Strange, had to reinstall it. Works now, thanks!

The latest release of Sage should be compatible with Firefox 8.

Hi, any news on when a FF8 compatible version will be out?

Sage is now listed as Firefox 6 compatible. Checking for updates should re-enable it.

It definitely doesn’t work with FF6. Any chance you’ll be making an update soon? Sage is my FAVORITE RSS reader and I really will miss it until there’s an update.

Do you get the compatibility reports from the “Add-on Compatibility Reporter”[1] add-on?

Definitely. I was thinking the same. I think version 1 of the API should have had a sidebar API however they seem to be focusing on the most trivial things that your average joe apparently wants to. Things like putting an item in the main context menu and toolbars and trivia like that. Given sidebar is Sage’s primary UI definitely need support for that. On the other hand the JetPack devs were reasonably open to feedback when I was looking at JetPack 3 to 6 months ago. Can’t hurt to drop them a suggestion on their discussion group:

True, I could be putting in a few more words about the fixes that are going in. I’ll see what I can do. The problem is that with these maintenance releases, it’s not terribly interesting. I include links to the closed issue reports so that those who are interested can drill all the way down to the code commits if they like. In the case of a minor or major release, I would definitely spend more time talking about the new functionality.

Thanks for fixing this one. Think of this as a suggestion, but it would be cool if you could provide a short blog post on what changed and how you fixed it. Might help create some new maintainers.

Moving away from chrome overlays would be the biggest challenge in a move to the Add-on SDK. I'm not sure there's a way to provide a traditional sidebar yet.

Thanks for this, excellent timing. Brilliant! The rapid-release cycle would be a nightmare without the Sage people keeping up.

Re JetPack, it offers shortcuts to old-school components and interfaces AFAIK:

const {Cc, Ci} = require(“chrome”);

This allows access to the full old-school APIs AFAIK, such as I was writing something where I wanted to access to nsIFilePicker’s ability to prompt users for a folder. The JetPack file API cannot do this, only allowed prompting for files. So I did this sort of thing:

const nsIFP = Ci.nsIFilePicker;

var dirPicker = Cc["@mozilla.org/filepicker;1"].createInstance(nsIFP);

and away I went.

Perhaps this approach can help you switch to JetPack even though simple APIs like a sidebar API are not yet available for JetPack?

I'm keeping an eye on the Add-on SDK (aka Jetpack), but it's still a young project and doesn't offer access to all of the extension points that Sage makes use of. That may change at some point in the future. It would certainly be nice to be more insulated from the Firefox internals. Thanks for your offer to help. I'm always willing to review patches or other contributions. Feel free to send them my way.

any chance that Sage could ‘evolve’ into a JetPack style of add-on so you won’t have to worry about the new Moz rapid release cycle? If that is a potential lemme know and I’ll do what i can to help out. SAGE is (and always has been) my fav Firefox RSS add-on tool.

I haven’t done any testing on upcoming releases past Firefox 5. I’d be happy to hear any feedback from people experimenting with those builds.

Hazzaaah! and Thank-you!! Quick q – are you set up for Firefox 6 and 7 now too? Or will you have to do the ‘heavy lifting’ again for those releases?
