New Software: ThunderBrowse Command Line Handler

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

This is just a program I’ve had lying around on my hard drive for awhile and I thought I would release it.

Several people wanted to have ThunderBrowse as their default browser. This addon allows ThunderBrowse to take urls from the command line. You still need to modify some registry values to make ThunderBrowse the default browser, but this is the first step.

How to use

The format to pass urls to ThunderBrowse is:

Thunderbird.exe -tbrowse URL

Where URL is the url to browse to.

What it does

If a Thunderbird window is open, a new ThunderBrowse tab will be created via this method. If no Thunderbird window is open, a ThunderBrowse window will be created.

The addon should support all applications that ThunderBrowse supports (Thunderbird, Postbox, Spicebird).

As with pretty much all other projects, you can’t redistribute this. You can link to this category for updates.

ThunderBrowse 3.3.2 has been uploaded to AMO

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

I have just uploaded version 3.3.2 to AMO.

In addition to the things I mentioned in my last post, this next version has:

  • New throbber/progress meter code
  • Fixes in tab registration to make it faster and more precise
  • Fixed issue that caused event handlers to unhook incorrectly.
  • Fixed some plugin issues. This may or may not reset your plugin settings. This should fix most of your plugin issues.

A note on the plugin fix: Because plugins have to initialize, they are loaded before a page starts to load. In order to maintain security, any page that was loaded from an email does not have plugins enabled. Pages from there on will have plugins enabled.

Do note, plugins that are in use will increase memory use. There is no way to get around that. However, memory usage should drop a bit when you close those tabs.

We are back

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

So after a server migration, ThunderBrowse is now back online. Hooray!

I apologize for not giving a heads up to this downtime, I was unaware that the servers were going to go down. But now we don’t have to worry about that!

So basically, the old server went down was because ThunderBrowse was on a shared hosting account and the other people on the server decided to leave but not tell anyone else, thus the hosting account was suspended. This caused everyone to see the account was suspended while I migrated over to a brand new server.

I apologize for any confusion this might have caused. None of your accounts were closed, only our hosting account.

Thanks for understanding and I hope you continue to enjoy using ThunderBrowse.
