Extensions not compatible with firefox 6. (83.30 KB, image/jpeg)
2011-08-25 09:37 CEST, Dave Hodgins
Details

Description Alejandro Cobo 2011-06-30 18:29:47 CEST
Description of problem:
Some days ago, Mozilla released Firefox 5 with new functionalities and security issues solved. The new release is into the new Mozilla's release cicle (a mayor version every some weeks). So now, the Firefox 4.0.1 users have those vulnerabilities and in the future the problem will be bigger and bigger for Firefox 4 users. Will you apply the new release cicle into Mageia or we will have Firefox 4 until a new Mageia release?

Thanks.
Comment 1 D Morgan 2011-06-30 18:43:52 CEST
as FF4 is on EOF, we will provide FF5 in updates sooner or later ( sooner i hope, i need to fix patches in the rpm first )

Hi all

I think that it's important to have the firefox updates more quickly than today.
Firefox 5.01 fixes some bugs that fixes bugs of Firefox 4.01.
My other PC that is under Debian Squeeze, turn now with Firefox 5.01 !!!

Comment 5 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-21 08:29:23 CEST
FWIW, bug 1880 should maybe block the update, it's cosmetic, yes, but it's very visible to the users.

Comment 6 Florian Hubold 2011-07-24 17:48:13 CEST
Is there some progress here?

I'm using locally built, from cauldron backported Firefox 5 packages since over 1 month without a problem. AFAIK, there isn't even an update candidate?

CC: (none) => doktor5000

Comment 7 D Morgan 2011-07-24 18:06:41 CEST
yes this is ready to go in updates but please stop arguing this required a lot of work as  the packaging changed.

arguing won't help packagers to work faster. I will push today in updates_testing
Comment 8 Florian Hubold 2011-07-24 18:38:09 CEST
Sorry, maybe you misunderstood.
I didn't want to argue, only wanted to know if there is some progress or already an ETA.

But thanks for the information.

Comment 13 Luc Menut 2011-07-25 23:10:21 CEST
most of the extension need to be updated in order to work with firefox 5.
the maxVersion from extensions's install.rdf in Mga 1 are:
firefox-ext-adblock-plus        4.2a1pre
firefox-ext-bugzilla-tweaks     6.0a1
firefox-ext-download-statusbar  4.0.*
firefox-ext-firebug             4.0.*
firefox-ext-foxyproxy           4.0.*
firefox-ext-greasemonkey        4.0.*
firefox-ext-noscript            6.0a1
firefox-ext-xmarks              4.2a1pre

some extensions must be updated in cauldron also; maxVersion for extensions in cauldron:
firefox-ext-adblock-plus        7.0a1
firefox-ext-bugzilla-tweaks     6.0a1
firefox-ext-download-statusbar  4.0.*
firefox-ext-firebug             4.0.*
firefox-ext-foxyproxy           4.0.*
firefox-ext-greasemonkey        7.*
firefox-ext-noscript            8.0a1
firefox-ext-xmarks              6.0a1


btw, I wonder if we shouldn't translate the maxVersion from the install.rdf, in rpm's Requires: firefox <= %{firefox_epoch}:maxVersion.
e.g. maxVersion = 6.0a1 => Requires: firefox <= %{firefox_epoch}:6.0

Luc

Packages depending on xulrunner and libxulrunner maybe ? I heard that some packages break easily upon update of libxulrunner, but I don't know if it's still true and why.
Comment 15 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-26 11:45:02 CEST
From bug 2276, please test that myspell dictionaries still work with FF5; according to the OP in that bug, myspell dictionaries aren't picked up with FF5 (in the brief test I did in Cauldron, neither myspell nor hunspell dictionries are picked up from the system).

Comment 16 Florian Hubold 2011-07-26 13:11:24 CEST
Well, as far as launch feedback, goes, i also set this to 3 seconds in systemsettings, and firefox respects that. Also spellchecking seems working here, at least english.
On right-click in a text field -> Languages it only shows
English / United States of America
And i have also set spellchecker.dictionary to de-DE, seems to have no effect anymore. 

Also since Firefox 3 not myspell is used but hunspell, so what myspell packages are installed is irrelevant.

Firefox does not seem to pickup the dictionary anymore.
But shouldn't the user need to install additional dictionaries himself?

System myspell-* dictionaries should work with firefox-5.0.1-1.2 in core/updates_testing.
Comment 22 Florian Hubold 2011-07-31 00:10:33 CEST
Tested, but seems englisch dictionary is missing.

[doktor5000@mageia1 ~]$ rg myspell | sort
myspell-de_AT-1.0.2-30.mga1
myspell-de_CH-1.0.2-30.mga1
myspell-de_DE-1.0.2-30.mga1
myspell-en_US-1.0.2-30.mga1

Of those 4, only the de_* dictionaries get picked up.
Would that be correct?

No, all of them should work. I tested installing:
myspell-en_US
myspell-fr_FR
myspell-de_DE

and I get:
English / United States
French
German / Germany

in firefox spell checking options (accessed by right clicking a misspelled word).

What's the output of:
ls -l /usr/lib*/firefox-5.0.1/dictionaries
ls -l /usr/lib*/firefox-5.0.1/dictionaries/

Also please test in a new FF profile.
Comment 24 Florian Hubold 2011-07-31 09:53:54 CEST

New profile doesn't change anything.



Something must have removed the two english dictionaries:

missing     /usr/share/dict/mozilla/en-US.aff
missing     /usr/share/dict/mozilla/en-US.dic

Hello,  

So,with the bug fix "firefox-5.0.1-1.2.mga1.x86_64" it works for me now.

The French dictionary is present On right-click in a text field -> Languages ->
English / United States of America
French

And for The StartupNotify, i also set this to 5 seconds in
systemsettings, and firefox respects that.


It's OK for me and thank you to all the team.

Hello,

Why not propose updates to thunderbird and firefox with no extensions to these are available more quickly in filing update. The extensions are available as xpi on the mozilla site and work well.

Firefox and Thunderbird are already at version 6 and mageia offers only the 4 and 3 for firefox to thunderbird.

Using Firefox 6.0 as a private rebuild from cauldron since a bit over a week, together with latest Flashplayer 11 beta2, also rebuilt from cauldron. No problems so far, but it feels quite snappier loading new tabs.

You are talking about extension (mozilla-esteid), not about plugin.



https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2456 Update validated, needs sysadmins to push it.

What else is stopping fx update?
Comment 61 D Morgan 2011-08-23 23:18:38 CEST
i think this is OK now.

For moonlight i don't see this blocking but this will need an update soon.
Comment 62 Dave Hodgins 2011-08-23 23:26:30 CEST
I have updates testing enabled, so I shouldn't be seeing the message about
the Estonian ID module being incompatible with Firefox 6.

That given, I don't think this should block the release of firefox 6.
I also don't think a plugin such as moonlight should block release either.

I'm in favour of validating the firefox 6 release.

Something is wrong.  I'm still seeing both noscript and the estonian card
reader extensions as being incompatible with firefox 6.

The Estonian card reader extension, I would not consider blocking the update
for, but the noscript, I consider a blocker.

Create a new emtpy profile (firefox -P -no-remote) and test there. To me it seems to be some problem with profiles. Extension itself should be OK (at least esteid one).

I deleted ~/.mozilla, and that cleared up the Estonian card reader extension
being shown as imcompatible.

For noscript though, it's still showing 2.1.0.3 as disabled.
# rpm -qa |grep firefox-ext-noscript
firefox-ext-noscript-2.1.0.3-1.1.mga1

I think we need new policy that restricts importing Mozilla extensions that can be downloaded from amo. Latest NoScript is 2.1.2.6, our update is 2.1.0.3. That doesn't make any sense. And it really makes updating proccess hard to happen :/
Comment 72 D Morgan 2011-08-25 10:51:09 CEST
please test new firefox-ext-noscript

The benefit of installing a rpm package, is that it's system wide, so
a system with many users won't have the same plugin/extension installed
for every user.

The problem, is that firefox will encourage users to update to the latest
version, resulting in duplication anyway, and it slows down our testing.

I'm in favour of restricting updates that can be downloaded via the get
plugins/extensions, and removing those we have.

With the package from the srpm
firefox-ext-noscript-2.1.2.3-0.1.mga1.src.rpm
installed, all extensions and plugins are now working in firefox 6.

firefox-6.0-1.1.mga1.src.rpm

Hello,

Tested firefox-6.0.1-1.1.mga1 on Mageia release 1 (Official) for x86_64 
and for me it's Ok. Nothing to report.

->For the StartupNotify ,still Ok.
->And for the French dictionary,nothing to report, still OK.
->Also,I test  the flash-player-plugin11 in cauldron deposit and it's Ok:
flash-player-plugin11-kde-11.0.1.98-0.b2.080811.2.mga2.nonfree
flash-player-plugin11-11.0.1.98-0.b2.080811.2.mga2.nonfree
->For extension "ext" I don't know because I use "xpi" extension and it works perfectly.


A big thank you to D Morgan ,for this great job quickly and efficiently.
