[opensuse] Firefox 3 beta 2
I see in the build service there is MozillaFirefox-2.9.92-8.1.x86_64.rpm Anyone know what that is in laymens terms. And if not Firefox 3 Beta 2, is anyone experimenting with it under 10.3 Suse yet?

That's Firefox 3 beta 2 indeed. Feel free to test it but keep a backup of your FF2 profile to be sure. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

5 Minute Review Firefox 3 beta 2 definitely feels faster. I've tried gmail's web interface and Google Docs. Both have been pretty slow for me the past. Could just be good luck / timing / phase of the moon, but both seem snappier to me.

You're right, the Web 2.0 stuff seems to be really good in Beta 2. But I just tried to go to youtube, and I don't get anything in video box. No way to click play. No a critical thing for me, but a surprise. Is there something I need to configure / install to get that working?

Hi Greg, I just gave Youtube a shot and everything worked normally. You might try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that clears things up. I've got a pretty standard 10.3 installation so the only things installed are what comes right from the DVD. When I installed FF3 I used the one click install method from the OpenSUSE Build site.

Dunno, I just checked youtube, all good, and the movie trailers at quicktime.com play well too.

What do you see at the URL about:plugins? I show the same plugins as I had for ff2 - and specifically, mplayer plug-in handles quicktime.

I saw a couple posts that 10.3 was working good with 64-bit, so I decided to install that way. This is my first glitch, but this is my office desktop. I don't need multi-media, so I'll stick with what I have. Too much hassle to switch to 32-bit, and so far the speed of FF3B2 far outweighs the lack youtube, etc. Since this is a beta merely hosted in the build service, should I file a Novell Bugzilla against it?

And that's it.
I wonder if it still works with Firefox 2. The reason is that it seems to me that the new Flash version (you have installed) in not completely compatible with nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.4. You might want to try the nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5 package in the mozilla repository and see if it helps.

I've now got a couple days experience. with Firefox 3 Beta 2. I don't do a tremendous amount of multimedia website browsing, but I do spend a lot of time interacting with Gmail and I have Web 2.0 Rails app I use several times a day. Overall, the speed improvement of this is fantastic. And I suspect the reliability is also improved. ie. I used to get the feeling things would be better if I exited and restarted Firefox every day or so. So far I have noticed no degradation at all running FF3B2.

That's most probably the same for FF3 and FF2 and is a bug in gtk2 which has been fixed already. Probably not if you are using gtk2 from GNOME:STABLE.

I second that thanks to the developers for their hard work. My list of issues, at present, stands at:
1) Print preview results in a crash.
That's most probably the same for FF3 and FF2 and is a bug in gtk2 which has been fixed already. Probably not if you are using gtk2 from GNOME:STABLE. The official fixed version is gtk2-2.12.0-5.4

Many thanks Wolfang, that is exactly what it is. Does anyone on here know when or how often GNOME:STABLE is updated? -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If there are any developers onlne, thanks fro great improvements.
FYI: The only glitch I had was having to upgrade to nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5 manually. Would be nice if that was part of one-click install.
The reason why you needed nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5 is the flash-player update you got recently. So the correct solution would need to be in the flash-player package probably. It should require nspluginwrapper >= 0.9.91.5 for x86_64 architecture since the older version doesn't work anymore with the newer flash plugin. (that's only a sidenote since it's nothing a user should have to care about) Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I see in the build service there is MozillaFirefox-2.9.92-8.1.x86_64.rpm
Anyone know what that is in laymens terms.
And if not Firefox 3 Beta 2, is anyone experimenting with it under 10.3 Suse yet?
Greg
FYI: That build service now has Firefox 3 Beta 4. Not many blocker bugs left. ANd I saw benchmark that claimed FF3B4 is 5 times faster than FF2. Fantastic job the developers are doing.

Yes, and it uses Xulrunner 1.9b and sets MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to /usr/lib/xulrunner1.9* which Lotus Notes doesn't like :(.. I can just point the variable to /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.* but don't know how it would affect FF 3. What is the varaible used for? Does anyone know? Is it more of a development thing? That's be great to know for me.. Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Could you please elaborate? Firefox 3.0b4 depends on XULRunner 1.9b4 that's correct but it doesn't set any MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME (or at least shouldn't) variable. What Firefox does is to search for a compatible GRE in /etc/gre.d/ and find the XULRunner 1.9 runtime defined there. How is Lotus Notes connected here? Is it a XUL application? If yes, does it use a startsript to define a XULRunner location? Does it have its own XULRunner? Does it use a system installed one? Does it have a file called application.ini? What is the content of that file? Even if Firefox would define a MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME how would Lotus Notes know about it? It's no browser plugin I assume. Sorry for being ignorant but I never had to use Lotus Notes but I'm very interested in how it interacts with XULRunner and Firefox.
