Subject:   SEC: UNCLASSIFIED:-    Firefox ver 0.9

Hi all

Last night I installed the latest Firefox version 0.9

All seemed to work ok except the security is missing.
        No access to secure sites and the security messages everywhere.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

I was under the impression that SSL was part of the base product.

Or is it enabled in the preferences.

I'll find out when I get home tonight.

I have to go, I've just been informed that they are going to close down 
the network in my building.

Hasta la vista

Dennis.

Subject:   Firefox ver 0.9 problem resolved

I've just fixed the system

I created a new home for my profiles on the e: drive where all my 
Internet stuff is.
e:\Home\Default
Copied across the thunderbird profile directories and files to 
e:\Home\Default
Changed the Environment variable in config.sys to refer to the new 
profile location

SET MOZILLA_HOME=e:\home\default
SET MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=e:\Plugins

Rebooted and problem solved.

It created a new clean profile and whatever was defeating SSL is now gone.

There is a new Thunderbird too, but I'll wait a week before installing it.

I still can't have firebird and firefox running at the same time, even 
though I could in ver 0.8.

Maybe when I install the new thunderbird that will be resolved.

Regards

Dennis.

Like with all current builds of Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird, you need to download
the LIBC libraries separately from the Innotek website:  http://www.innotek.de

Subject:  Re:  FireFox/2 .9 IPCDC->XPCOM crash Re:  SEC: UNCLASSIFIED:-         Firefox ver 0.9

I just checked my popuplog.os2 and found I had one of the same errors 
when I first tried firefox 0.9. What I had done was tried to run it 
whilst I had Mozilla running and I think this is what caused the problem 
for me.

When I re-tried it without Mozilla running it installed / configured 
properly and ran. The few times I have tried it since have not given me 
any errors. I would like to use it more often but I want to move my mail 
to thunderbird but have not been successful so far and so I have stayed 
with Mozilla.

Otherwise I don't know what else could be causing the problem.

regards
Ken

Subject:  Re:  Thunderbird 0.7

Kinda related to Dennis's thread :P

Anyone else having problems upgrading from Thunderbird 0.6 to 0.7??

When I load it it's wanting to create a new profile rather than use my 
existing profile.

Haven't had time yet to sort this out :(

Can't use newsgroups at the moment as I'm in Rome in an Internet cafe - 
thankfully they have ethernet cords for laptops so I can use thunderbird 
rather than webmail :P

Cheers,

Paul.

Subject:   USB Memory stick and Firebird

While reading all I could find about firefox 0.9 I came across the claim 
that it could be installed onto a USB memory stick and run even though 
the host computer did not have firefox installed.

If anyone has one of these USB memory sticks and attempts installing 
Firefox on it I for one would be interested in hearing how successfull 
it is.

Regards

Dennis.
