[jedbro]

hey, can we add this to ER?

if so, could you e-mail us:
extension's name, size, install url, small description, long description, and the authors name, e-mail and/or website and ScreenShot URL's with captions for each image..

Thanks!!!

o_O

You're kidding, right? This is the browser extension equivalent of Janet Jackson's nipple or Conan O'Brien's recent trip to Canada!

Heheheh...anyways, I'll think about it. I'd like to add a user interface and a few other features before having it listed anywhere other than this forum. I'm really glad so many people enjoy it, though -- and I wonder how many people are using it to revert the name back to Firebird or Phoenix...

This extension really rock, dude!

I thought I PMed new topic to you, but I coundn't find it both outbox and sentbox. Then again...

..., but it does require installing a JavaScript file in the Components directory and I don't think I want to do that just yet. I'll hold off until there's a way to do it at runtime from within an extension.

I edited it to have it be within an extension.

Code: Select all

var AboutFireSomethingService =
{
   impl:
   {
      ioService:null,
      newChannel:function(uri)
      {
         if(!this.ioService)
            this.ioService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"]
                        .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService);
         return this.ioService
               .newChannel("chrome://firesomething/content/about.xhtml",null,uri);
      },
      QueryInterface: function(iid)
      {
         if (   !iid.equals(Components.interfaces.nsISupports) &&
            !iid.equals(Components.interfaces.nsIAboutModule))
               throw Components.results.NS_ERROR_NO_INTERFACE;
         return this;
      }
   },

   factory:
   {
      createInstance: function(outer, iid)
      {
         if (outer != null) 
            throw Components.results.NS_ERROR_NO_AGGREGATION;

         if (   !iid.equals(Components.interfaces.nsIAboutModule) &&
            !iid.equals(Components.interfaces.nsISupports))
            throw Components.results.NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG;
         return AboutFireSomethingService.impl.QueryInterface(iid);
      }
   },

   register:function()
   {
      var compman=Components.manager;
      compman.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIComponentRegistrar);
      var cid= Components.ID('{1dd0cb48-aea3-4a52-8b29-01429a542863}');
      var contractid = "@mozilla.org/network/protocol/about;1?what=firesomething";

      if(!compman.isCIDRegistered(cid))
         compman.registerFactory(cid,"AboutFireSomethingService",contractid,this.factory)
   }
}

//register
AboutFireSomethingService.register();

The last line AboutFireSomethingService.register(); doesn't have to be there as long as browser call that function at least once per session (e.g.move it to init func or onload event listener etc.)

edit : er, it still looks ugly.
please dl from here.

Torisugari you totally rock! You're my hero!

You probably saved me from 500 hours of headaches, too. XPCOM documentation twists my mind in a knot. >_<

[JDK]

Please, PLEEAASSEE!!! do a version for Mozilla. Life just isn't any fun unless the whole family's involved.

[Torisugari]

I found it can be more flexible.
above register() requires no arguments, but...

Code: Select all

var AboutFireSomethingService=
{

...

...

   register:function(browserName)
   {
      var compman=Components.manager;
      compman.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIComponentRegistrar);
      var cid= Components.ID('{1dd0cb48-aea3-4a52-8b29-01429a542863}');
      if(!browserName) browserName="firesomething";

      var contractid = "@mozilla.org/network/protocol/about;1?what="+browserName;

      if(!compman.isCIDRegistered(cid))
         compman.registerFactory(cid,"AboutFireSomethingService",contractid,this.factory)
   }
} ;

Now that browser can redirect from about:Lightningdragon to the book of mozilla, if init function knows browser's name.

[old momokatte]

The init function could know the browser's name, but the extension generates a new name for each new browser window unless firesomething.samename is set to true -- and I'm going to make it simple for the user to generate a new name in the future. I think I'll just keep about:firesomething for now.

[intatia]

about:firesomething hahahahaha:):) Nice.

[old momokatte]

1.0.6.

Some people are gonna hate me for this, but I couldn't stop myself. about:firefox has been added as well. Let me know what you think of the text.

Also, Ctrl+` now generates a new product name for the current window (or all windows if you have firesomething.samename enabled).

[Spewey]

Cool. I love the daily updates. My question about the about:firefox parable:

Why did it sit around contemplating? Can't we rewrite that part to make it look like a flash of brilliance?

[old momokatte]

Why did it sit around contemplating?

It was busy finalizing trademarks and making new graphics.

The Book of Mozilla 8:10? That should be The Book of Mozilla 2:9.

[intatia]

Weeeee!

There is a problem with this extension and web-page-titles includeing non english characters. The title just gets cut off at the first occurrens of such a character. Visit this url to see what I mean...

This is probably not to hard to fix.


...And thanks for an absolutely wounderfull extension.
