3.3.3 and Email reading bugs

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

I’ve gotten several reports that users have not been able to read their emails while using the NM version of tabs. The workaround is to not use the TB3[NM] version of tabs and instead just use TB3 tabs until the fix is released.

The fix has already been uploaded to AMO.

Announcing ThunderBrowse 3.3.3

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

Notice: This post was written waaaaaay back in August.

So during the downtime between hosts, I did a couple of modifications to ThunderBrowse to improve it and add some new stuff. And because everything is better in list form, here you go:

  • Improvements in favicon handling
  • Fixed the invalid host name error
  • Added tab browsing support to the popup window
  • Improved page loading code
  • Improved event handling
  • Fixed issues with links not capturing in events
  • Fixed chrome content issues
  • Popups now load into tabs (this is highly experimental [to tell you the truth, this was the by product of improving the loading code]). This might not always work, and I don’t plan on making popups permanently load in tabs.
  • General improvements
  • Fixed email bar problems
  • Updated compatibility support. Postbox 2 now works.

I’ve just uploaded this version to AMO and I predict it will be approved soon. From here on out, expect sparse updates for ThunderBrowse, for reasons I mentioned in my last post.

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.
