Talk:Firefox bugs affecting MediaWiki

Bugzilla search
Searching for "wikipedia" on b.m.o in the short description (in advanced mode) with a resolution of "---" returns 12 bugs; a few appear to be dups. The most commonly reported problem appears to be Bug 350684 – Print preview of Wikipedia page hangs if scale factor other than 100%, which may be a dup of bug 266681 – Print preview crashes reproducible on validated (!) CSS 2.0 page.

A few bugs/features that are relevant (most found by searching for "wikipedia" in bug comments):


 * Editing:
 * Bug 306594 – Editing a large amount of bidirectional text in textarea is horribly slow (possibly been solved; needs confirmation)
 * Bug 249561 – textarea with lots of text becomes slow to edit (not confirmed)


 * URLs:
 * Bug 150376 – Handling of non-ASCII in URIs need fixing
 * Bug 366797 – Revise the Location Bar


 * General layout problem:
 * Bug 373427 – enhance: css float+clear similar to IE
 * Bug 9101 – Break lines at soft hyphens (&shy;) and display hyphens if line broken (due to land in ff3)

Page move
I think a better approach is to use this page to gather bugs that affect MediaWiki. Once we have enough we can order them in terms of priority and submit the most important 10 bugs to Mozilla as planned. Have reworded intro to this affect. Hope that's OK with everyone. --HappyDog 10:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
