mozilla firefox 3.5 and libnotify

building mozilla firefox on Ubuntu 9.04
a slight update.

You want up update your build dependencies to 3.5
sudo apt-get build-dep firefox-3.5

NEW packages used:
libstartup-notification0-dev
xulrunner-1.9.1
xulrunner-1.9.1-dev

libnotify issues...if you run into these
you will need to install libnotify-dev not libnotify-bin.

sudo apt-get install libnotify-dev

create a .mozconfig
ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Configuring_Build_Options

then it builds...in 'mozilla-central'
make -f client.mk build

~/mozilla/mozilla-central/obj*/dist/bin/firefox -Profilemanager -no-remote

Mochitests on Fennec [bookmarks][tabs][1.oh]

So got a r+ on tabs tests. Which is dandy!
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485855

Got the hang of things on the bookmark container.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486490#c5

did a forced button click save but it didn't save the url.

A set of test coverage/bugs was wiki page recently created
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec_TestDev
So things are just getting started...it's exciting.

Mochitests on Fennec [tabs][bookmarks][0.9]

So an updated patch for Tab testing on Fennec.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485855

able to test for tab titles and switching between tabs. hurah.

Bookmarks is a bit more challenging...(want to know how this all works)
note: thought it was just getElementById...

How bookmarks work(on Fennec)...the bookmark panel can be accessed
by window.BrowserUI.doCommand("cmd_star");
which calls on this window
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/source/chrome/content/browser.xul#338

the "editor" portion is here
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/source/chrome/content/browser.xul#341

the editors place-item binding is on
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/source/chrome/content/bindings.xml#457

and the textbox is
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/source/chrome/content/bindings.xml#467


so one can use document.getAnonymousElementByAttribute to get the value...
currently unable to get it to giv'r...
