cheers m8 just installing it

Jon M · 09-09-2005, 08:51

It also breaks themes, the best available theme for this version is this one IMO : https://addons.mozilla.org/themes/mo...cation=firefox

Initial observations are that this one is a lot quicker on first load and page transitions. Granted a new install often has a placebo effect, but I'll bet you see the improvement too.

Seems to be a bug regarding the quick reply box, even a refresh doesn't fix it

What is the problem, you don't see the box? (I'm using it to type this right now)

No, I see the box I just can't reply into it, all I can do is quote or use the reply button.

I did an upgrade, I'll try a fresh install now, tried refreshing via CTRL+F5. F5 doesn't work either.

I'll try the fresh install and report back

dilli-theclaw · 09-09-2005, 10:08

So, before I uninstall the one I've got now, what's different? And what's 'Deer Park' mean? Is that just a codename like 'Longhorn' was?

Found this on my travels, thought I'd post it as a reference for others

More or less yes, it is just a code name. Not too sure what's different. Have a look a www.mozillazine.org for the news articles they do.

bopdude · 09-09-2005, 10:20

Well that didn't work, in fact its gotten worse, I just had to refresh the post reply page to write this, the quick reply box doesn't respond, not even after F5, CTRL+F5, reload .. any ideas ???

Ok, I'd clear your cache next.

dilli-theclaw · 09-09-2005, 10:37

Well I just tried it - and I have the same problem as bop - so I think I'll reinstall the original one and wait a while.
