Greasefire Cant Usable With Firefox 4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

 When i install firefox 4's offical version (not rc or beta) greasefire looks like disabled and not suitable with firefox 4.0 and i had to remove (uninstall it)

 Can Greasefire's coder make greasefire usable with firefox 4?

 Thanks...

I don't know about any of you but I'm tired of seeing this project duct taped 
together by strangers, I believe this project development should be re-opened 
with some capable hands willing to spend the time to improve and fix issues, I 
don't know about you but I don't see any movement here besides users who are 
reporting issues but the author isn't doing anything because either he's dead 
or has better things to do, I have no idea. I just want to see it flourish. I'm 
sure someone is up to the task around here.

Duct tape is currently the only way to do it.  Steve has made no efforts to 
incorporate it into FF4... however I don't blame him since there are still some 
unresolved issues left in FF4.

I hacked a bit on it a while back and got it to work in a few of the nightlies 
but I rarely use it anymore... although I would like to.

@greasefire developer
Will there be a ff4 compatible version of greasefire?

It's such a great addon!
With FF3.6x I used it all the time.
I'd love to have it with FF4 again.

I have done a fork version which add firefox4 support just now.
http://files.tonyq.org/firefox/greasefire-1.0.4.1-fx.xpi

Or use the one in attachment.

Working DEMO 
http://screencast.com/t/uQqrfGny14a

The defails below
1.XPCOM Registration , including the observer.
2.Follow Grease monkey's UI change
3.Add-on Manager instead of old extensionManager and it's async now....old 
implementation count on sync process , so it got error. 
 Just get a workaround for getInstallLocation to use dictory service now.
4.default xpi is not unpacked anymore by default after firefox4 , so we can't 
get file in indexes directly , 
  add uppack flag in install.rdf

The updated index service might still exist some error , 
but anyway the base functionality is working now.

t-started/

I will refactor my change and then mail my code diff to the author.

I'm so glad you got it working again!!
Bravo!!

Some issues:
- the "update now (index)" doesn't work:
yes, it shows the downloading process, 
but, after it finishes, it still has the old index (May 09)
(I had to manually download the file 
http://skrul.com/projects/greasefire/indexes/index_2011-04-24T09:00:00Z.jar
  [got the update url by using livehttpheaders]
and extracted it to 
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\MyProfile\extensions\grea
sefire@skrul.com\indexes
- the column Rank works for sorting, but it's empty (no bars).
- the greasemonkey icon is not highlighted when compatible user scripts are 
found.

Thank you

Still a new fork version for Firefox4 support,
The newer enhance with 1.0.4.2 :
1 fix the index update service.
2. update the default indexes script db to update to date by default. (So its 
size grow 800kb.)
http://files.tonyq.org/firefox/greasefire-1.0.4.2-fx.xpi

For the rank and the icon , let's defer it to next release...got to trace more.

Works like a charm. Thanks for keeping up the work on this project. Ever since 
Greasemonkey was updated for Firefox 4.0 have I been waiting and searching for 
this.

I do some trace , I found the rank actually is working and the value is 
correct, 
but still dunno why the progress didn't show up .

Need to check what's difference for the progress bar between FF3.6 and FF4,
for the Icon , it's a easy one.

See if I could get it ready this weekend.

Firefox 4 support

Still a new fork version for Firefox4 support,
The newer enhance with 1.0.4.3 :
1.fix the picker rank view
   I found the reason for the progress , it's broken by the css ,
   I simply remove some css on it and make it shows up not too weird. :-)

2.the picker view shows updated date as default now ,you could hide it if you 
need.
   Just thinking that will make you choose the user script easier,
   and I think there's not many users could find the config to show it.

   But sure , if could hide it , if that's a problem for this change , please let me know.

3.The "fire" background for grease monkey is back now.
  Just follow the view change with grease monkey and set correct background. :)

For more detail or bug report , please reference to
http://code.googley.com/p/greasefire/issues/detail?id=20

btw, I notice that there's not only greasemonkey ,but also a scriptfish ,
maybe I will try to support scriptfish if I have free time.

Anyway , it's time to refactor my change....

Great!!
Just make it compatible with Firefox 4.0.1(released yesterday)

PS. +1 for Scriptish.

About Firefox 4.0.1 , if there exists any known issue now?

I will try to refactor the code and contact the author first.

It's not good for me to handle a fork version , 
it's better to make the trunk alive.

When I try to update to 1.0.4.3
I get "Greasefire could not be installed because it's not compatible with 
Firefox 4.0.1".

ok , I almost forgot it.

Try to download http://files.tonyq.org/firefox/greasefire-1.0.4.3-fx.xpi again 
and use it to test.

I updated the maxVersion now , if there's any issue ,please feel free to inform 
me , thanks for your kindly reminder. :)
