FireFox 5.0

[john destefano]

Hi,

Just updated my OS (Ubuntu 11.04 -64) and got the latest version of
firefox which is 5.0. The GWT plugin no longer works. Says that it's
not compatible with 5.0. Any idea when a compatible version will be
released?

Thx

[Jim Douglas]

You must have installed a beta; the current released version of
Firefox is 4.0.1.

Firefox 5 is scheduled for release next Tuesday (June 21st).

AFAIK, FF5 is not out yet. So what you have is either FF4 or the FF5
preview. The plugin works with FF4. Do you really want the GWT team to
spend time on getting it to it to work with a *preview* version? :-)

[Khun Yee Fung]

I got FF5.0 when I updated my Ubuntu development box last week. A
mistake somewhere? I rolled it back to FF4.0.1 when the GWT plugin
would not run on it.

If you don't want to wait until FF5.0 is supported by GWT, you can
roll FF back to 4.0.1.

To roll back to 4.0.1,

1. Start Synaptic Package Manager
2. Search for firefox. And then click on the line.
3. Click on the "Package" menu item at the top (between "Edit" and
"Settings").
4. Choose "Force Version".
5. Select 4.0.1.

Click "Apply" to get FF 4.0.1 back.

Every time you update Ubuntu from now on, make sure FF is not updated
by un-selecting the checkbox beside FF.

…or check your "software sources" (don't know how they call it in English, but well, your package sources) and make sure you don't have any Firefox-related PPA, such as http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-next/ubuntu or http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu.

Or maybe you're updating to Oneiric rather than Natty? Oneiric has Firefox 5.0 beta: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/

[Chris Conroy]

Given that Mozilla has a very recent track record of making binary incompatible changes leading up to release (even after claiming they were frozen), it doesn't make sense for us to invest any time in supporting FF5 until we have at least some notion of the binary interfaces being stable. Presuming no major breakages, we should be able to support FF5 shortly after proper its proper release.

Hi,

I just upgraded to FF5, and now get the message "Development Mode requires the
Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin". But it doesn't work for FF5 (Sorry, the
GWT Developer Plugin only supports Firefox 3.0 - 4.0 at present). When should
it be working for FF5?

Thanks!

[ialpert]

I did the upgrade/downgrade myself today... Was going to use chrome's
version of the plugin but it's really under performing.

Firefox is automatically upgrading to version 5 today and then GWT plugin stops working. Since they have got the final release out now, it should be considered API frozen now right? 

[Chris Conroy]

As I said in my previous mail, there is going to be lag between their release and our ability to support Firefox 5. They released just yesterday, and upgrading the plugin sdks and spinning new builds is not the quickest process in the world. To continue working with GWT Devmode, you should either downgrade your installed version or simply run a Firefox 4 binary uninstalled (you can download, extract, and run by grabbing tarballs off of Mozilla's FTP server)

FireFox 5.0 is out today. I was alerted to it by FireFox 4.0.1, and
just downloaded it.

FF5 has been out for many days now and there's still
no gwt plugin for it so I'm still using ff4. I tried switching to chrome
but had many difficulties using it. I get errors in eclipse, and
my project causes chrome to always display "unresponsive script...
kill process or wait" message which gets annoying. One question
I have is,how to you change the default browser on
eclipse and speedtracer plugin?

I compiled the plugin for Fedora 15 x86_64 bit and it works for me.

[Thomas Broyer]

Support for Linux only for now: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi

[Hristo Sabev]

Any suggestions when the windows release would be available?

[Thomas Broyer]

I think it should be included now, along with OSX support, starting with r10402 a few hours ago.

[Chris Conroy]

The production update URL just went live :-) You should get an auto-update shortly, or you can manually grab the plugin from http://gwt.google.com/missing-plugin/MissingPlugin.html

I'll note that Mozilla didn't have an OSX 64 bit SDK released until this morning, and that was a blocker for our ability to release. Once the process for their new release schedule settles down, we'll hopefully be able to have quicker turnaround. That may take a couple of releases, however.

Excellent! Any insite into Chrome's slowness with the plugin (or
should i post a new discussion thread)?

[Chris Conroy]

Please discuss that on a separate thread. Short answer: there is some progress being made on a couple of fronts, but no real performance improvements to speak of yet.
