Ok maybe I'm confused, but here's what mine does. I go to the chicago tribune as an example and of course it wants me to login. I right click and click bugmenot and it does open a new tab with a login/pass for that site. Is it supposed to automatically put those values in the login form because right now I have to copy/paste.

I might be wrong, but it could help to put all calls to the prefs service in a try...catch. Most extensions I've pulled apart while learning do that, and Firefox seems to be touchy about prefs at the moment, so errors are possible, and will blow the extension out of the water.

I've had some conflicts with BugMeNot 0.4. It doesn't seem to like the nightlies, it doesn't seem to do the script transfer and when I keep clicking it. Nothing happens. I remember it happening only once, but it was a surprise but I never got the standard BugMeNot window to open up.
So I continue to use BugMeNot 0.3 which works just fine for now.

ant1832 Make sure you're running version 0.4
Well it continues to work for me.
I'm running firefox 0.9.2 on win xp with no svrce pack. I have mozlib, jslib, adblock 5d2, tabbrowser extensions 1.10.2004071201, Web Developer 0.8, Mouse Gestures 0.9.20040725, stumbleupon 1.994, image zoom 0.1.6, JavaScript Debuger 0.9.83
I would like to know if installing jslib or mozlib does anything for anyone who BugMeNot is not working for now.
I'm going to see if i can get bugmenot to (work/not work) on a clean install of firefox.

I found a bug that is on the scale of having the extension not work on new installs.
http://www.geocities.com/jacksmernov/bu ... index.html
For those of us who installed the ealier versions like myself and roachfiend, I preference called BugMeNot_LastLocation was saved and every time we opend up our browsers that preference would be avaliable to the BugMeNot Extension. But when people just installed the latest version , that preference was never set. So what happend is that when the code got to the point were it was asking for BugMeNot_LastLocation it did this
if (gpreferencesService.prefHasUserValue('BugMeNot_LastLocation'))
{
LastLastLocation = gpreferencesService.getCharPref('BugMeNot_LastLocation');
}
skiping over LastLastLocation. thus LastLastLocation never was insulized. so when
if (LastLastLocation == BugMeNot_LastLocation){
happend. bugmenot crocked.
So to fix this bug I simply inisulized LastLastLocation
var LastLastLocation = "";
And it worked on my clean install.
So try it out. We'll see if this works now

Well instead of finding a frame based registration I made a dumby one on my geocities account. So I tested it with the geocities thing, then i tested it with nytimes and it seamed to work. I then tested it on another clean install and it worked. So we should be cool.
