Topic: FireGPG compatibility with Firefox 3.0

Just downloaded Firefox 3.0b2 and I see that Firefox disables the FireGPG add-on with the reason that it does not support secure updates.  Probably because install.rdf points to a http instead of an https add-on update location.  Any plans in the near term on making FireGPG compatible with Firefox 3.0? Thanks for the great work!

Yes plans, but when the final version will be published smile

Firefox 3 is really interesting, even in its beta stage, beta 2 has a better memory management (many memory leaks were fixed). I hope you can implement Firefox 3 support before the final release.

I do not think I will get back to use FF2 because FF3 B2 memory management is far better (FF2 used to go beyond 700+ MB, I did not notice FF3 above 350 MB for the same number of opened tabs)

If you have the time to do it, do it, personaly I havn't wink.

Re: FireGPG compatibility with Firefox 3.0

FireGPG  works for me under Firefox 3.0 :) (both beta and nightly)
the only you need to do is modify install.rdf

(em:maxVersion="3.0.*")

There is also small problem with https requirement..
(em:updateURL="https://firegpg.tuxfamily.org/stable/update.rdf")
.. but it's not a problem of extension itself. Maybe it will be easier to put FireGPG on https://addons.mozilla.org/ ?

Mozilla dosen't wants for the moment.

Thanks for the information btw.

If you are interested in a good project hosting with SSL then may be you could use launchpad.net (from  Canonical/Ubuntu Linux) which uses SSL for everything.

Re: FireGPG compatibility with Firefox 3.0

I really like Firefox 3. It would be great to make version for F3 available before the final release, so we could test it in the beta stage.
Main problem seems to be the secure update. Can't that be made available at tuxfamily? You'll need a new certificate though.

Cheers, Jan

Already done in SVN. Wait .:)

Re: FireGPG compatibility with Firefox 3.0

I like the SVN -- but wait I should be quiet about this!  But I haven't tried Firefox3 yet!

Re: FireGPG compatibility with Firefox 3.0

The problem is it's done in SVN, and in the website's SVN , but we have some file to up to make all working, so with the SVN it's dosen't work for the moment. But all is ready.

Re: FireGPG compatibility with Firefox 3.0

I disabled the "secure updates check"(enter about:config into the address bar, create a new boolean value, name it extensions.checkUpdateSecurity and set it to false)
I disabled version checking with the nightly tester tools.
FireGPG now runs smoothly in my Fx3b3 :-)

Re: FireGPG compatibility with Firefox 3.0

Hum.. I remember there is a problem with gmail in FF3 (fixed in svn)...

Re: FireGPG compatibility with Firefox 3.0

ah! todays svn version works in ff3... sort of.
any menu/context-menu option gives the "select public key" window and does nothing else...

the xpi install fine, and the "decrypt this message" link in gmail works. setting preferences through the addons list works.
the connection with gpg-agent works fine as well, great!

anything I can do to help testing? I'm not a firefox coding adept, but getting my hands dirty with code is no prob.
I'm on:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008021416 Firefox/3.0b3

Arf, it's was something I add to work on this window..  Sorry.

Fixed, in SVN, you can re-checkout smile

FF 3.0 requires a digital signature. This should be easier than getting a SSL webhost for every possible extension out there.

Someone suggested McCoy for update manifests
