Re: [DQSD-Users] Firefox Error revisited
Hi Richard, That could well be... But would the Google toolbar change the DDE setup for .html? I don't understand why the search toolbar changes the behavior of the browser at startup. I'm not intimately familiar with DDE, so the details evade me, but I think we may be onto something here. Please post back if you find anything out. - Kim On 9/26/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually Kim I may disagree. I had run into similar issue today.

I guess the way to test it would be to go into the file associations and disable DDE for html files, I may try that tomorrow. Just my 2cents.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Firefox Error revisited
Don't overlook my experience that had the error without any Google toolbar installation as described in a prior input to this thread. It showed up with AdBlockPlus 0.7.5.2 I installed as an ABP upgrade and went away with 0.7.5.3 when it was introduced a few days later. Again, FWIW.

Re: Firefox Error revisited ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Firefox Error revisited From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 08:52:51 -0400 To: "DQSD users mailing list" dqsd-users@lists.sourceforge.net To: "DQSD users mailing list" dqsd-users@lists.sourceforge.net Yeah I think this is it; https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359630 Following the instructions in the link from my previous email fixes the issue. FF definitely has a DDE issue because of the hinky way they are handing their windows. At this point I wouldn't count on this being fixed soon. In one of the bug tickets its explained quite well I am betting, one user stated he thinks what happens is the DDE conversation is started with the Firefox window thats present at launch, during the launching process the original thread/window dies and DDE isnt properly transferred to the new Firefox window or perhaps even, MS was sloppy in their explorer code, (my theory) and is assuming once the DDE session is open it always stays open and after their inital 'message' they send another without checking the status of the DDE connection and whammo, error gets generated. Why this gets worse seemingly with the google toolbar present (and really enhanced with GT and DQSD together) I am not sure. Some have pointed out errors that are likely related to this ( http://groups.google.com/group/FFToolbar-Group-Bugs/browse_thread/thread/072935cb2d9acabe/77cdc339cf169b6f#77cdc339cf169b6f ) to google but I dont know what if any action was taken. So in the end the bug isnt yours or DQSD's, its related to windows and FF. Since the bug has been around off and on since as early as 2002 I dont know if FF Dev team will ever address it Richard On 9/26/07, Kim Grsman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Richard, That could well be...

Re: [DQSD-Users] Firefox Error revisited
False alarm, sorry...it has not fixed either home or work machines Original Message Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] Firefox Error revisited Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 23:08:46 +0100 From: Tom Corcoran [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], DQSD users mailing list dqsd-users@lists.sourceforge.net References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just updated my adblock plus in firefox to 0.7.5.3. I closed all firefox windows and started firefox form dqsd and no error I can't believe this could be fixed. I put up with that error screen many times a day for the last couple of years it seems - that shows you how invaluable dqsd is to me! I'm stunned this could be fixed. Will test on my work machine too. Thanks for documenting this George :-) Tom. George Hitz wrote: My apologies to the list for the erroneous input I made earlier. My bad. I have been using Firefox and DQSD for a very long time without any problems until just recently when I experienced the Internet Explorer Script Error window - only when starting Firefox from a DQSD function. I have never installed the Google toolbar but in light of one users remedy, I installed it and uninstalled it and of course the "script error" window continued to show. A day or two ago, AdBlock Plus 0.7.5.2 was available and installed here which in retrospect was when the error first started. Today, autoupdate indicated that AdBlock Plus 0.7.5.3 was ready for install which I did and lo and behold, the "script error" window has gone away. On the adblockplus.org website it says 0.7.5.3 "fixes an error message that appears on some installations". FWIW. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
