Addons Manager Hilite3.0b1 is now available for testing:
Changes since 2.1.2.1:
* Saved selections for hilite now stored in pref rather than in localstore.rdf
* Saved selections now stored as name/value pairs
* Fixed appearance of hover highlight on Firefox 40+
* Minor cosmetic fix to Options panel (Correct size of Input field for entering 'Listbox Size')
* Remove apparently no longer necessary delays
* Drop support for UIextra hidden pref (broken since version 2.1)
* Add sorting buttons to AoM page (hidden in categories known to supply sort buttons)
* Drop Alphabetical & Updated sort prefs (use sorting buttons instead)
* Attempt to auto-detect categories
Known Issues:
* Clicking the "Enabled" sort button on another category causes the "Extensions" category to become selected. Fix planned for next version.
*If "Always Restore Hilite" option is disabled, the previously used sort order is not restored after closing/re-opening the Add-ons Manager.
Important Note: Due to change in method of storing the saved hilite, a one time reset of your saved hilite data will occur. If you downgrade to version 2.*, your hilites previously saved from 2.* will be restored from localstore.rdf. It is not necessary to delete that previously saved data, but if you wish to do so, uninstall 2.1.2 prior to installing 3.0. (If you've already installed 3.0, you can still delete the old data by reinstalling 2.1.2, uninstalling it, then installing 3.0.) Sorry for the inconvenience; this change was necessary to make saving/restoring more robust.
This provides a signed version on the beta (dev) channel in preparation for signing enforcement.
