Internal and External Firefox Previews Do Not Match
WeBuilder 9.2.0.100
If I use the Firefox preview right in the program and changes are NOT reflected there, then launch a preview in external Firefox and changes ARE reflected there, what setting(s) do I have that are all messed up? It's as if there is an internal cache for Firefox that's not being flushed whenever a changes is made and the preview is launched again.
The built in IE preview seems to be doing just fine and matches a preview in external IE.
Thanks.

Re: Internal and External Firefox Previews Do Not Match
When viewing the Firefox preview, are you pressing F5 to kick off a refresh? It may not be refreshing automatically.
Please note that there will also be a discrepancy between the Firefox preview in the application and the 'real' Firefox. This is not down to WeBuilder, but the out-of-date control distributed by Mozilla.
(ie, the preview control will render things differently to Firefox)

Mozilla control is no more supported and since it is a third party software, we can not do much about, it comes as is. The authors seem to have dropped the project.

XURLRunner instead of the old Mozilla control
This might be something to look into. It can be used for embedding Mozilla Gecko in applications.

Could this lead to using Firebug within Webuilder?Cary wrote:This might be something to look into. It can be used for embedding Mozilla Gecko in applications.
