What, precisely, is the problem with Mozilla/Firefox? Does it involve the SuSE Mozilla/Firfox 1.0.3 update?
Yes.
I am using Mozilla/Firefox 1.0.3. The bookmarks toolbar is displayed just below the location toolbar but it is blank.
Same here.
I believe that this problem was introduced when SuSE released the 1.0.3 update. However, I can't be sure because I was distracted by the problems caused by SaX2 changing my display manager and window manager during the upgrade from SuSE 9.2 to SuSE 9.3.
This was introduced by YOU, yes.
Anyway, the ~/.mozilla/firefox/
.default/bookmarks.html file used to generate the contents of the bookmarks toolbar is still present. It contains the Novell: Support link and all of the links that I added to the toolbar. It just isn't used to generate the bookmarks toolbar.
It's worse than that. If you rename your old profile and start with a new profile you can use that bookmarks.html file in your new profile. So you *can* get it to work semi-normally, but minus other settings and carry-overs from the previous working version of Firefox. Incidentally, this isn't obviously a SuSE problem. Do a quick Google and you'll see Windows users talking about jumping ship back to IE. So definitely it's a major Mozilla/Firefox fubar. I just wish SuSE had tested it before dropping it into YOU.
After a few quick tests, it looks like the Bookmarks Toolbar will only be rendered when either the Bookmarks or History Sidebar is displayed. If the Sidebar is closed when you exit Firefox, the Bookmarks Toolbar is not rendered the next time that you open Firefox and the Bookmarks drop-down is blank.
That's the same behavior I've experienced. Until using a new profile.
This behaviour does not occur on a SuSE 9.2 system that has had the Mozilla/Firefox 1.0.3 patch applied using YOU. Strange!
It does on mine. My problem is caused by the patch applied using YOU. Preston
