Firefox 1.0 PR

[WizarDru]

Is anyone here using it? And if so, are you having any problems posting?

Since I switched a couple of days ago from .93 to 1.0, I've noticed I can't get enhanced mode to work in the post window. I'm not getting a WYSIWYG preview as I'm typing, and so forth. I'm halfway to jumping back to the previous version. I haven't noticed anything different in the settings.

Could this be a Java or Javascript setting that needs changing, or have they changed the engine such that it no longer works the same?

I use .93 (latest .9 before 1.0 at least) and I can't highlight text then use the html tagger with firefox, but I can still embolded etc. Also the smilies come at the current end of the post but that might be the boards.

Can you not use any of the enhanced stuff? It might not have brought ocver the cookie that keeps it on...

What do you mean by "I'm not getting a WYSIWYG preview" It adds characters and stuff?

I'm using .9.3 and I have no problems except pasting text. I did get a java error, but I havn't really tried to fix it yet. So I would look at your java settings.

Prior to upgrading to 1.0PR from 0.93, I could highlight text, and then click on the B, I or U icons, and have it apply that to the text. Now it shows tags, instead. I'm in enhanced mode, so that shouldn't be a problem. I've tried resetting it, to no avail. I'll try deleting my cookies for enworld. Perhaps that's the problem (although it wasn't before, when I went from .89 to .93, iirc).

Try clearing your cache and cookies. Also, you might need to reinstall java, if that's what it uses (I'm not sure, myself). Just hit java.com.

WizarDru -

sigh.


No, I haven't. I'll let you know if I figure something out. I suspect it's a javascript component, but I can't figure out what.

I'm using 0.93 and 1.0pr and the only problem which I see with both of them is that images which don't have a height and width attribute don't appear on my screen - which includes most of the images people attach in the gallery!

Does anybody else see that? If not, I'll start disabling extensions and see if I can work out whose to blame!

Cheers

No problem with images.
My issues were:
when using .9.3 I couldn't cut/paste into the WYSIWYG editor. Now I've updated to 1.0 my probs are the same as WizarDru.

Try this cure-all:
Export all you bookmarks and stuff from firefox. It will also nuke your extensions, so you might write down which ones you want to go get again later.
Uninstall firefox. Also uninstall any older versions of firefox that may still be installed.
In 2000/XP, go to C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Application Data\Mozilla and delete the Firefox folder. If you don't run regular Mozilla, delete the whole Mozilla folder too.
[Note that Application Data is a hidden folder, so you'll have to change the setting to see that. For Win2k, from any explorer window (not IE), go to Tools->Folder Options, click the View tab, find the setting and change it. Take similar steps for XP.]
Reinstall firefox. Import your bookmarks and reinstall your extensions.

If it still doesn't work, it's a bug.
