rmd 1.4.6 & no rmd for firefox 3
Last month I put together a 1.4.6 build of the Remember Mismatched Domains extension for Firefox and Thunderbird. This update is pretty much just a “maintenance release” making RMD more compatible with SELinux as well as fixing a couple of my usual localization screw ups. (Thanks to Josh for both pointing out the SELinux issue as well suggesting how to solve it).
The more exciting announcement for this update is that I’m hoping version 1.4.6 will be the final release. Back in October I wrote about the new security exception features in Firefox 3 which essentially provide the functionality that RMD has been providing for the past couple of years. Since then Firefox 3 has been steadily moving through the beta stage and soon enough will be released. (Thunderbird users will be happy to hear that the same security exception features are available in the nightly builds of the still very early Thunderbird 3). What this all means in the long run is that RMD will not be available for Firefox 3. Please note that I have every intention to continue maintaining the extension for Firefox 2 for as long as it is a Mozilla supported product.
Now’s the time to voice your questions, concerns…
