Thanks, Kaya.  Yours is the second report I've gotten of this.  Something might be up at the OS level, but it's also possible that we're doing something wrong.  We'll look into this.

Markmentovai sez: Hey, thanks!  We're rolling even more improvements now that the universal builds are seeing some real testing and QA.  There are some cool new fixes that let you bring your ppc profile and even cache straight over to an x86 without losing any data.

== "Invisible Text" ==
Hello - I loaded the latest Intel build from this site as of 12 March: kudos to you and thanks for this build - very fast on my MacBook.
I have one text area for entering comments, in an online Time Entry app I am using. In the latest build from this site, the text in the comment field is "invisible". I can select it, and it turns light blue when I do, but I cannot see what is in the text area. When I save, what I type is correctly rendered.
However, this does ''not'' happen on the Windows 1.5 production Firefox, or, on the unofficial Intel build I downloaded [http://homepage.mac.com/thenonsuch/firefox/firefox-intel-030306.dmg here].
Any idea on what I might try? Thank you in advance.

Markmentovai dit: [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ Firefox 1.5.0.2] is out as a universal binary.  Please give it a try.  If you still have trouble, clean profile and all, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ file a bug] and provide some way for others to be able to reproduce your bug: provide access to the app, or better yet, provide a minimized testcase.
== Right click disabled? ==
I haven't found any other posts about this potential issue, so it might end up being an issue only on my machine, but the right-click (control-click) functionality in the Universal pre-release of Firefox is disabled, or non-functioning. Is this a known bug? -pb
Markmentovai's answer: Not a known bug, haven't heard this one before, and it's certainly not intentional.  Any weird mouse drivers on your system?  Tried a clean profile?
LBW: When I installed Firefox 1.5.0.4 on my MacBook Pro right-clicking was disabled at first. I finally tracked it down to an extension (Mouse Gestures 1.5 from Optimoz). If you have any extensions loaded, disable/enable them and see if that helps.
