I'm not sure any of the devs are still around, but it would be nice if
Ubiquity was compatible with Firefox 3.6 beta. There's a way to bypass
the check of course (using Nightly Tester Tools extension), but it's
weird that Mozilla Labs project would be incompatible with the latest
beta when 70% of popular extensions are already compatible.

And it's really sad there are no updates anymore. Where are you,
Ubiquity developers?

Hi Timofei.
It's true we haven't been doing a good job of releasing new builds, and I don't know exactly when the next will be, so I dare not venture to guess.

However, you might benefit from trying out the development version, which you can get from here: https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/hg/ubiquity-firefox/archive/tip.zip

Best regards,

I think the problem is that the manifest does not list 3.6b4(?) as supported in the latest xpi of Ubiquity.

Here, the install.rdf says:

    <targetApplication><rdf:Description>
      <!--Firefox--><id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</id>

Fernando,

What version is that? In my experience none of the below installs in
Namoroka nightlies:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9527
http://ubiquity.mozilla.com/xpi/ubiquity-latest-beta.xpi
https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/xpi/ubiquity-latest-dot-next.xpi

On a side note, what's the current home page for the project? I found
these:
https://mozillalabs.com/ubiquity
http://ubiquity.mozilla.com

Thanks,
Alex

The source version. You'll need to do

hg clone https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/hg/ubiquity-firefox

and then

python manage.py install

Would that get published as .xpi anytime soon?
I wasn't really planning to install Mercurial and Python just to get
an extension =)

I just wanted to try it here with the 2nd RC of 3.6 and it didn't
work. Isn't it possible to edit the install.rdf - can I do it here
maybe locally?
Sorry, but I have not delt with Firefox based development yet but
would like to start with testing Ubiquity.

Thanks a lot,
Carsten

Would this be released now that 3.6 is "out in the wild"

I heard Atul talking about doing this very soon. So yes: there will be a
new official version, and it will be compatable with Firefox 3.6.

Don't know if they will continue or not but meanwhile theres a way to
get around and make it work in 3.6, just check this out:

http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla/topics/when_will_ubiquity_support_firefox_3_6b4

Thou it says 3_6b4 it work great under the official release.

What's really odd is that I can get FF3.6 to run Ubiquity 0.1.9, but
not 0.5. How's that for odd?

This post seems to suggest a patch to fix it should be out ?
http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/whats-up-with-ubiquity/#comments

anyone know if there is any patched version out there - as much as I
would like to see this migrate into taskfox
and be more in the address bar based I was just really gettingt into
it

I have found that with the add on comptablity checker that UB will
sometimes on launching FF
report setup failed - so I disabled it

I'm using the beta and the compatibility checker and it's fine for me.
