A backwards perspective.

An old friend decided to drop by this weekend:

Mozex-testo 1.13

Works with Firefox 3 now on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Might work on Firefox 2, pretty sure anything older won’t work.

Here’s the Mac incantation for MacVim users:

/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g "+set syntax=html" %t

Now that it’s caught up to FF3 standards, I think I will work on implementing a couple of the features I’ve had in mind for a while.

Every time I work on one of these extensions, it’s 50% rage over the inconsistent (and contradictory) documentation on extension development, and 50% joy over actually getting the thing to work.

    Why thank you, Jose. The real extension, mozex, is actually being maintained again but this little guy was a nice break from doing other things.

    Works as advertised. I’m back in business again. Thanks.

    I like how ff3 puts the little icon “inside” the textarea–doesn’t break up the css as it did with ff2…

    Hmm… New box, new ubuntu (9.04), new firefox (3.0.13), no mozex? What’s going on? I don’t see the icon. Need a break? Anything you can do to get be back in testo-land would be appreciated.

    Regarding comment from 8/14/2009… Had to restart firefox yesterday and magically I have testo today… Hmmm.. Anyway, just sayin’ it must “write itself”. Keep kool, you bum.
