Firefox 6.0.2 - Bookmarks dialog missing
« on: September 28, 2011, 12:01:32 PM »
Using  Firefox 6.0.2, when I try and bookmark a page the bookmark dialog does not come up.

Anyone else notice this strange behavior?
Anyone seeing the bookmarks dialog with Firefox 6.0.2?

Using TC 4.0, Xorg, JWM

It is working fine here, with firefox.tcz version 6.0.2.

Traced the problem to Xorg-7.4.  When I booted without Xorg-7.4, firefox bookmarks dialog worked.

Tried Xorg-7.5...firefox bookmarks dialog worked....

For some reason, in TC v4...using Xorg-7.4 caused problems for me on two different computers with different video cards??

Xorg 7.4 is about 3 years old software. Is there any reason to use it instead of 7.5 (or preferably 7.6 when on 4.x)?

Personally I do not see any reason to use 7.4 On my machines 7.6 works fine so even 7.5 is no used. Is there anything missing in 7.6 compared to 7.5?

No, all three builds should be full-featured. 7.6 has some issues with Intel 3d though.

Means keep 7.5 and drop 7.4

As long as they all work, I don't see why 7.4 should be dropped - there just may be some old device with drivers only for that version, etc.

I went back and tried Tc version 3.8.4, Xorg-7.4 and Firefox 6.0.2....and did not see the problems I saw using Tc version 4.0.  For me at least...it seems Tc version 4.0 and Xorg-7.4 have an issue..  For what it's worth, a custom financial  program  I run, also had display problems with Tc version 4.0 and Xorg-7.4 that did not occur when using Xorg-7.5.
