Taboo Extend Firefox 3 Entry

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 firefox taboo contest comments

Yosh, Ian and I were joined by Erwan today as we finished up Taboo for entry into Extend Firefox 3. It was a long day, but it ended with everything coming together, unlike the last contest where I submitted a few seconds too late (I submitted the first form on time, but the second form was too late last time).

We've got to do some more polish to make it so the the extension works in Firefox 2, Flock 1.2, as well as the new Firefox 3 (and Flock 2 Beta). Firefox 3 improvements include:

XUL panel element for UI consistent with star UI in FF3
Zip Writer component allows for for exporting ZIP backup (which can be imported)
Native JSON component for clearing sensitive data on export
Uses nsISessionStore.get/setTabState (proposed and added to FF3 for this extension to use - bug #393716)

You can see them in action here:

Quick question, please. I did a standard update and lost my Taboo icons. I know I can use my keyboard but it's not as convenient. I uninstalled and reinstalled but still no icons up on top. Any idea what happened? Thanks for your help. Love Taboo A LOT! Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16 Cher

A usability nightmare... There's must not be anyone thinking about the extension developer community at AMO. No feeds/reply emails on forum posts? What good is it then? Useless.
