List.it is/will be broken on Firefox 4

[bomfog]

Since I haven't seen mention made, I thought I would.

It's been broken on trunk for a few weeks now, I think. Public beta is
(maybe?) in Sept, which might attract more notice.

I really miss list.it, but I'd miss trunk builds more, alas.

Hi there,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

List-It is still under active development (definitely not a dead
project) and we're definitely planning on supporting Firefox 4.

We're running Firefox 4.0b1 and List-It seems to work fine with it -
but nightly trunk is broken presumably because they started to
implement some of the changes listed on this page.

These changes bring about considerable complexity --particularly to
ensure that we do not break list-it for people running Firefox 3.x .

(GRR!)

If you have any experience about what changes we need to make (beyond
what is listed on the page) and are willing to help us out please let
us know :) Or know someone who can.

Otherwise I'll try to figure it out ASAP

Stay tuned..

Yours,
Max
on FF 4.0b1

Just a user, unfortunately. The guilty bug is

in case you hadn't come across it yet.
