Two questions about Firefox preview

Post by FrankC »

Hi,

I have two questions about setting up the Firefox preview.

1. From http://www.blumentals.net/download/mozilla.php one can download two ActiveX Control files. Is it so that if one first has installed v. 1.9.0.5, v. 1.9.1.19 wants to install itself inside the 1.9.0.5 folder or as 1.9.0.5?
2. Mozilla has released a new XULRunner file, seemingly containing the FF 6 engine(!). See http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla ... /releases/. But installing that, in its own folder or inside the ActiveX Control folder, does not send the internal WB preview into 6 mode, even if one has 6 installed as normal-use browser. Does it have to be installed in a different way, or is that not compatible with WB?

I talked to Webuilder team the other day and they said that 1.9 is the last compatible version - the new ones can't be integrated like that (there are other ways for integration but they are targeted for specific development environments that are not compatible with Webuilder code). Having said that, they will keep looking for ways to solve this, just that there is not an easy or known way to do this using the current integration method, otherwise they would have updated the downloadable ActiveX control a while ago.

Thanks, Aivars.

Actually, the 3.5 preview that I have running now will do just fine for the time being, because 3.5 supports the three biggest improvements in CSS: @font-face, rounded corners and box shadow. And the visual formatting rendering is reliably standards-compliant. I was just wondering whether Mozilla had released something that folks at WB didn't know about yet.

Its good to know that you are on it.
