Does not work with firefox 8.0 :(

darkpixel commented 13 years ago

Please check the README. FireGPG was abandoned by its author, we are simply holding a copy of the code on GitHub. I personally do not have time to work on maintaining FireGPG, but I will accept patches.

Consider checking out https://github.com/kylehuff/webpg-chrome or submit patches to FireGPG.

Thanks,

Thanks after I checked the source code I saw I need to recompile libfiregpg_ipc.32.so from source.

Would use webpg-chrome, but don't use chrome browser.. Prefer firefox, version 8 now available, version 9 out in December ;) Chrome is good but firefox is in my humble opinion better, will send in a commit patch for version 9 when it rolls out in December.

Thx

Scott

I totally understand the religious wars between browsers. I prefer lynx myself. ;)

I talked with the developer of the chrome extension and he said the only hold-up to porting it to Firefox is the way Firefox handles extensions and security. I may be misquoting, but something to do with the extension being isolated from any old web page being able to call it. In other words, under the Firefox security model it appears any website could potentially mess with keys whereas Chrome allows you to isolate the plugin so it can only be messed with by it's own popups and pages.

Ah that was the case, but firefox version 8 has a new feature, as an added security measure they've now made it impossible for addons to do that.. I like lynx use it myself, but also thats quite a statement from a chrome developer considering chrome does exactly the same thing, next to his webpg addon it says and I quote...

Webpg by Kyle Huff - This extension can access:

All data on your computer and the websites you visit
Your tabs and browsing activity
Your data on all websites

Browser wars what are those Lol, firefox 9 intends to include even more security and I understand Mozilla are turning it into a bit of a rolling release to try and compete with Chrome.. Hope they sort out addon compatibility issues sooner or later though as I am getting sick and tired of my addons not working because of some new update!

Some of those addons like fireGpg are brilliant it's just sadly easy to see why a lot of the addon developers go, you know what screw this I cant be bothered to recompile it all from source again.

All the Best

Firefox 9 should be available for everybody around about December.

Until then, I have to make do with backward compatibility on some addons, max version hacks for some and for the ones that just dont work, I guess I'll just have to live with it.. Thankfully there is always Lynx or Dillo..

When it comes to security I just silently reflect it's Security Enhanced Linux... Screw everything else it's SELinux... Problem with workers browsing youtube, daily-motion, facebook, twitter.. not a problem, simply type: setenforce=1 and reboot.. No-one can use any browser as there is no sandbox policy that allows access.. It's SELinux, problems with people abusing SSH to do funny things to root, disable Root Login and force all users to use su or sudo to obtain root access.. It's SELinux.. && I am the BOFH.. (grin)

LOL!

Hopefully Firefox gets that implemented and released soon--I would love to help get webpg-chrome ported to webpg-firefox.
