There is also some tab issues with the latest nightly.

1. Middle click doesn't always work (mostly not here on Neowin)

2. Can't close tabs (or at least I can't)

but I do have TBP installed so that could be the reason.. going to do a new profile and see if that fixes it. will report back here.

Edit: yep, TBP's messes the tabs up in the latest nightlys.. so be ware. Disabling does seem fix it for now.

2nd Edit: sorry found more info.

After installing the build from 23rd, my settings in tab browser preferences got trashed. Works fine after you reset it, just a friendly warning.

2/24 is up but still doesnt have a fix for the extension issues. That should be in a build by tomorrow (educated guess since a patch has been submitted for approval).

bangbang, I know this is a bit OT, but...

If you had some extra time, would you be able to help me out a bit in getting FF to compile on my machine? The only reason I ask is because I've tried a few different guides, but still get some errors. I could post to the mozilla build mailing list, but I've uusally not gotten responses when trying to ask mozilla people questions, but I'll probably still try just in case.

I ask you because obviously you know a bit about building it, since you've been doing it for so long. I want to try and put some memory leak checking code in, which I can do, but not until it compiles obviously.

If you could, I'd appreciate it. But I know you're pretty busy, so I'd understand if you couldn't.

[Veedems Veteran]

whats the errors you're getting and what mozconfig setup are you using?

vcv.. I can't help you with your problem but I can give you words of encouragement.

Keep up the good work (Y), and for those who keep saying that you're bashing FireFox purposely... shame on them.

For people who don't know what I talking about, vcv had recently posted a thread about Firefox's memoery leak problem... https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=288645

If you have any comments about the Fx memory leak problem, please DO NOT post here, post in the thread that I linked above.

I deleted the objdir and tried distclean at the suggested of someone at mozillazine.org, to no avail.

this happens at the very beginning of building? try to follow these directions to a T:

After about a minute or two of it running various checks, it happens.

The only problem with those instructions is that it uses gcc. I'll try it, but I really wanted to use MSVC :(

[Veedems Veteran]

http://iterator.besmirched.org/mozilla/mozbuild.html

vs .net instructions.

Right.. I followed those exactly, with no luck. My .mozconfig is actuallly after trying to tinker with it when it didnt work initially.

[Veedems Veteran]

lemme see your mozset

[vcv]

@echo off

set GLIB_PREFIX=C:\src\cpp\firefox\vc71
set LIBIDL_PREFIX=C:\src\cpp\firefox\vc71
set MOZ_TOOLS=C:\src\cpp\firefox\moztools
set MOZ_SRC=C:\src\cpp\firefox

call "C:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net 2003\common7\tools\vsvars32.bat"
set PATH=%PATH%;%MOZ_SRC%\mozilla\mingw\bin;C:\src\cpp\firefox\vc71\bin;%MOZ_TOOLS%\bin;%GLIB_PREFIX%\bin;%LIBIDL_PREFIX%\bin
set HOME=c:\src\cpp\firefox
set CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot

c:\src\cpp\firefox\mozilla is the root folder for the source

c:\src\cpp\firefox\moztools has the moztools needed for msvc and windows

c:\src\cpp\firefox\vc71 contains the custom glib and libidl libraries for msvc

[Veedems Veteran]

set PATH=%PATH%;%MOZ_SRC%\mozilla\mingw\bin;C:\src\cpp\firefox\vc71\bin;%MOZ_TOOLS%\bin;%GLIB_PREFIX%\bin;%LIBIDL_PREFIX%\bin

that line is messed up. you shouldn't have to reference mingw and you have no reference to cygwin. Here's my mozset. Simply edit out my paths and put in yours but don't change the order:

@echo off

set MOZ_TOOLS=J:\mozilla\moztools

set GLIB_PREFIX=J:\mozilla\w32build\vc7

set LIBIDL_PREFIX=J:\mozilla\w32build\vc7

set MOZ_SRC=J:\mozilla

call c:\"program files"\"microsoft visual studio .net 2003"\common7\tools\vsvars32.bat

set PATH=%PATH%;j:\mozilla\cygwin\bin;%GLIB_PREFIX%\bin;%LIBIDL_PREFIX%\bin;%MOZ_TOOLS%\bin

set HOME=J:\mozilla

set CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot

also, put the quotes around "microsoft visual studio .net 2003" in that path.

[vcv]

Oops.. I just noticed that too.

Even with the new PATH line and order, it still gets the exact same error :(

[Veedems Veteran]

are you downloading the tarball or doing a pull_all to get the code?

[vcv]

pull_all

I don't get why it's trying to do .o files as opposed to .obj since I'm using MSVC and not gcc. I think something is making it think I'm using gcc and MSVC and it's getting confused. But I never did anything to make it think that >:/

[Veedems Veteran]

man ive had a long day and I can't think right now. Um, I'll try to think it over but right now I'm jyst too out of it to think clearly. You may want to ask over mozillazine in the mean time. Sorry, but it's been a long day for me.

[vcv]

No problem.. thanks to trying to help though. I know it's kinda hard to try and fix something you dont have access to.

I am asking at mozillazine though. They just tend to be a bit slower at responding :p

2/25 is up and extensions work again

[supernova_00]

might want to note about the options menu bugs

[invisibro]

When I click on the Tools -> Options menu, all I get is this. Is this part of the option menu bug, or did I do something wrong?

[Veedems Veteran]

thats very odd. I haven't seen any reports for that.

[invisibro]

Got it, I think it was the skin. Changed it back to default and the menu works fine now. :blush:
