[ADMIN] mozilla-macosx 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-macosx .

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

Re: Berichten verdwenen bij TB 1.0.7

Sinds een tijdje gebruik ik Thunderbird (1.0.7 op 10.1). Ben redelijk
tevreden tot voor kort: berichten na 17 maart waren ineens uit allerlei
mappen, nieuwsgroepen en nieuwsstromen verdwenen. Waart er een virus 
rond of het het te maken met een fout in de compressie?
Onraad

(..en toch hopen we dat B... bij zinnen komt..)

Creating user-profile and mail icons

In Windows it's possible to create a desktop icon which points to a 
specific user-profile, or the email part of Mozilla/Seamonkey.
If memory serves me right I think the icon has a command-line parameter 
along the lines of: seamonkey.exe -mail
and so on.

How do I do this on the Mac?

"bookmarks.html" file copied again and again (and again)

I'm using Seamonkey 1.0 on a Mac (MacOS 10.4.5) and for some strange 
reason my bookmark file (bookmarks.html) file seems to be copied all the 
time, so now I have (in addition to the original file):

bookmarks-1.html
bookmarks-2.html
bookmarks-3.html
bookmarks-4.html
bookmarks-5.html
bookmarks-6.html

.... and so on.

I first posted about this in the "mozilla.support.seamonkey" newsgroup 
where I was referred to the following website: 
http://ilias.ca/mozilla/troubleshooting/#ManyBookmarkFiles

The solution on that page was to delete a file named 
"bookmarks.html.moztmp", but I haven't found any file by that name, and 
copies are still being made of my bookmark-file.
Perhaps there's a different solution on the Mac platform.

Saving Flash animations -how?

Is it possible to somehow save Shockwave Flash animations to my
hard-drive?
I sometimes get greeting cards which I'd like to store for later
instead of having to visit the website each time (which I'm sure will
expire in a while).

I'm using Mozilla 1.7.12 and Seamonkey 1.0 on MacOS 10.4.4.

Re: Watch these internet update from MS

Danger!!   Attention!!!

Although the link names and the underlying addresses look harmless,
the danger is in the attached zip-file.

You should never trust such attachments !!!!

I was under the impression that MS NEVER sends out attachments to people?

Reading mail problems (Mac/PC Mozilla differences?)

I've written about my Mozilla problem in another thread ("Reading mail
from a CD-R"), but since I haven't received any replies and I've done
some further experimenting I thought I'd create a new thread.

The problem is that I'm not able to read my mail when it's stored on a
CD-R, whereas this works perfectly in Windows. I'm using the exact same
Mozilla version on both platforms, and (as far as I know) the settings
are the same as well.

I've been looking through all possible reasons for this, and one of
them is that Mozilla isn't able to write/update index files or whatever
on the CD-R, while on the Mac hard-drive it can (that still doesn't
explain why it works fine on the PC, in Mozilla!), so I tried this
little experiment:

1) In Mozilla on the Mac I created a new email account with ficticious
servers etc.

2) In a completely different location from where the Mozilla mail is
usually stored on the Mac hard-drive I created a mail folder and copied
over some of my email files/folders).

3) Editing the email account I just created I changed the existing
"Local directory" (found under "server settings" for that email
account's properties) to the new folder.

4) I quit Mozilla, then restarted it.

Yup, my email from the new folder was perfectly readable!
So I've determined that the problem isn't that Mozilla won't allow me

Reading mail from a CD-R

I've got problems reading email messages from CD-R. Why read mail from
a CD you say?
Well, I like to keep backups of my email throughout the years, so what
I do is simply organize it like I want and burn it to a CD-R, CD-RW or
DVD, and whenever I want to read an old email message (or even search
for something specific) I pop in the CD-R and read it from mozilla,
from an "email account" I've created for that purpose.

Here's a step-by step on how I do it:

1) Once having organized all my email like I want it with folders,
sub-folders and mailboxes, all within a single email account, also
making sure that *ALL* messages are marked "read" (so Mozilla won't try
to write an index file on the CD-R, which of course it can't) I exit
Mozilla (to make sure it doesn't alter any of the files while burning
to the CD) and burn a copy of that account's mail folder from the
Finder desktop.

2) I start Mozilla again, then create a new POP3 email account. It
really doesn't matter what name, POP server etc. I enter here. Just
about anything will do, but for simplicity I like to call the account
"Read from CD" or similar, so I know it's the one for that purpose.

3) Once I've created that account I need to change the path to where
Mozilla will look for its mail. I do this by changing the "Local
directory" path to where the CD/DVD-drive is found (and if the mail is
located inside a folder on that CD I need to include the path to where
the actual messages are found). Here's a screenshot from my setup on
the Windows PC:

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:

Patch overwrite

I found the the latest revision of following files,
sun-java/stubs/include/jni.h
sun-java/stubs/include/jni_md.h
was overwrited by the patch for 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=108544&action=view.

I want to ask if the patch for 108544 will be reapply?? I need the patch in 
order to implement LiveConnect for JRex ( jrex.mozdev.org ) for Mac OS X.

What is the right process for notify this kind of thing to mozilla.org?

Thanks for your answer.
