Title: Firefox 4.0 (Beta) Version?
Post by: kwanbis on July 04, 2010, 05:41:24 PM
Has any dev tested on the FF 4 beta? (actually rc-beta, but very good).

Please, provide an updated version :D

No, not yet. I expect there to be some minor changes necessary; e.g., updating of the XPCOM component.

I have PasswordMaker 1.7.8 beta 1. My tests show it works with Firefox 4 and older versions of Firefox. However, I'm having trouble uploading it to the wiki. When I go to http://passwordmaker.org/Special:Upload and upload the XPI, I get this warning:

Upload warning
Files of the MIME type "application/zip" are not allowed to be uploaded.

We used to be able to upload XPIs because other betas have been hosted there. Anyone know what's going on?

One of the MediaWiki updates disallowed application/zip files (which xpi files are really)

It should be fixed now.

I am happy to announce PasswordMaker 1.7.8 beta 1 with support for Firefox 4 and 3.x. Please give it a try here (http://passwordmaker.org/Firefox/Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Flock/Netscape/Beta#Beta_Versions_for_Firefox.2FSeaMonkey.2FMozilla.2FNetscape.2FFlock), and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks,
Eric

Seems to work fine in 3.6.8 - even seems to have fixed the minor annoyance I was having with the Main window growing in size every time I opened it...

Yeah, but does it work with 4.0? 4.0 is significantly different. If someone can verify (besides me) that it works with 4.0, I'll promote it out of beta status....

Hang on, let me go update 4.0b1 to 4.0b2...

Seems to work fine on b2... I only tried about 3 sites, but they all worked fine...

I've submitted 1.7.8 to addons.mozilla.org for approval. It supports Firefox 4. There are no changes between 1.7.8b1 and 1.7.8 except version numbers.

Changed the install.rdf to allow installation with Beta4, which worked. Found that Ctrl+~ does not open Password Maker, although using Tools/PWM/Open PWM does open PWM.

Never mind: I installed the beta, rather than release version, while trying to figure out two other problems, thereby creating a third one.

(Actually, there are four problems, but I cannot fix the one that is me.)

Wait, what? Does Ctrl+` work for you or not?

Which syllable of "never mind" don't you understand?

Of course it works: As I wrote, I had installed the wrong version from my stash of Beta4-compliant extensions, and when I realized that, and installed the proper version, well, as things were then working correctly, I told readers to ignore the earlier part of my message, as in the expression "never mind."
