Hi All, Hope your Christmas was great and wishing you all a "Happy New Year"8-) Yes a bit late, but ... And Voytek, It's been a while but I have missed your once-regular "Merry Christmas" email which I think hasn't been sent out for a couple of years. I know it's kinda late but, would you be able to indulge at all?? I used to get quite a chuckle out of it.

Try Firefox then :) Thanks for suggestions. I've now removed all those plugins, also run the eComStation Maintenance Tool to get updates, and installed a new video driver. None of these solved the cascading window problem, but cleaning up the plugins has probably done some good in other directions. It's also possible that the new video driver has improved drawing screen, because the Firefox crash happens a bit faster. The only remedy left, it seems, is to search through old Firefox versions until I get to the one that doesn't have the crash. This will probably take me right back to version 4. Not that would be a huge backlevelling. It must have been about about version 3 or 4 that the Mozilla people suddenly started accelerating the version numbers, so version 10 probably really means something like 4.2. -- Peter Moylan peter at pmoylan dot org http://www.pmoylan dot org -------------------------------------------------- === **= Email 6 ==========================** Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2013 22:08:22 +1100 From: Peter Moylan Subject: Re: Firefox problem On 05/01/13 00:18, Ian Manners wrote: > Your also using the latest libc065 files from Netlabs ? > > libc-0_6_5-csd5.wpi (Second late file) > at Oh, yes, and I also looked after that. I already had the zipfile release of that, but just to touch all bases I've downloaded and installed the wpi version, which is dated a couple of days later.

And (I know, but I have to ask) .. Your plugins directory is the one refered to by "SET MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=" in your config.sys file ? If you dont use that SET statement then your plugin's directory is the one hanging off \firefox\ from memory, or was that changed to the profile directory ? If your zapping your firefox directory before installing a new one then it will normally be empty anyway.

I keep a separate directory for each version. This is not the first time I've had to back up to an earlier version, so I don't throw them away until I'm absolutely certain that I've backlevelled far enough. At the moment my D:\mozilla dot org directory has 14 subdirectories of firefox versions and 7 directories of Thunderbird versions. Oh, and one of SeaMonkey. I gave up on that after only a short trial. > And (I know, but I have to ask) .. > > Your plugins directory is the one refered to by "SET > MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=" in your config.sys file ? I was about to confidently say that I solved that problem long ago, by having a D:\MOZPROFILES directory that holds all that sort of stuff. But I'm glad I double-checked. Some installer at some time has changed my preferences and put the profiles in D:\PROGRAMS\MOZ_PLUG. I've now changed it back. And, just for safety, I've deleted everything in that MOZ_PLUG directory, because sooner or later some idiot installer is going to come and put things in that \PROGRAMS directory that I never wanted in the first place. Despite all your suggestions, Firefox still crashes, so tomorrow it's time to download a few older versions. > PS, thanks for the imap :) I had to release an update, even though I know it will only trigger new demands from Massimo. -- Peter Moylan peter at pmoylan dot org http://www.pmoylan dot org -------------------------------------------------- ===
