Also, he said on his 10.6 machine that step one will work just by itself and that step three will work just by itself. You don't need the middle step in the workflow above. The poster replied that I had one step too many. UPDATE: I posted a copy of this at the mozilla users forum where I got the Automator tip. Just reopen the app in Automator and add the path to Get Specified Finder Items. I suppose you could create an Automator app for each page and add them to the browser list, but I prefer to just edit the Automator app for each page. The path (Get Specified Finder Items) must be edited for each page you want to preview. Save the workflow as an application (ex: StandardBrowser.app) Set Application for Files - set Firefox as the applicationĭisplay Webpages - this opens Safari (or the default broswer set in Safari's prefences). Get Specified Finder Items - add the DW doc you want to preview in Firefox. Open Automator and set up the following workflow: Taking this into consideration, I came up with a recipe that works.įirst, if you haven't already, set the default broswer in Safari's preferences to Firefox.
Then I hit upon this idea I have my preferences set so that DW opens DW files whenever those files are double clicked, and, any html docs without the DW icon open with Firefox. The poster insisted it should, so I looked at it closer, trying to find out why mine didn't. I tried the recipe suggested in the thread, but it didn't work. Don't look for a fix from mozilla as they think everyone else is out of step on this.Ī suggested workaround is Automator. Mozilla urges current users of Firefox 2 to wait until Firefox 3 is finally released in October or November of this year.Was reading a mozilla users thread about this Firefox considers the new way better (no spaces or special characters in path names). Once again, Mozilla recommends this alpha release only for developers. It is the latter, the miscellaneous bug fixes within Gecko 1.9, that may affect Web and platform performance. See our slide show of Alpha 5 to see what changes are currently visible within Firefox 3.Īccording to the Alpha 6 release notes this version includes: Updated SQLite engine to version 3.3.17 support for site-specific preferences-text size a new Quit dialog box that resolves termination errors added permanent 'Restart Firefox' button to Add-Ons Manager miscellaneous fixes to download manager including correctly displaying large file sizes various Places fixes and miscellaneous Gecko 1.9 bug fixes.
As with previous Alphas, most of the tweaks are internal. Alpha 6 doesn't add much to Firefox in terms of new features we expect that to happen with the first betas. On Tuesday, without fanfare, Mozilla quietly released the final alpha for its new Firefox 3, codenamed Gran Paradiso.
