Fixes for extensions broken since new addon manager landed

[virus_found]

The latest commit for greasemonkey returns scripts to working condition. No need to alter anything in the extension. Though, problems with AoM interface still remain.

A working Stylish version is available!

Does anyone know how the FireFTP author can be contacted? As of yesterday, FireFTP doesn't work...

Seems the various drag and drop addons ceased to work with yesterday's build I believe. Too bad.

Probably due to Bug 545119 – Remove browser dependency on nsDragAndDrop.js

I was using the Drag'n'go code with the userChromeJS extension, the error console showed lots of "nsDragAndDrop is not defined" errors

I was able to install the rc2 version of Firefox (Weave) Sync using the File > Open File... method in today's Minefield/Trunk nightly so, at least, that should be available to us.

I got Image Zoom to semi-work: open its chrome folder and go inside imagezoom.jar. Inside the content folder, edit globals.js. Change the getAppVersion bit to:

Code: Select all

this.getAppVersion = function () {
        return "0.4.4";
    }

Make sure the changes to globals.js get saved inside the .jar, and then re-install the modified extension.

This is a hack; the real way would be to adapt Mossop's example here. It doesn't show up in the add-ons list, but it does work.

I'll play around with it to see if I can make it work for real, but this might tide some people over.

Hi,

Thanks for this info! Image Zoom is one of those great addons that you take for granted until it doesn't work anymore.

Modified addon is working well, showing up in the new/current AOM.

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks for the tip (in another thread) on updating weave to get the search bar working again.

Firefox sync (missing the old weave icon) is out of beta.

A working Stylish-Custom is available. Now Stylish is fully functional.

I missed the option to open extensions options menu like I had from Mr. Tech Toolkit, so I wrote an extension that worked with the new AOM. It's listed in the sandbox as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/162076/
I don't have any real coding training, but I messed around and it works for me. I thought others might use it too.

Great, thanks! Could you by any chance add a toolbarbutton?

You can easily build custom toolbar buttons for almost any setting in firefox here:

Thanks! Got me a restart button. But AM doesn't work, no surprises, of course.

I'm not sure if you were asking me about the extension, but it sounded like a good idea either way. Version 1.1 is now uploaded with a toolbar button that shows the menus.
edit: 1.2 is now up. I just changed the menu/menuitem icon classes which made it a tiny bit smaller.

[makondo]

AWESOME, Chris! Thanks a lot! It's goofy looking though - the dropmarker is at the bottom and it expands the toolbar a bit. It's so tiny i didn't realize it was a dropmarker!

#extensionsoptionsmenutoolbar dropmarker
{ display: none !important; }

What would be even greater is if Lclick would drop the menu and the Rclick would open the manager. There was a custom button from the Custom Buttons² ext. that i've been using that was working kinda like this (not really but along those lines, kinda. It has a dropmarker for menu and Lclick opens AM in the sidebar for me but there's another button that should open it in a window). But CB² doesn't work with 3.7. I'll try to find the button if you're interested, maybe you can reuse the code from there.

OK. Here's the button. You can see the code under tabs Code and Init.
