Shouldn't the dependencies be the other way around, ie. this bug being blocked
by the other bugs?

There seems to be a looooooot of bugs that annoy IE-users ;-)
Comment 11•22 years ago

Adding bug 47475 (Need "show-image" item on right-click menu) - this is really
annoying bug. But I would prompt to remove bug 74241 - it's a bad idea.
Depends on: 47475

Adding bug 113591, when using IE in offline-mode i can easily see just by
hovering links that they are not availabe (mouse pointer change), and if I click
on one thats its not i get prompted if I want to connect.
Nothing of the above happends in Mozilla.

I wonder if this bug is morphing from _annoy_ IE users, to _identical_ to IE.
For instance, bug 166518 is hardly "annoying".
--> bug 166518: ToolTips should animate and not appear on the screen
Before this bug gets too carried away, maybe we should consider tightening the
focus a bit. :-\
There must be some other bug or keyword to track IE parity features (but not
necessarily "annoying"). Kind of like KW = "4xp".

I believe we should spend more attention to this bug since this will help
Mozilla/NN on the browser gain more attention from people and market share.

Removed bug 61710, would be a good idea maybe when toolbar customisation
comes, but nothing to do with IE, unless you have power tools for IE 5.

Please don't remove bugs that are fixed or resolved, it shows progress made on
this bug.
The dup that was removed was good because it was duped to bug 30431, which is
already on the list.

Bug 58305 is a IE parity bug that has been bugging many people using CMSs for a
LONG TIME.
Comment 27•21 years ago

bug 177966 - Many people moving from OE to TB or Mozilla are complaining about
it (moving watched threads to the beggining of the list)
Comment 28•21 years ago

In the Status Whiteboard field, "parity-ie" indicates the desired feature exists
in Internet Explorer. This bug should depend on the most annoying of parity-ie
bugs, and also other bugs such as problems with importing data from Internet
Explorer into Mozilla.
I'm not sure if this bug should also track annoyances with moving from Outlook
or Outlook Express to Mozilla Mail or Thunderbird, since none of those are
listed in the Summary and this bug is in the Browser Component. If it is
supposed to, I suggest updating the Summary accordingly.

Just cleaning up this tracking bug. I removed all the duped bugs in which the
dupe was fixed. And removed all other resolved bugs as they no longer need
tracked since they are fixed or resolved as invalid or wont fix.

re: requests from comment 43, i added bug 171349 (in lieu of bug 259634) and bug
154649.
re: kurt's massive cleanup (from comment 42) i'm not sure we gain all that much
by not tracking the bugs, any more. isn't it nice to see all the progress we've
made with all those bugs in overstrike ;)
anyway i'm going to add back the following bugs because i think they still annoy
former IE users and this is a good place for them to find them:
bug 74241, bug 146799, bug 204519, bug 211092, bug 232895, bug 252275
for posterity, here are the remaining bug's that got nuked in kurt's massive
purge that aren't already discussed:
bug 7840, bug 18729, bug 23679, bug 30431, bug 32218, bug 35159, bug 57607, bug
58305, bug 69114, bug 72493, bug 75915, bug 89404, bug 98546, bug 103090, bug
106708, bug 111102, bug 113591, bug 114962, bug 125276, bug 144593, bug 170272,

sorry about that, though I was helping by cleaning up and making the bug easier
to follow. sorry for this comment also, just I never apologized last time.
Comment 47•20 years ago
|
||
another reason for keeping the resolved bugs on the list is that occasionally
they are re-opened ( often an unintended regression - though I guess there are
no "intended" regressions ). or a "won't fix" becomes a "will fix" - just my 2
cents worth
Comment 50•19 years ago

Since this is a "core" bug, can the title be changed from "Bugs that annoy
Internet Explorer users switching to Mozilla (IE parity)" to "Bugs that annoy
Internet Explorer, Outlook, and Outlook Express users switching to Mozilla (IE
parity)" or should another bug be opened for the mail component?
In particular, .eml handling and printing are real bugaboos.
Comment 51•19 years ago

Open another bug for Outlook. FWIW, we already have a tracking bug for Bugs
that annoy Eudora users switching to Mozilla.

IE converts the string, firefox doesnt, and so one secure site in IE is shown as bad/invalid secure site in firefox
