Firefox 1.0PRE problem with dgrin

With Firefox 1.0PRE on both OSX and linux, "enhanced edit' mode is no longer really WYSIWYG. Clicking on the letter icon just adds the opening or closing tag to the message. I never see the imbedded picture. Similarly with bold, italic, etc. Also the emoticons are displayed as text.
If not now, when?

    Hi Rutt,

    You might check mozilla.org and see if they're aware of the bug and are working on it.

    Thanks,
    Baldy

    I tried to do that, but I don't think I know enough about what exactly is wrong to find be effective. Is anyone else seeing this problem? Do you have a clue? I'll report a bug if we can narrow it down a little.

    I finally found the right link. Turns out the vbulletin folks know about this and have a "fix", sort of. Look here.http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs.php?do=view&bugid=3373

    Workaround for the brave.
    Reading the posts on the vbulletin site led me to a workaround in firefox 1.0pr itself. The majority of dgrin users probably won't do this, so I stil think it's a good idea to apply Scott's fix to the dgrin code. But here is the browser fix for the brave:
    1. Type about:config in the location bar.
    2. Type useragent in the filter field
    3. Change the value of general.useragent.vendorSub to 1.0
    Viola!

    That's why they call it dislexia.

    Wow, that's some good detective work, Rutt. I was wondering why Ofoto rejected me yesterday with the newest Firefox but I could use Netscape.

    Seems like a crazy thing to do to tell websites that you are version 0.10.

    We'll all want to remember to unset this config value before upgrading to the 1.0 release!

    It's not crazy at all. Every software company does this, from Microsoft (IE 6.0.2900) to the Linux kernel (2.4.22). Once you pass .9, you go to .10.

    This is vB's fault, and the fault of other broken websites, not Firefox/Mozilla/etc.

    Yeah, it was a topic of some debate in Firefox forums when it happened, with many engineers concluding that sites like Ofoto, vBulletin forums, bank sites, etc., should have known that .1 > .2 > .9 > .10 > 1.0 is a logical progression.

    Not surprisingly, users who posted about it in Firefox forums didnt blame the sites they visited because other browsers didn't have the problem.

    No, I'm afraid the honest answer is I'm not going to. I have quite a number of higher-priority things on my plate. Firefox 1.0 is out so hopefully that'll fix it.

    Thanks,
