[ADMIN] mozilla-mac is closing

It should be no secret these days that the Mozilla Foundation and its related projects are no longer a pet
project of Netscape, yet until recently, the newsgroups we've been using for public discussions still
bore the Netscape name, and our primary news server still lived on AOL (formerly Netscape) hardware. 
We've been planning for years to move from netscape.public.mozilla.* to just mozilla.*, and this last
January, the time finally came!

In August, we announced a partnership with Giganews Newsgroups (http://www.giganews.com/) to provide
NNTP services for our news.mozilla.org domain.  It took a few months of planning to make it happen, but in
January, we moved all of the gateway mailing lists and discussions that we still felt were needed over to
their new counterparts in the mozilla.* hierarchy.

As part of the move, we also moved our mail-to-news gateway over to a new list server, now living at
https://lists.mozilla.org/ .  It has now come time to shut down the old list server in preparation for
decomissioning that machine (one step of many that will probably take a few months yet, but that's a story
for elsewhere).

If you're reading this message, the newsgroup you're reading it on wasn't one that we wound up moving, and is
now being abandoned by Mozilla.  We encourage you to check out the list of new newsgroups/mailing lists at
http://www.mozilla.org/community/developer-forums.html .  If you've still got Mozilla-related
issues to discuss, there's probably an appropriate place to discuss them listed there.  If there's not,
feel free to suggest that we create one by posting on the mozilla.dev.mozilla-org newsgroup or
dev-mozilla-org <at> lists.mozilla.org mailing list.

On Sunday, April 23rd, we'll be shutting down the mail-to-news gateway for this newsgroup at mozilla-mac .

For general information and frequently asked questions about the move to the new news and list servers, see http://www.mozilla.org/community/giganews-migration.html

If you have any questions that aren't answered here, and aren't answered in the above FAQ or on the community
developer forums page, please ask in the mozilla.dev.mozilla-org newsgroup or on the
dev-mozilla-org <at> lists.mozilla.org mailing list (https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-mozilla-org)

removing messages, Mozilla 1.2.1

      In several of my larger newsgroups messages from 1 1/2 years ago, 
when clicked, give a message "...message may be expired." And "click 
here to remove all expired articles."  The latter removes nothing!
      How do I remove expired or unwanted messages?

Thunderbird Bug? - View Saved Passwords failing

I am using the latest version of Thunderbird (1.5) under MacOSX 10.4.5.

When I go to 

  Preferences:Privacy:Passwords

and click on:

  View Saved Passwords

nothing appears.

Can anyone else reproduce this bug?

Now, what I need to do is clear a saved password for an e-mail account.
Is there another way to accomplish this without going through the GUI?

Access to Firefox Extensions Chrome Directory?

I just installed the Firefox extension, Greasemonkey, which lets you 
install Greasemonkey scripts that can add features to web pages you 
visit. So then I went to install a Greasemonkey script, and I got the 
error message:

> Failed to create directory. You probably don't have appropriate permissions 
> (write access to mozilla/chrome directory). Error code: -215.

I used Spotlight to search for a Chrome directory, and quite a few 
directories with that name turned up that were associated with Firefox. 
They all seem to have permissions saying "You can Read & Write."

How can I fix this? Thanks in advance to all for any info.

FireFox/Mozilla and SMB homedirs

I have an environment in which all home dirs reside on Linux and
Solaris (soon to be killed) file servers. We have set up a NetBoot
environment for our Mac users that serves home dirs using Samba. This
has worked quite well, with one exception. FireFox (thru 1.5) and
Mozilla (thru 1.7.12) appear to have a file locking issue involving the
profile dir. Whenever one launches either of these apps, they think the
profile is in use. By profile, I mean the default profile, one that is
already created (and not in use), or one that you create via the
'create profile' button during the profile selection at launch.

Firefox gives the following error(default can be substituted by
whichever profile is selected):

"Profile in use Firefox cannot use the profile "default" because it is
in use.

To continue, close the running instance of Firefox or choose a
different profile."

Mozilla gives the following error(default can be substituted by
whichever profile is selected):

"Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)
[nslProfileInternal.currentProfile]"

Creating a new profile results in the same message. I've checked to
make sure it's not a Unix permissions issue.

I have verified the following:

Migrating to new computer

Which files do I need to copy to my new computer to get Moz running as 
beautifully as on my old one? I copied the Mozilla folder from my 
user/library and placed the application in the apps folder but it did 
not recognize my profile. I will bottom post any replies, sorry for the 
misstep. Thanks for your help.

Phantom "New Message Received"

I am getting the little green arrow and a beep showing that a new 
message has been received, but when I click on the inbox, there is 
nothing. No junk mail box set up, so what's  happening? TIA

Outgoing Mail Server Requires Authentication

I'm told by my ISP (suddenly) that my Outgoing mail server requires 
authentication. How do I accomplish this, using Moz 1.7.2, OSX.2.8?

27 crashes > one common cause

Firefox 1.5 has crashed on me 27 times since I installed it less than 2
months ago. In nearly every instance, I was using the scroll bar when
it flicked out of existence.  I'm using Mac OS X 10.3.7.  I don't know
if this is a weakness in Firefox or a problem with this version of OS
X. I get similar crashes in Adobe InDesign CS, again related to the
scroll bar.  Grrrr.
