it appears that for some reason or another this build was released with
all the pref.js files in readonly mode and therefore appear to not allow
scripts to change the settings, as once I went into all.js and edited it
in teh "readonly mode" offered by BBEdit and changed this line from
false to true (which I have never had to do before):
pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
the code now works and lets me access cross domains again.
Does this theory appear sound to the Moz team? The files readonly status
is the only difference I can see that isn't hidden by compiled code.
I could be way off my rocker, but we did that netscape.security line to
prevent all the users from having to hand edit their preferences...
could be why it works in Netscape 6.2 (I know it is 094 based not 5 0r
6, but the pref files aren't in a readonly state).
Thoughts?
