I use Mozilla 1.8a1 on Mac OS X 10.3.4. Not sure when it was introduced
(perhaps version 1.6 or so), but I have a strange display problem with
some images since a few releases. It seems to happen to GIFs with
transparency only, but not to all of them. These images seem to be ...

I wanted to try thunderbird-0.6-macosx, but have been having difficulties.
I can download thunderbird-0.6-macosx.dmg.gz, and unzip it; but
thunderbird-0.6-macosx.dmg fails to mount. The message is "no mountable
file systems"

The scroll down arrow is missing on my Mozilla 1.6 and it's a pain.
On the right-hand side, I have the slider bar, below it is the
up-arrow and below that is a tiny slot that acts as a down-arrow (and
turns blue) when I click on it.  However, it,s a real hassle to use.

Has anybody gotten this combo to work?
After I installed enigmail (the newest one, 0.84.0) ... the one that says is compatible w/ TBird .6, it kept crashing on restart.
So I followed the 'worst case scenario' instructions and removed my XUL.mfasl file ... restarted tbird a gain and ...

Hey folks,
I'm interested in finding the time to get my hands dirty w/ Moz and somehow get Apple Address book Integration support for Tbird .. I looked around on this forum and the netscape.publice.mozilla.macosx for any hint/clue that maybe someone may have started this or this ...

with Version 1.7 and higher (RC1 and RC2) I got on some WebPages
some GIFs which are not displayed correctly.
They look like if they are interlaced, but in the GraphicConverter they
would be displayed correctly.

I've been using Thunderbird/Firefox on a Windows XP machine and want to
transfer mail, address book, and bookmarks to my recently obtained G4 Mac.
I'm running T'bird/Firefox on OSX (Panther) on a small home network. I'm
guessing I could simply copy the appropriate folders either ...

I've just tried the X11 version of Firefox for Mac OS X.
I was amazed about how faster this version is !
It launch fast and most of all, the scrolling of web sites is faster
than light while "native" version is slow as a turtle. In a way, it is

I've tried on several occasions to upgrade from Mozilla 1.2.1 to 1.3
(the WaMCom build)? But each time I lose my bookmarks, saved passwords,
cookies, etc. What's the trick to doing the upgrade and carrying over
those items?

    How can I make firebird my default browser (10.2.8)? I select it in sys

I've built Firefox for OS X; I can run it from the Finder. Now I am
interested in running Firefox on an X11 display, but I can't figure out
how to run Firefox in X11. "build/unix/run-mozilla.sh" can't be right:
it complains:

In Netscape, I can find a preference folder in the system
folder, and locate what I need for backing up mail.  However,
in Mozilla, there doesn't seem to be any such preference folder
in anything called a system folder. (I'm a novice at OS X) How

I want to know if it is possible to emulate OCX within MOZILLA. I've
developped an OCX using Delphi to manage graphics. Unfortunately, it only
works, of course, with IE on Windows. Now I want to migrate to MOZILLA to be
able for my software to support Mac OSX platforms.

Recently I was having some trouble with my Mozilla 1.5 installation
crashing while web browsing after a long period of good stability and no
problems. I upgraded to Mozilla 1.6 hoping that would help but now the
instability is even worse. Is this any sort of known issue, or how

I'm sorry to repost this. I forgot that there's a separate macosx
newsgroup and posted this to n.p.m.mac.
This might be a silly question. A couple of days ago, I got a new power
mac g5 and  built a debug build successfully. When I launched my build
