Truncated URLs when emailing from Firebird

January 18, 2004 3:25 PM

Why has Mozilla Firebird 0.7 (on Windows XP) suddenly started truncating link URLs when I use File/Send Page to email them? It used to do this occasionally, but now it's doing it every time.

Better yet, is there a fix?

Maybe this is a more productive place to look?

If I'm reading your link correctly, Galvatron, it refers to what seems to be the same problem in an older version of Mozilla (and it's implied it was fixed in newer versions, I think). Would they not have fixed it in Firebird at the same time? Also, this does not take into account the recent onset of the problem, nor offer a solution/fix.

It's something, though, I guess.

You'd like to think, but the reality is that they're different code-bases, and fixes for one don't always apply, and aren't always applied to the other.

This might be a better first stop for Firebird though.
