Not Compatible With Nightly Builds [FIXED]

Post by GaryT » Mon Sep 17, 2012 7:50 pm

Flagfox stopped working with the latest nightly builds. This is a great extension and if it can be updated , would be great.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0

Apparently they just removed a function I depend on, without deprecating it first, or even telling some other Mozilla devs that were apparently caught off guard. Looks like it has already been backed out, though, so in the next nightly it should work again (unless/until they re-land).

This async or die kick they're all on is a bit annoying, though I see where they're coming from. Not every sync call is slow. I really wish they'd create some guaranteed fast sync methods from time to time rather than requiring everything to always be coated in multiple levels of async callbacks...

This is not a quick fix. It'll take some time to try and test this annoying proxy check bit once I fix it.

I've got a working fix that should be in next month's update. I just have to test it more first.

Flagfox 4.2.2 was released today with the fix. It will probably be approved by a Mozilla editor and be out for update just before the next Nightly to Aurora uplift (but it's not guaranteed).
