Moz 1.4 RC1 for Windows blew up on my 98 box

Post #105,907 by orion 6/12/03 9:17:04 PM Reply	Moz 1.4 RC1 for Windows blew up on my 98 box so I went back to 1.3 of Mozilla. Not sure why, but it gave me a GPF whenever it went to launch the 1.4 RC1 browser. *"If you're going to cheat, cheat fair. If there's anything I hate it's a crooked crook!" -Moe Howard*

Hey - you know more about this crap than I do: Use It! Nuke cache before shutdown 1.3 Since it's Doze, I'd just reboot - since it's indeterminate what else might be in RAM. Go into 1.4 files: Find cook.perm.txt and rename however you like. Launch 1.4 - does it work? I haven't perused lots of other files that are deemed user data, saved - and might also bring a bad legacy number into the various .js prefs. (I haven't even bothered to sleuth just How this file is used) But if perchance the above simple change Does make a difference on YAN box, it's worth knowing by Bugzilla. Send a report to My Bug, then.

See - two simple tests and You Help. So far, my 1.4rc1 is performing fine - since. (And without yet reinstalling into a new Profile) The added bookmark capabilities are welcome (here, anyway). Ashton

I tried clearing the cache, using a different profile, rebooting, removed the cookies, etc. A bug report was filed. I am sticking with 1.3 on 98 for now until the next Mozilla release when I hope it fixes the problem. *"If you're going to cheat, cheat fair.

Post #106,163 by Ashton 6/15/03 3:26:54 AM Reply	Ummm... I appreciate the mememory-thing, so I can't walk in your moccasins - But - since the first paeans of ecstasy about Moz, right chere in River City: the point of Not overlaying a previous install has been mentioned 3-5x, and at Moz under Release Notes. You Knew This! (Hell, even I knew this) - you always type-in a New Directory on install. And moz next-step asks, "Shall I make a new directory?" Huh huh? Anyway, nice that it works now. rc2 is due yesterday. I suppose I'll wait for Gold. Have you noted the bookmark handling yet? Under, "Manage Bookmarks" - snazzy new window at top which starts searching on the first character typed. (Mine's > 1.5 MB) When I find out where to send, anon: I want to suggest that a Search on "names given to separators" (another new feature) return the collection of links below - instead of the usual list of individual entries matching the mask, wherever found (But not.. the other links you grouped together, and whose names you have forgotten). Ah Progress - the largest of illusions. Ashton

I like the bookmark search feature, my bookmarks used to be big, until I had a hard disk error that destroyed my bookmarks file and the recovery gave me 90% junk and I was left with just 10% of my bookmarks. One of the ideas I had was for a bookmark management software, sort of like your own personal search engine, but I never worked out the details beyond analysis. It would store URLs in a database, and then you could search by description, keywords, type of site (COM, ORG, NET, GOV, EDU, etc), etc. Sort of like your own personal Yahoo or Google with categories, and the program would open up the web site in your favorite browser. *"If you're going to cheat, cheat fair.
