Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 
I would like to use this add-on, but it is in the .xpi format, need it in the .deb format.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3546

When do you think that Firefox/Mozilla add-ons will work for the N800?

This new Mozilla-based browser has taken the N800 to the next level of coolness.

If I promise to take back everything I said about Nokia
yesterday, would y'all please tell me how to switch back
to the Opera browser....I am surely one of those wimps
that should have known better....I WANT MY GOOGLE MAPS!!

There was mention of being able to switch back and forth
on the "the menu"...but I'll be durned if I can find it.

THANKS....

That's what I have copied and saved:

Quote:

Tip: To enable the "default browsing switcher menu", to be able to switch to Opera, close all instances of the web browser,
and edit /home/user/.browser and make "hidden=true"

That way you don't have to uninstall it if you need Opera.

Hope they can fix speed problems and crashing. Release early, release often!

If you find any reproducible bugs, please ensure they are raised in Bugzilla, as requested.

Consider it part of the "contract" for getting pre-release software to play with.

I installed yesterday. Things looked good. But now I'm having network problems (wifi connection is OK, and my wifi-connected laptop has no problems at all over the same network). Even when changing to Opera engine, problem remains. RSS-feeds disappeared. Uninstalling the Mozilla files didn't solve the problem.
Details of connections and accounts are still OK.
Does anyone have an idesa what I should do to solve this?

what is a little bit jerky with docs is the way
it manages the windows scroll bar. in docs the
scrollbars are not managed directly by the browser
some there's a lot of interroperability with them.
when using docs, you have to use a bluetooth keyboard
to prevent the touch keyboard to popup, reducing
dramaticaly the view on the document...


i'm happy for this step forward, but it is no
completly usable in some cases...

Don't know if this will work for everyone... but for those of you saddened by the loss of Google Maps, I noticed that if "Fit Width to View" is checked, the tiles weren't drawn (grey). Unchecked, it worked nicely. Anyone else found this to be true?

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 
I've found that I have to toggle that setting depending on the website.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 
I have issue that I can not toggle the browser engine (Opera/MicroB). I had to edit the .browser file manually to get first the menu option to show up... and now the option is there but does nothing... I have to manually edit the .browser file to select between the browser engines. Anybody same issues?

I did restore backup after flashing the new OS... If that is confirmed to be causing this behavior.

I'm delighted! Every site that didn't work before, now works just like on my desktop. I'm not having any problems with google maps either. Maybe it's a memory issue - I have an 8gb internal card with 128mb vram configured and google maps works just fine. :D
