I am calling that done for now

hope some of it is useful

what stops news.opensuse.org/2022/10/27/call-for-testing-next-gen-installer from working?

a-865: so what.. linux eq of vista's panther image based setup?

btw.. you know if you open an address in a private window from the open location dialog it will be logged in urlbar history

WG9s_: did you see what I posted to frg in the scrollback

MY final solution to the xpfe autocomplete problem

...

i should REALLY think about how I phrase shit more often

CaptainTobin Looks nice. Booked it. Not sure when I find some time but hopefully in this life :)

frg_Away: like I said your solution may be different but I think I have done enough research and THINGS to allow you to take it further in service of .. whatever the damn vision is lol

and that is the kind of work I am best at .. figuring out just enough that it might help someone else go further .. and hopefully actually serve one of my priorities as well.. that is always nice lol

I like to consider my self good at foundation building and conceptual design creation

frg_Away: thing is the openLocation window which uses the same functions ain't showing the favicons .. have to look into that even tho it should considering i altered the same function

maybe i will just make it a panel instead

i do want to maintain any front facing control has a menu item SOMEWHERE

2 points of access minimum for any major function

well I just need to find time and currently don't know how. If I enhance the ui web compatibility suffers. If I do backports the ui stands still. Too me more than a year to fix the clear private data stuff. blarg... At least ianN found some time for mailnews updates.

that is what I am sticking two

preferably one up front and one in menus or prefpanes

frg_Away: i waited how long for you guys to find the one liner for the rss urlbar issue

you were still on 52 when i first mentioned it.. or just getting ready to switch

yeah these things need not take months or years despite the webcompat priority

if I HAD more time i would have replaced the entire rss ui bits with those from Pale Moon or Basilisk instead of waiting but i didn't and it MOSTLY WORKED lol

OH frg_Away my usage of the placesutils favicon functions because they are async they all kept resolving randomly so it wouldn't work and i don't know how to actually deal with that shit so I moved a weave jsm into toolkit modules which allows me to create a blocking request to any async function in js

Well the rss bug was cosmetic. Could live with it.

no it was functionally busted when it would get into that state until a hard reload

frg_Away: i am conserned opensearch won't survive or won't stay in use and go the way of rss

The favicons stuff has probably changed. All async now. async function might work and/or Async.promoseSpinningly

maybe i will switch it to using static search plugins BUT maintain the open search install functions and just have it package and install the add-on

oh from 22 on many extremely simple and easy to use functions were made async ONLY

from nsIFaviconService

to that mozIAsyncHorseshit

.. i should just restore the nsIFaviconService functions

I don't MIND having async.. i just hate being FORCED to have it BE async

CaptainTobin Firefox already took it out. Allowed too much freedom and was bad for security.

I should also see if I can retrofit the tycho add-ons manager to accept some static web..add-ons the likes of search and dictionaries and just have on the fly translation to standard xpi

FTR bugzilla.mozilla.org/905155

that was when xpfe ac cpp was removed
