Convergence Addon Breaking in Firefox 18 #169

Open ghost opened 11 years ago

ghost commented 11 years ago

When running Firefox 18, along with Convergence enabled, pages that are supposed to load over SSL to have their certificates validated, fail to do so because proxyService.resolve is “not a function”. (Thanks, IonMonkey)

Obviously, sites loading over the clear via HTTP aren’t affected.

From the error console:

Error: proxyService.resolve is not a function

Line: 93

Some workarounds might be better than the original solution. I changed to FF 17 ESR and killed two birds with one stone. Convergence 0.09 keeps working and I got rid of this endless nail-biter "... there is a new version of Firefox". No technical solution, but very handy. Downgrade from 18.0.1 worked smoothly (backuped all Mozilla folders first).

Firefox 18 is now the default version on Fedora 18.
