Downgrading to FF2 for inline-block testing.

[jlizarraga]

Hi all,

Short back story:

I wrote a JS script that makes use of inline-block. Finally got to try it out in FF2 and -moz-inline-block didn't help, but I know there are some other -moz tricks that might be able to help.

Two questions:

1) Do you think I should even bother downgrading to get FF2 conforming, or are stats like these enough to say "RIP FF2"? I would feel dirty neglecting FF2 because the script works 100% in IE6 (via using "inline" over "inline-block"). Although there is a major difference in that FF2 users are constantly told they should upgrade by their browser. I'M SO CONFLICTED!

2) Is downgrading as safe as upgrading? When I'm done with my testing and upgrade back to FF3, how much of a hassle will it be? I assume bookmarks and the like will be saved, but I have a ton of extensions.

Thanks!

Upgrading and downgrading with ff is very easy, just install the version you want and ff will change add ons to correct version and import bookmarks, etc..

Thanks, you were right it was very easy. It downgraded the addons and everything.

I just spent like 2 hours fighting its lack of proper inline-block, though.

-moz-inline-stack ended up being the solution to my particular setup, and I couldn't find a single mention of it anywhere except for here:

And there's no information about what it is or what it's for. Neither -moz-inline-block nor -moz-inline-box worked for me. I had links, divs, and an ordered list nested in the problem inline-block container, so my situation was weird I guess.

EDIT: Actually, I forgot I had some other more basic inline-block elements that were fixed with -moz-inline-box.
