| Just curious, how come thunderbird 0.8 hit stable so fast? I thought the idea was that new apps sat in ~x86 for a while first. |

Yes, but Tb 0.8 (and Firefox 0.10 and Mozilla 1.7.3) fixes some security problems and was therefore pushed stable. See this bug. |

|

younker@HuaKe /mnt $ firefox
No running windows found
/usr/bin/firefox: line 87: 8797 Segmentation fault $mozbin "$@"
after upgrade to 1.0PR, start firefox, it told me that segmentation fault.
but 0.9.3 was ok.
glibc 2.3.4 + gcc 3.4.1 + kernel 2.6.8-r4 + xorg 6.8
what's the problem? |

Ah, I see. Still, it's pretty alarming that I'm running the stable arch and a routine upgrade breaks the most important app on my system. |

Just installed Firefox 1.0PR and noticed that it wouldn't install themes and I kept getting a warning that "Updates to Preferences" was not being saved.
Saved my bookmarks and deleted my ~.mozilla folder, then I reconfigured my Preferences and reinstalled my Extensions and Themes. Best move I made as the Extensions and Themes install much better then on the older .93 version. Feels more solid and responsive. |

| what are people opinions on the new find toolbar, took me by surprise, not really sure if i like it quite yet although i think it will quickly grow on me. The fact it searches as you type and turns red when something isn't found is kinda neat. |

Apparently updating Thunderbird breaks all previous settings. I had to rename "~/.thunderbird" in order for it work right, and now I can't figure out how to import my previous mail messages or address book.
Edit: You have to import the old files "by hand". Kind of a pain.

I do believe that the Firefox and Thunderbird releases move to stable too quickly. The only problems I consistently have with the software installed through portage is with those two.
Does anybody know if there's a way to copy over the settings for junk mail filtering (after I 'trained' it)?

I noticed that it doesn't actually work. It will highlight words, but when you actually try to find something in a page, and hit find next or press enter or anything it will do nothing. Anyone else seeing this annoying behavior?

Yep, it does that for me too. I am thinking about going back to 0.9.3, because find in page is pretty vital. Unless somebody has the solution, I'll probably just re-emerge 0.9.3 and wait, until this version gets reasonably usable. |

Yeah I'm going back to 0.9.3 until it's more stable.

I think I'm going to stick with Thunderbird 0.7.3-r1 until a newer version can deal with older settings or I feel like resetting everything again one day. I just couldn't save anything and I wanted to try gentoo-portage.com's RSS feed as an account but it wouldn't let me create a new account. So I am downgrading.
La de daa.

Just noticed this too...It will highlight words but it won't actually "find" them. I'm using Gnome. |

| I've emerged the newest FF, but I don't see any of the new features? And I can't enter new preferences, it just says "failed to set preferences" or something like that. The version screen however says version 1.0 |

Yep, that's another problem. As I think someone mentioned before, I exported my bookmarks and then just moved .mozilla/firefox (I was too smart to delete ie  ) away, restarted and imported old bookmarks, which reset everything but at least now setting preferences and creating new bookmarks works. However, this didn't solved "find in page" problem. |

Here's a quirk in the new Firefox... you can't use the old-standby CTL-U to delete an entire line.
This was great for clearing the address bar... you'd just put the insertion point anywhere in the URL and hit CTL-U to delete the whole thing. You didn't have to select the whole thing, thus replacing whatever you had in your X clipboard.
Now whenever I hit CTL-U Firefox displays the source of the page.
