- Netscape has a list of known problems in their online
- release notes, please refer to those release notes for
- further details. The URL for those problems is:
- http://home.mcom.com/eng/mozilla/3.0/relnotes/unix-
- 3.01.html#Problems
-
- Other problems that we have found specific to the SGI
- release that may also exist in other releases are as
- follows:
-
- +o While Netscape documents how to eliminate the use of a
- disk cache by setting the cache size to zero, Java,
- JavaScript, and Plugins all need local cache files in
- order to function properly. A zero size cache will
- cause the browser to crash periodically when running.
- The workaround is simply to not specify a zero size
- disk and/or memory cache, a one meg cache is enough to
- work around this problem.
-
- +o Due to some problems in the cache, some HTML pages may
- not display properly. To fix the display try hitting
- the "Reload" button or hold down the "Shift-key" and
- press the "Reload" button to force the reload from the
- server. Usually this will cause the page to display
- properly.
-
- +o When printing a HTML page that has Java or data in a
- form, the Java image and the data are not printed but
- space is left for them. The contents of a plugin also
- can't be printed.
-
- +o The online "Handbook" and several other buttons are
- initialized to access the most current version of these
- documents from Netscape Communications Corporation's
- World Wide Web site. If you can not access these
- sites, make sure that you are not sitting behind a
- firewall. Contact your systems administrator for more
- information on firewalls and how to configure the
- browser to get thru the firewall. If your machine is
- directly connected to the Internet, then this will not
- be a problem for you.
-
- +o If your system is configured for a Japanese environment
- the Xt text entry widget may not function properly.
- Try adding the following to your .Xdefaults or
- Xresources file to work around this problem:
-

-
- +o If when navigating the web you download an image or
- movie and it brings up a save dialog, make sure that
- your system preferences for the location of the mailcap
- and mime.types files are the correct ones. Very old
- Netscape Navigator beta images available on the network
- saved preferences for the location of the mailcap and
- mime.types files as "/usr/local/lib/mosaic". This is
- the incorrect location and will cause several players
- not to run properly. User's must verify that the
- system defaults for the mailcap and mime.types files
- are pointing to "/usr/local/lib/netscape". Making this
- change will most likely cause the player to function
- properly.
-
- +o Netscape may have a problem parsing some valid mailcap
- entries that may be in personal mailcap files. It has
- no problem parsing the mailcap entries we ship with
- this product.
-
- +o Netscape Navigator does not use the Indigo Magic
- Desktop session management mechanism so will not
- automatically restart and reposition itself after the
- user logs out then back into the workstation.
