  • 81711 dialog warning for theme switch.      Fixed by Ben's fix for 84344. Thanks Ben!
    
• Samir Gehani
  • Moved new basic search mode from ns tree to mozilla and designed mechanism to keep both ns and mozilla happy.
  • Chased down an HTTP/gz stream converter bug that caused google result-related problems: turned out Darin fixed it just when we found the problem.
  • Started triaging preferences bugs (took over bugzilla ownership from mcafee).
  • Fixed search sidebar tab redisplay bug when adding tabs through the customize sidebar dialog.
  • Poked my head in occasionally while Sean and Syd were dealing with the installer "beta1.1" firedrill.
  • Mozilla wants the basic search mode sidebar panel work so we'll use the notion of version instead of tagging to constrain the new basic pulldown list and make mozilla's min version be 0.0 and all the plugins will have no version tag so they'll default to 1.0 making all plugins show up in mozilla's list.
    
• Steve Morse
  • 85300: form manager dialog busted since going into region packs. ftang backed out his faulty fix and came up with a good fix. I tested it and checked it in for him

  • 86181: allow l10n to selectively hide form-manager panels. this replaces 85299 et al.
  • 84664: double clicking mozilla.exe should open new window. took this over from Bill, fixed patch that had bitrotted
  • 76485: support.microsoft.com doesn't load on WinME. wasted a lot of time trying to reproduce on selmer's ME machine. couldn't get the network to work on that machine. finally used machine in q/a lab. problem turned out to be one of evangelism
