Does not work with Shiretoko Web Browser (Firefox 3.5)

a little but of everything.
1. What is the problem?
2. what do you expect it to do
3. what does it do
4 What version of 3.1 are you using? (apt-cache policy firefox-3.1) will tell you
5. what are the exact steps you take to get whaat you get.
6 output of lsb_release -a
7. what extensions plugins ect.. do you have installed?
8. do they error as well?
9 anything else you can think of

1. Problem is ubufox isn't compatible (Firefox plugins allow you to set a compatability version)
2. Allow it to be installed in 3.1b3
3. 3.1b3 disables ubufox due to ubufox version number

firefox-3.1:
  Installed: 3.1~b3+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.1~b3+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.1~b3+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
Codename: jaunty

I'm not saying it won't work, I'm saying that it cannot be enabled without the compatible version being raised to at least 3.1b3.

Here's a blog post with what needs to be done so that the version will be compatible with Shiretoko:

After it runs in the browser, we can test the functionality.

Alexander i should have time to look at this before next week maybe over weekend. Please feel free to assign it to yourself if you have time to get to it. I will provide a debdiff if it works ;)

ok i got the fix and tested it. I'm going to branch it in a few.

This is the debdiff, Alexander let me know if you need more.

@Alexander
I added the debian dir to my branch i was wondering why you didnt have it in yours

Branch is https://code.launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/ubufox/ubuntu-0.x
Already been tested in 3.5 and 3.6 on my Jaunty system

Ignore the comment above about branch

Branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/ubufox/ubuntu-0.x
Added debian dir to last push in case it is not desired

It's too late here I'm not thinking for some reason.
OK:
debdiff still applies
I merged from core-dev branch
it is being updated at this time so should be ready to pull from in an hour or so. I will build it for PPA

I'm looking at this time but normally PPA builds all archs. I guess
ubufox only supports i386. I will talk to Alexander about adding support
for 64bit.

After talking with Alexander on IRC, Ubufox supports all archs. It
builds only one arch but that is used with all archs, so 64bit and i386
and other archs, uses the same build.

Sorry for the delay, here's my feedback:
I get the attached Javascript error when I open FF 3.5preb4

When I click the home icon, it takes me to the ubuntu home page like before.

When I try to use the plugin, it says Shiretoko cannot find addons. When I click browse ubuntu extensions, I did manage to install the launchpad extension for FF, but it doesn't seem to work. I think it might be a problem with that extension though.

It's actually worse than I previously posted. Navigation no longer works (Front and back arrows).

we disabled shiretoko support intentionally. We will enable it in a SRU once i have nailed down the reaons why it breaks parts of ffox 3.5 (which is why we didnt enable it in jaunty).

Ah, wonderful. Thank you for the update.

Fixed upstream:

bzr commit -m "* fix LP: #347972 - we don't unset gBrowser if its already set; this
  prevents gBrowser from being nulled in ffox >= 3.5 which caused null pointer errors
  in chrome places where gBrowser i needed.
  - update content/alternatePlugins.js" content/alternatePlugins.js --fixes lp:347972
Committing to: bzr+ssh://<email address hidden>/~asac/ubufox/main/
modified content/alternatePlugins.js
Committed revision 166.

release critical because ffox 3.5 will be our default browser in karmic.

SRU candidate for jaunty as we have ffox 3.5 in universe there.

further thinking reminds me that its completely disabled in jaunty atm; this means that this SRU would not only fix a bug, but enable ubufox everywhere, which seems to be beyond of what we can do in a SRU. Hence, wont fixing the jaunty target.

"release critical" != "critical"

> "release critical" != "critical"

ok. ... not sure though what would be more critical for this package than rendering firefox completely unusable.

This bug was fixed in the package ubufox - 0.8~a1-0ubuntu1
