I set correct component.  Apprunner component will be deleted/retired
shortly.

Comment 32

[Claudius Gayle]

Grrr.. this should just be fixed but I guess for now the release notes can just mention:

For all platforms:

"The 'Back', 'Forward', and 'Stop' buttons will often appear to be inactive(greyed out) when in fact they are not. Currently, mousing

over them or clicking them will not give you any visual feedback but WILL result in the appropriate action being taken. For more

information see http://mozilla.bugzilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7909"
