Hi,

I just tested on Ubuntu 7.10, FireFox 2.0.0.13 and seemingly brand new firewatir-1.1.1.gem (from http://code.google.com/p/firewatir/downloads/list , uploaded just 13 hours ago) and the example in point 3 above works perfect out of the box.

Will now start testing version 4.01 of scrubyt.org

I am trying to get this going on Ubuntu 7.10 with Firefox 2.0.0.12 and it won’t work. I tried installing your jssh plugin with no difference in results. I can launch firefox with the -jssh option and it opens, but when i try to telnet to it it refuses the connection.

>telnet localhost 9997
Trying 127.0.0.1…
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I found a forum thread saying to launch FF and then use netstat, i dont see anything in that output that looks like firefox or that mentions that port. Ant ideas? :)

Hi
I am running on a 64 bit machine . I have managed to compile Firefox 1.8 branch with the jssh extension . (using the -j4 flag )

But on starting up the firefox with the -jssh option I get
Error: Components.classes[’@mozilla.org/jssh-server;1′] has no properties
Source File: file:///home/hvram/mozilla/ff-jssh/dist/bin/components/nsJSShStarter.js
Line: 132

I have tried the following but of no help
a) Starting with a -P option for a separte profile
b) Deleting the compreg.dat in the profile to allow registration

I can see that the extensions directory under bin does not contain jssh but the jssh.manifest and the associated directores is present in the chrome directory .

I would appreciate if you can point me to any specific pointers on getting the “21st century method “

Nice work, viz! Any chance you can publish the patch so we don’t have to wait for integration? Please (with begging)?

The plugin seems to work with FireWatir 1.0.2 and Firefox 2.0.0.2 on Mac OS X Tiger (Intel). I’ve detailed how I got it working here:

Hi Viz,

Thanks a lot for the change. I’ll try it on my machine and will let you know.
