I can confirm the same problems with Epiphany 1.4.6, and suggest that the "Summary" section be modified to reflect this fact. This has happened before with new Mozilla releases.

[Comment 2 Joe McCann (RETIRED) 2004-12-21 02:30:09 UTC]

for epiphany, you will need to sync(make sure you have epiphany-1.4.6 with the epiphany-1.4.6-moz-nsiurip.patch) and then recompile against moz-1.7.5. You could also wait until epiphany-1.4.7 hits the tree..which will be soon. 

[Comment 3 Lindsay Haisley 2004-12-21 19:36:35 UTC]

Same problem here.  Middle and right mouse buttons no longer work as expected after upgrading Mozilla.  I'm also having trouble rebuilding Galeon, which I assumed might fix the problem:

FilePicker.cpp:79: error: prototype for `nsresult 
   GFilePicker::Init(nsIDOMWindowInternal*, const PRUnichar*, short int)' does 
   not match any in class `GFilePicker'

... and the build aborts.  I'll file a separate bug on that.

[Comment 4 Lindsay Haisley 2004-12-21 19:49:48 UTC]

I emerged galeon-1.3.18 from gentoo unstable and it built OK.  The mouse problem is fixed here.

[Comment 5 Abdul-Wahid Paterson 2004-12-22 09:04:06 UTC]

I had the same problem. I upgraded to Mozilla 1.7.5 and the right and middle mouse buttons stopped working. I then upgraded galeon to 1.3.18 and it fixed the problem.

I am using AMD64 not x86 platform.

[Comment 6 Hanno Böck 2004-12-22 15:52:16 UTC]

This is fixed by rebuilding galeon and has nothing to do with the version, so it's not really a bug, it's a known issue that with mozilla-updates, you have to rebuild mozilla-based browsers.
