Please consider releasing the update – I used this extension all the time to follow Macromedia blogs. I don’t mind if it doesn’t work 100% – anything is better than the crashes in Firefox 1.5

Thanks!

Well I really miss this extension! Could you please send me the version for FF 1.5, even if it is not 100% compatible?

If it means restarting the browser so that I have something to read and procrastinate on during my day, then yes, release it.

Well, I fixed the main issue and it is working now. But I have run into another issue which I am having trouble figuring out, and am starting to think it is a Firefox bug.

Basically, if you change any preferences that affect the display of the menu, then the menu gets all borked up. If you restart the browser, then everything works fine.

Basically, you have to restart the browser after changing some of the preferences.

I have considered releasing it like that, but I don’t want to release a new version that is worse than a previous one.

It is really frustrating as this is all do to changes in Firefox.

Thoughts?

It is porn spam ??? I tried to follow a link in a secure location and it tried all sorts of javascript loads (thanks Firefox and noScript for saving me) lol

On another note,
I thought of a potential feature added to this extension. It would be cool to have it only visible on the focused window. A good example of this is the download statusbar extension.
