Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Tried going to the site and it loads without any problem. Tried scrolling with while a flash object is playing and no browser crash.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

I did the same thing as well, but I noticed that it was when I had flash disabled by default and then enabled it on the page. Otherwise, it's a 100% reproducable crash over here.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

I'm also not able to install the update.

**Edit** appears as though I had deleted the repos. along the way. Woops. Updated and running, though not seeing much of a difference.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Then why was the broken micro-b update REQUIRING it?

Just upgraded now...

EDIT: And it looks like they haven't fixed anything?

Keyboard STILL pops up when trying to scroll using microb and the keyboard still won't stay up when you actually need it.
I think this was more just a lib update/refresh than anything else.
Not even a changelog posted on the microb website, much less any other news about the update directly from the devs themselves in here.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

You answered your own question. It's entirely possible that they use it for debugging purposes.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Odd. I've never heard of debugging a web browser via packet capture before, a webserver yes but a browser no.
I'm going to chalk the whole thing up to a fat-finger mistake.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

i'm seeing how to bring up "set engine" to switch between the 2 browsers...."hidden=true"....BUT not the first step to find .browser file....doing a search of files on my N800 yields no results...thanks in advance for anyone who can make it clear.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

I believe that's been posted several times in this thread already.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Cannot download the update. My Application Manager log tells me:

Failed to fetch http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...-12_armel.deb: Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection.

Should i just keep trying??

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

I've had that EXACT same error before, only with a different .deb file, but now it's working fine.
Seems something is wrong on the server end with that repository for a few people?
I think there was a hack/fix for that, but I can't remember what it was...search aorund in here.

As far as the mssing keyboard goes, looks like they finally got around to showing that bug to an "engineer" with a hope for a fix "tomorrow".

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

They fixed bugs #1696, #1706, #1707 and #1720.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Browser bugs? Actually fixed?! What is this, some kind of voodoo?!

:D

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Lol. Oh, they fixed THOSE bugs. Great, thanks!

Any chance we could get a link or explanation as to what those bugs might be, and what other (major) bugs are left crawling around?

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Bugzilla is your friend.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Well, i did a search but didn't find anything. If you remember what you did to fix it, please post it here.

Edit: I disabled all the repositories except the Nokia ones and the Maemo Extras where MicroBR needs to come from.
Installed without any problems.
I still don't understand the error message though...

Ton.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

They said they fixed the backspace bug which is a plus. I haven't tested that yet. But it seems to be more stable and hasn't crashed yet.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Looks like the "engineer" is on the case with the soft-keyboard popup bug:

Bug #1682

UPDATE: They are also working on bug #1672, the mysterious keyboard-popping-up-when-scrolling-if-there-is-a-text-entry-block-on-the-web-page bug.
Looks like another microb update may be pushed out on Friday to address those two bugs.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Where did you get this info from?

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Before I can download the new browser I need to upgrade to the latest N800 OS but I'm getting the message "No application to open it with"

Anyone help?

Thanks
Steve

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

I've noticed you talking with timeless about this bug on IRC a little while ago. I wanted to tell you that I did NOT restore a backup after reflashing.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

My bad, I wasn't reading the actual DATE on the comment in the bug (19 JUL 07).
Boy, don't I feel like a dumbass now. ;)
So...looks like there WON'T be an update this Friday.
But with those two being two of the more noticeable bugs, I hope they push one out soon with them squashed.
You have to admit though, this type of open beta testing is helping them find bugs a hell of a lot faster than internal testing usually does.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

I should have probably checked this before I installed it, but does anyone know what the improvements are included in the update to the Mozilla browser? I have seen it in my update manager for a few days now, but today it finally installed. I don't see any real changes in the UI, but maybe there is something that I have missed? Any input would be appreciated.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Go back a page or two where I list the bugs that were fixed.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Detailed changelog for the recent update here. :)

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Woo-hoo, they fixed my bugs.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

I don't see mine addressed (having to click inside text boxes twice to get virtual keyboard to come up). Ah well. It's still beta! And I'm glad anyway to see updates. :)

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

I can confirm that this bug is fixed (at least for GMail). I am pretty happy with this update's performance too. It works really well so far.

I am also happy that the first beta release wasn't the only one. Nokia seems to be finally "getting it" with respect to open source development and the "release early, release often" methodology.

Kudos to the MicroB and RTComm (since they had another beta release that improved things a lot too) teams!

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Yea, it a good fix. It did crash once, I dont know why I think it was zooming in but the fix list shows that it was fixed so it could be something else. But crashing once in a few days is acceptable to me compared to what it was doing.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Definitely seems to be operating better, I have been using the MicroB browser exclusively (instead of Opera and switching engines) and I think this is really good. Only had one crash since the update compared to a crash every browsing session before.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Ari Jaaksi says: "The Mozilla-based browser sometimes seems slower than Opera, but it is actually processing all of the AJAX that Opera just throws away." (http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9264384554.html)

Is that AJAX claim true? In general Microdb is still much slower than Opera. I hope they don't drop support for Opera.

And that is annoying when you zoom in Microdb page view jumps to top of the page.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Yes, it processes AJAX, however I think it's still slightly on the slow side because it's still in beta. I wouldn't be surprised if they do drop Opera completely (which is the whole point of Microb - to replace it). Having an open source browser that's up to date is far better than having a browser from 2005 (Opera 8.5) that can't handle a lot of stuff that today's internet needs.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Do you really think what Opera 9 is much faster than MicroB? ;)
try to compare Opera 9 and Opera 8.5 on desktop...

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Thanks to all for feedback, bug reports, comments... ;)

Very soon I will made MicroB working on 770 distribution... (small part already available on gregale-extras microb-engine,microb-refui, libgtkmozembed)....

Also later I will try to organize place about tweaking MicroB ;).
Ex: How to enable back gmail chats e.t.c ...

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Trying to find out if this works on the 770? Anyone know? Appreciated.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

The clue is in the title of the thread. :)

Maybe it will become available for the 770 when (if) a new version of OS 2007HE is released.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Mine was just updated again today.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

Appreciate the reply and answer! Thanks. Where can I find out about this new OS for the 770? Again, thanks.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

There are a couple of threads in this forum discussing OS 2007HE (aka OS 2007 on 770).

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 

The "backspace = history back" bug has returned in yesterday's microb update :[
