How To Get Involved With Mozilla

Where To Find Other Builds

What's New In This Release

• MathML is now enabled by default on those platforms that support it, including Windows and Unix. MathML is the W3C specification for describing mathematics on the web. To properly display MathML you need to install special math fonts that are not installed by default on most systems. If you are reading this with Mozilla 0.9.9, take a look at this MathML sample which should look fine without these fonts.
• The JavaScript debugger, (aka Venkman) can now profile JavaScript in web content and browser chrome. Select Profile->Collect Profile Data to start profiling, execute the script you'd like to profile, and select Profile->Save Profile Data As... to save it. Statistics are collected for every function executed while profiling is enabled, and include total, maximum, minimum, and average time spent executing the function, and total number of calls. Supported output formats are HTML, CSV, and plain text. Sample profile output is available here. Be sure to start the debugger before loading the scripts you're going to profile.
• Mozilla now supports TrueType fonts on Unix using the FreeType2 library. This works on all X servers with a TrueColor visual (ie: a 15/16/24/32 bit frame buffer). This is enabled on Linux i386, Solaris, HP-UX and some other Unixes. Read these directions on setting up TrueType support in Mozilla.
• Greatly improved View-> Page Info dialog.
• Mozilla now supports SOAP.
• You now have the option of installing plugins in your Mozilla user directory ($HOME/.mozilla/plugins on Unix). These plugins are loaded in addition to those in your Mozilla install directory.
• Mozilla has a new Page Setup dialog and the Print Preview window now has a toolbar.
• Mozilla on Microsoft Windows now has a full screen mode.
• Speed improvements for the Sparc Solaris build.
• The BeOS port now supports SSL and has gfx speed improvements.
• Mozilla has a new method for disabling popup and popunder windows. It is now possible to disable the JavaScript window.open() method when it is not called as a result of a mouse click. When the dom.disable_open_click_delay pref is set to a nonzero number, window.open will fail when called more than that number of milliseconds after a mouse click. Setting this pref (instructions here) should turn off pop-up and pop-under ads that use the onload handler of <img> tags to work around our previous window.open() filter. (Bug 92955)
  
  user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000);
• Mozilla's zlib library contins the fix for the zlib vulnerability. Note that some builds such as the Red Hat RPMs use the sytem zlib library and you will need to update this library separately. See the Red Hat Linux Errata Advisory.
• The recycled mail compose window was turned on by default which greatly improves new message and reply performance.
• A new mail notification appears in the Windows System tray.
• Mozilla now supports the use of socks proxies for mailnews. The value entered in prefs-> advanced-> proxies-> socks host will be used for this. You must ensure that this field is left blank unless you require a socks proxy. If that field contains an entry that is not actually a socks proxy, then you will receive an error about connection being refused to your mail server. If you use a socks proxy and want to read mail from a site that the socks proxy does not have access to (such as localhost), you need to manually exclude those site(s) from being proxied by adding it to the "no proxy for" pref.
• LDAP directories appear in the address book.
• The address book now has an advanced search dialog.
• IMAP Shared Folders is finished with the exception of being able to click on an imap url to subscribe to one.
• The delete key now toggles the deleted state for the IMAP delete model.
• Improvements to the MailNews UI when reading signed and encrypted S/Mime messages.

New Additions To The Release Notes

• Liveconnect on macintosh is busted. (Bug 129250)
• The RedHat 7.2 TrueType Japanese fonts package has the "Arial" bold italic font aliased to a Japanese font that looks very bad on Western pages. See Red Hat's errata for more details and an updated version of the font package that does not have this problem. (Bug 114705)

JavaScript Debugger

• Profile data cannot be saved as HTML on the Mac. If you see the error message "Cant match <!--@range-start-->", you're running into this problem. As a workaround, save as a CSV file and import into a spreadsheet, or save as plain text. (Bug 130050)
• Trying to save profile data when there is none to be saved results in the cryptic error message "summary has no properties". See bug 129692.
• Line numbers are sometimes incorrect in scripts contained in HTML files. (Bug bug 111576)

Compatibility Information

Visiting SSL2 and SSL3 sites while in FIPS mode may lead to a crash or failure to connect. (Bugs 106587)

Windows

If you have the Crescendo 5.01 plug-in, you must update to the latest version of Crescendo. Otherwise, Mozilla may crash at startup. (Bug 48110)

Mac OS

If you have version 4.5 (or earlier) of StuffIt Expander, you may see an error message stating that the archive is corrupted. You can ignore the message and continue with the installation. To get a newer version of StuffIt Expander, go to http://www.aladdinsys.com/expander/expander_mac_login.html

If you attempt to run Mozilla on Mac OS using a language pack (such as the Japanese Language Pack) and a Language Kit, all menu bar items will be incorrectly displayed. To resolve this problem, register Mozilla using the Language Register. For instance, if you're using the Japanese Language Pack and the Japanese Language Kit, register Mozilla as a JA application.

If you use the SmoothType control panel instead of Apple's "Smooth all fonts on screen" option in the Appearance control panel, you need SmoothType version 2.1.1 for Mozilla . Mozilla is not compatible with earlier versions of SmoothType, and some pages may be improperly drawn. To get an update, go to http://www.kaleidoscope.net/greg/smoothtype.html.

Linux

Mozilla requires glibc 2.1 or later. (Bug 44787)

If you have Red Hat Linux 6.0, you can't launch Mozilla if Java 2 is installed. The problem doesn't occur with Red Hat 6.1 or higher. (Bug 58259)

For Red Hat Linux 7, you must install the Standard C++ libraries for Red Hat 6.x compatibility. Get the package from the Red Hat 7 installation CD or download it from Red Hat. (Bug 59012)

Redhat 7 users who have problems with Java hanging should try setting the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to "2.2.5". (Bug 84093)

To run Mozilla on SuSe Linux 6.2, you must install the libjpeg.so.62 file available here.

Solaris

To install Mozilla on Solaris8 (64 bit), you must first install libstdc++. Download the Sun Netscape 6 install package and install libstdc++ from that package before installing or running Mozilla . In addition the following patches from http://sunsolve.sun.com need to be installed: 109147-09, 108434-02 108435-02. (Bug 68604)

IRIX

When using a window manager from the twm family without the DecorateTransients option, popup windows such as Find, Save and Preferences will not function. To work around, set the DecorateTransients option in the window manager's rc file. (Bug 78928)

Installation Notes

Install into a new empty directory. Installing on top of previously installed builds may cause problems.

Windows Users: If you get the message, "uninstall.exe file is linked to missing export shell32.dll", delete %TEMP%\ns_temp.

Multi-user installs: To install Mozilla for multiple users on Unix, install as normal, then create the following script in your Mozilla directory, make it executable (chmod u+x <scriptname>), and run it as root.

#!/bin/sh 
dist_bin=`dirname $0`
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$dist_bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dist_bin
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$dist_bin/regxpcom
$dist_bin/regchrome
touch $dist_bin/chrome/user-skins.rdf $dist_bin/chrome/user-locales.rdf

When you install language packs and other .xpi files, downloading pauses until you click the browser's Stop button.

If you receive the message 'The program must close to allow a previous installation to complete' when launching, it means that file cleanup after an additional installation has not completed.

Suggested workarounds:

1. In most cases, waiting a few additional seconds after the program exits will allow the cleanup process to complete and allow you to launch.
   
2. Occasionally the installation process is waiting for another program to release a file the cleanup process needs. You may need to shut down other programs or reboot the computer to allow the installation process to complete.
   

Windows and Mac OS: It is strongly recommended that you exit all programs before running the setup program. Also, you should temporarily disable virus-detection software.

Mac OS: Mozilla will not run when the application is installed on a UFS partition. The workaround is to move the application folder to an HFS+ partition and it will
run correctly.

Mac OS: You should not restart your system with all extensions off before running Mozilla installation.

Java

Windows and Linux: To run Java applets, you must install the Java Run Time Environment (JRE) plug-in. When using installer builds, everything should Just Work without any help.

See the Java section for more details about Java version compatibility.

Windows: If you're using the Installer build and you already have JRE 1.3.0_01 on your system Mozilla should recognize it. If it doesn't recognize it then follow the copy instructions for the zip builds.

If you're using the win32.zip or talkback.zip builds After the JRE is installed on your machine, copy NPJava130_01.dll, NPJava130_01a.dll, NPJava130_01b.dll, NPJava130_01c.dll, and NPOJI610.dll from the install directory (something like C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_01\bin) to your Mozilla plugins directory (something like C:\Program Files\ Mozilla 0.9.9 \bin\plugins).

Linux With tar.gz builds on Linux, after the JRE has installed, put a symlink in your mozilla0.9.9 /plugins directory to the java2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjava.oji.so directory.

With Linux RPM builds, you must install Java as the root user.

You may need to press the Stop button for the installation process to complete.

Mac OS: You must have Mac OS Runtime for Java (MRJ) version 2.2 to run Java applets with Mozilla . If you have Mac OS version 8.5 through 8.6, you may need to upgrade your version of MRJ. For an upgrade, go to the Apple MRJ update download page.

Security

Windows, Mac and Linux: Personal Security Manager (PSM) provides security (cryptographic) features for Mozilla .

Installing on Windows

Installing Java with low disk space may cause the Installer to hang. (Bug 45067) Before you begin installing Mozilla with Java, be sure to check your disk space (see System Requirements.)

To install Mozilla by downloading the Mozilla installer, follow these steps:

1. Click the mozilla-win32-installer.exe link to download the file to your machine.
2. Navigate to where you downloaded the file and double-click the Mozilla program icon on your machine to begin the Setup program.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions in the setup program. The program starts automatically the first time.

To install Mozilla by downloading the .zip file and installing manually, follow these steps:

1. Click the mozilla-win32-talkback.zip link or the mozilla-win32.zip link to download the .zip file to your machine.
2. Navigate to where you downloaded the file and double-click the compressed file. Note: This step assumes you already have a recent version of WinZip installed, and that you know how to use it. If not, you can get WinZip and information about the program at www.winzip.com.
3. Extract the .zip file to a directory such as C:/Program Files/ Mozilla 0.9.9 .
4. To start Mozilla , navigate to the directory you extracted Mozilla to and double-click the Mozilla.exe icon.

Installing on Mac OS

Note: If the downloaded file does not expand automatically you must expand the file using a program such as StuffIt Expander. Expander ships with all new Macs and comes with the default system install, so you may want to do a find in Sherlock for "StuffIt" to make sure that you don't already have it installed.

You can get StuffIt Expander from Aladdin Systems.

If you do already have Expander, you need to set it to start by default. See the immediately preceding URL for info on using Expander.

To install Mozilla by downloading the Mozilla installer, (recommended) follow these steps:

1. Click the MacMozillaInstaller.sea.bin link to download it to your machine. By default, the download file is downloaded to your desktop compressed in .bin format. A Mozilla Installer folder is created.
2. Double-click the Mozilla Installer folder in the Finder.
3. Double-click the Mozilla Installer icon.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
5. To start Mozilla , open the folder where you installed Mozilla and double-click the Mozilla icon.

To install Mozilla by downloading the archive file and installing manually, follow these steps:

1. Click the mozilla-mac-*.sea.bin link to download the Mozilla binary to your machine. By default, the download file is downloaded to your desktop compressed in .sit.bin format.
2. Double-click the mozilla-mac-*.sea.sit.bin icon on your desktop.
3. Choose the directory where you want to install Mozilla .
4. To start Mozilla , open the folder where you installed Mozilla and double-click the Mozilla icon.

Installing on Linux

If the Mozilla installer dies immediately with the error message "getcwd: Function not implemented", then download a Mozilla tarball build instead. (Bug 101016)

You must run Mozilla at least once to complete autoregistration and for the component.reg file to be written to the installation directory. If a different user (other than the person who installed the product) runs the program first, a core dump will occur. (Bug 49345)

Note: To run Java applets, you must install the Java Run Time Environment (JRE) v1.3 plug-in.

Note: These instructions use the bash shell. If you're not using bash, adjust the commands accordingly.

To install Mozilla by downloading the Mozilla installer, follow these steps:

1. Create a directory named mozilla (mkdir mozilla0.9.9 ) and change to that directory (cd mozilla0.9.9 ).
2. Click the link to download the installer file (called mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz).
3. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla0.9.9 ) and decompress the archive with the following command:
   gunzip -dc moz*.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
(This places the installer in a subdirectory of Mozilla named mozilla-installer.)
   
4. Change to the mozilla-installer directory (cd mozilla-installer) and run the installer with the ./mozilla-installer command.
5. Follow the instructions in the install wizard for installing Mozilla .
   
   Note: If you have a slower machine, be aware that the installation may take some time. In this case, the installation progress may appear to hang indefinitely, even though the installation is still in process.
   
6. To start Mozilla , change to the directory where you installed it and run the ./mozilla command.

To install Mozilla by downloading the .tar.gz archive file:

1. Create a directory named " mozilla0.9.9 " (mkdir mozilla0.9.9 ) and change to that directory (cd mozilla0.9.9 ).
2. Click the link to download the non-installer mozilla*.tar.gz file into the mozilla0.9.9 directory.
3. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla0.9.9 ) and decompress the file with the following command:
   gunzip -dc moz*.tar.gz | tar -xvf - (This creates a "mozilla" subdirectory under your mozilla0.9.9 directory.)
   
4. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla).
5. Run Mozilla with the ./mozilla run script.

To hook up Mozilla complete with icon to the GNOME Panel, follow these steps:

1. Click the GNOME Main Menu button, open the Panel menu, and then open the Add to Panel submenu and choose Launcher.
2. Right-click the icon for Mozilla on the Panel and enter the following command:
   
   directory_name./mozilla
   
   where directory_name is the name of the directory you downloaded Mozilla to. For example, the default directory that Mozilla suggests is /usr/local/mozilla.
   
3. Type in a name for the icon, and type in a comment if you wish.
4. Click the icon button and type in the following as the icon's location:
   
   directory_name/icons/mozicon50.xpm
   
   where directory_name is the directory where you installed Mozilla . For example, the default directory is /usr/local/mozilla/icons/mozicon50.xpm.

Installing RPM builds: The Red Hat RPM builds are created to work with the default Red Hat 6.x and Red Hat 7.x installations. Using these RPMs on Suse requires installation of the gdk-pixbuf package. (Bug 85218)

Uninstalling Mozilla

Linux

• Remove the mozilla0.9.9 directory where you installed Mozilla


• Remove the ~/.mozilla directory, which contains profile information

Windows

• Go to Settings/Control Panel/Add Remove Programs and choose Mozilla 0.9.9

Mac OS

• Remove the folder Mozilla from the Documents folder
• Remove the file "Mozilla Registry" from the System Folder | Preferences folder
• Remove the file "Mozilla Versions" from the System Folder | Preferences folder
• Remove the folder where you installed Mozilla

Files Created or Used

*Note: "cookperm.txt" ("cookperm" on Unix) is a file used to selectively accept cookies from certain sites and not from others. It is used only if you set your preferences so that you see a warning before accepting cookies. To do that, set the following pref (instructions here):

• user_pref ("network.cookie.rememberAboutCookies", true);

Known Problems

General

Windows: Mozilla's Classic theme has problems minimizing windows on some Microsoft Windows systems. The workaround is to 'minimize all windows' in a context click on the Windows taskbar. After this the minimize behavior should be normal. Another workaround is to use the Modern theme. (Bug 120155)

Mac OS: There is a known incompatibility between Mozilla and WebFree, a Control Panel commonly used to block HTML-based ads. When using Mozilla , disable WebFree. (Bug 13982)

Keyboard and Mouse

Double right-clicking on a page can disable the keyboard. (Bug 70812)

Linux: Keyboard shortcuts on Linux now use Ctrl instead of Alt as the modifier key, while Alt is used for menu shortcuts. If you wish to modify these shortcut keys, add the following prefs (instructions here):

user_pref("ui.key.accelKey", 18);
(This changes the accelerator key from Ctrl (17) to Alt (18).)

user_pref("ui.key.menuAccessKey", 0);
(This changes the menu access key from Alt (18) to none.)

Linux: Middle-mouse clicking in areas without links may lead to alerts popping up. (Bug 96972)

Event Handling

Mouse wheel scrolling

Linux: You must have your X server properly configured to enable mousewheel scrolling. For XFree86, add a line to the Pointer section of your XF86Config files such as "ZAxisMapping 4 5". Also be sure that the Protocol line is set up correctly for your mouse.

Windows: Mousewheel scrolling does not work with all drivers. If you have problems, try updating your driver or disabling any "helper" programs that your mouse uses.

Mac OS: Mousewheel scrolling does not work with all drivers. If you have problems, try updating your driver or disabling any "helper" programs that your mouse uses.

(Mac OS 9.x ) Scroll wheel support for Kensington input devices requires Kensington MouseWorks 5.7 or higher. Version 5.7 is not yet shipping as of this writing; please check the Kensington website for updates.

Dialog Boxes and Windows

If Mozilla is locked up but doesn't seem to have crashed, make sure there are no dialog boxes still open. Close each window on your desktop one at a time and if you uncover a dialog window, dismiss it. If you have multiple desktops, repeat these steps for each desktop.

This problem may affect Linux users downloading plugins. Follow these steps to resolve the problem:

1. Minimize the plugin download window.
2. Click "Cancel" to dismiss the dialog box.
3. Re-open the download window and continue downloading the plugin.

Form Manager

Form Manager is not fully implemented in the Japanese version of Mozilla .

Fonts

Many Linux systems (in particular, Red Hat Linux systems) have bad Arial fonts. (Bug 46415) If many Web pages, especially those using the Arial font, look unclear, small, or hard to read, the following links explain two ways you can change your font server to get better Arial fonts:

http://home.c2i.net/dark/linux.html#ttf
http://home.c2i.net/dark/linux.html#fuzzy

If that doesn't work, you may be able to fix the problem by renaming or removing /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2. For instance, enter the following command:

and then log out of Linux and log back in again. You can always undo this, if necessary, by entering the following command:

Proxies

Mozilla needs to be configured to work properly with proxies such as Junkbuster that do not support the most recent HTTP specification. By default, Mozilla tries to use HTTP 1.1. To use Mozilla with a proxy that only supports HTTP 1.0, edit the HTTP Version from 1.1 to 1.0 in Edit | Preferences | Debug | Networking. (Bug 38488)

Mozilla only accepts hostnames for manual proxies. If you migrate a Communicator 4 profile, you will need to change the settings manually. (Bug 30387) \

Setting Profiles

If you have a single profile from Communicator version 4.5 or later, that profile is automatically copied and converted for use with Mozilla . Profiles from earlier Netscape versions cannot be converted.

If you have multiple profiles to copy and convert, the profile manager dialog box appears. Click the profile you want to use and then click Start.

If problems occur during installation and your Communicator profile was not copied and converted, you can still use your profile. Launch Mozilla from the command line, adding the "-installer" option (that is, type "mozilla.exe-installer" on the command line) , or re-install Mozilla to see the profile manager dialog again.

Navigator

Additional Internet Search Engines can be obtained at http://mycroft.mozdev.org/

The "View Frame Source" feature is not available from the View menu; however, it is available in the context menu. To see the context menu, click the left mouse button to put the mouse pointer in the frame and then click the ri ght mouse button (Control-click on the Mac OS). (Bug 47139)

Pages that appear to be rendered incorrectly may be due to standards compliance issues. See the Netscape Evangelism site for more details.

If an XSL stylesheet inserts a processing instruction for a CSS stylesheet Mozilla will not load the stylesheet when rendering the page. (Bug 53030)

Windows: Printing in WordPerfect 2002 while Mozilla is running opens many browser windows. Workaround: close Mozilla before printing from WordPerfect 2002. A WordPerfect user has created macros to automate this. (Bug 87788)

Printing web pages may not print out all pages due to table pagination problems. (Bugs 87374)

Mac and Linux: Transparent backgrounds are printed as black. (Bug 12037)

Printing newsgroup messages with images leads to a crash. (Bug 92659)

Accessing Pages

Mozilla may not be able to connect to some secure (https) IBM Web servers. This is a problem with the servers' software, not with Mozilla . (Bug 54031)

If you use "Last page visited" as your Home (starting) page, if the last page you viewed had frames, it may not be displayed correctly when you next restart Mozilla . (Bug 58613)

Accessing pages on a network requires 5 slashes (file://///). (Bug 66194)

Windows: Double browser window appears when opening an html or image document from the Windows environment. (Bug 59078)

Linux: Flash may crash with exported X display. (Bug 58937)

Linux: On Linux, there may be problems with ESD Audio and Flash. (Bugs 85772)

Downloading Files

Hourglass cursor, progress meter, and throbber do not stop spinning although downloading has been finished. Status bar says "Transferring data from ..." when page is done loading. (Bug 39310)

1. Open the Edit menu, and choose Preferences. Choose Helper Applications within the Navigator category.
2. Select the helper application/mimetype you wish to remove from the list, and click the Remove button.
3. Click OK to confirm.
4. Click OK to dismiss the Preferences dialog box.
5. Quit completely and restart Mozilla .

1. Open the Edit menu, and choose Preferences. Choose Helper Applications within the Navigator category.
2. Click the "Reset" button.
3. Click "OK" to dismiss the Preferences dialog box.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks cannot be rearranged if you have sorted them. To rearrange them, select Unsorted from the View menu, or click the Name column header until the arrow disappears. (Bug 64768)

View Source

To view frame source, point to the frame and click the right mouse button (Control-click on Mac OS) and then choose View Frame Source from the context menu. (Bug 47319)

Page content generated by an online form isn't correctly reflected in the view source window.

Mac OS: The horizontal scrollbar in the View Source window might be missing. Resize the window to see the scrollbar. (Bug 56488)

Mail and News

In plaintext mail and mail subject headers, the Euro character (€) may be represented by its official transliteration, "EUR". This happens when the message is encoded with a charset such as ISO-8859-1 which does not support the Euro character. To ensure the proper transmission of the Euro character, set the character encoding of your message to Western (ISO-8859-15), Unicode (UTF-8) or another encoding which supports the Euro character. For a more detailed explanation, read this news article for more. See bug 109342 for the discussion on which encoding should be the default encoding for users of the Western script.

In the Mail/News Account Settings: Server Settings dialog box, any changes you make to local directory settings won't take effect until you exit and re-start Mozilla . (Bug 2654)

Biff, a feature that automatically checks your server for new mail, works only on the first account and does not work for any other accounts in the same profile. Work around: select each account's inbox once and click on Get message. (Bug 85227)

Mozilla does not warn the user of a low disk space condition. (Bugs 32443, 56565) Some symptoms you may see are:

• Copying a message to your Sent folder fails entirely or may place incomplete copy in Sent folder.
• POP: Status text indicates there are new messages to retrieve, but no new messages appear in the Inbox. Quit Mozilla , free some disk space, re-start Mozilla , and try again.
• IMAP: Status text indicates there are new messages to retrieve, but no new messages appear in the Inbox. Quit Mozilla , free some disk space, re-start Mozilla , and try again.

Mail account identity is not stored along with an unsent message. (Bug 59548)

Linux: You may encounter problems if you install Mozilla in a root user environment then run as another user. Problems include saving to Sent folder, Drafts, Templates or general authentication problems. (Bug 49397)
