Favorite Mozilla Bug

Submitted by David Snopek on March 12, 2008 - 4:17am

While I have Mozilla bugs on the brain, I figured I'd post my current favorite.  I periodically browse over to it to check on its progress.  Its a patch to add support for the HTML5 <video> tag:

Firefox 3 beta 4

Submitted by David Snopek on March 11, 2008 - 7:16pm

Firefox 3 beta 4 was just released!  I started testing beta 3 last month, but encountered what was a show-stopping bug for me:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417321

When I ran beta 4, it told me that I needed a greater-than 2.10 version of Gtk+.  My distro (Debian Etch) has only 2.8.20.  So, still wanting to take it out for a drive, I compiled and installed Gtk 2.12.6.  Et voila!  Beta 4 worked without my previous problem!

That got me thinking... Maybe the problem was that I had with beta 3 was just a result of a too low Gtk+.  So, I tried running Beta 3 against the newer libraries and ... the problem wasn't there!

Thats when I discovered this in Bugzilla:
