I use beta versions of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird on Windows, to help with testing etc.
I would like to do the same on SuSE Tumbleweed. I cannot find any repos containing the rpms, so I downloaded the versions from the Mozilla web site.
I typically have 6 different SeaMonkey and Firefox versions open at once, and most of the time am not running the installed openSUSE version unless booted to TW.
Beta Firefox installation was a breeze, and I am able to use it on Tumbleweed just fine with no issues (other than product issues since this is Beta, which are issues I am seeking anyways).
Beta Thunderbird though shows no scroll bars at all nor scroll arrows in the scroll region of the window. This does not happen on Windows. I suspect this is a Tumbleweed/XFCE issue and not a Thunderbird issue, since I see many references to these types of issues on Linux distros. However, I not been able to find a fix. Would anyone know the fix or what direction I should be looking in?
People not using Gnome need to collectively jump en masse down the throats of those upstream responsible, the Gnome/GTK people. There are multiple open mozilla.org bugs as a result of mozilla.org building using the GTK3 toolkit instead of GTK2. Those I'm aware of include: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269145 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269149 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269274 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1260067 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269172 Big trouble upcoming for non-Gnome users with hiDPI and not such good vision: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757142 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367499 needs to be confirmed, as it's very real. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
