Has anyone else noticed that if Mozilla 0.9.4 knows the file extention it does funky stuff with the file. Every tar.gz or .pdf I've downloaded with it has issues. It changes the name of the file to something like " f49skht.tar.gz" and won't let me specify where I want it put..it just downloads the stuff to /tmp. I've backed down to 0.9.3 after discovering that it has issues with some .jpg's..a KDE themes site wouldn't display it's screenshots..and neither would e.themes.org..among others I tried after that. I submitted a bug about it.
It's just an FYI and I wanted to know the thoughts of others.
I've noticed something similar. Have you tried holding the shift key down when you click the link? I've found that works for ftp links embeded in documents.

I'm using a nightly which trys to associate rpm with realplayer, but it gives me the option to download it rather than invoke realplayer, and it gives me a file chooser to download to. I didn't actually save the file, but it sure 'looked' like it would work. There was a check box which said it wouldn't

I went to e.themes.org with 0.9.4 just now and was able to see all 3 jpgs under new shots (and brought up the page for screenshots). The middle picture was even 2560x1600 (what size screen do they use?). .9.4 so far (since yesterday) has been better for me than .9.3. I have copied over my plugin directory (and relinked the jave plugin) from 9.3, and Realplayer is working, Flash, and plugger is now working again (.9.3 broke that one, worked in .9.2), and even Java. Ben, too bad you had problems, I started using .0.9.1 after your post about it (and have been encouraged at the continued improvements- especially in the mail client). I'm still using 6.4 2.2.19 with X 3.3.6, so I realize we are not comparing apples to apples. ;) BTW, I am using the talkback enabled released version. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have softlinks out of .netscape, .mozilla and the directory that Konq keeps it's bookmarks into where I keep a universal bookmark file so they all write to it if I bookmark a site. It's worked like that for about a year..no problems. And I have my plugins directory which I tarred up from 0.9.3 and untarred in the new 0.9.4 directory..nothing weird there. I guess I'll give it a shot again. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org cat CE|ME|NT|XP > /dev/null
