New Prism 1.0b3pre Build, Now With Mozilla 1.9.2

January 15, 2010 – 2:56 pm

Based on feedback from my last post, I fixed the extension version numbers (including the Firefox maxVersion) in Prism 1.0b3pre. I also decided to build on top of Mozilla 1.9.2 instead of 1.9.1. My policy has been to use the version of Mozilla that underlies the most recent official Firefox release, but in this case I’ve made an exception (hopefully Firefox 3.6 is just around the corner anyway). As Mark Finkle remarked to me, “be ahead instead of behind”, a statement I’m sure conceals some sort of deep Confucian wisdom.

The new builds are in the same place as the old ones:

Download Prism Standalone Version for Mac or Windows

Download Prism for Firefox extension for Mac or Windows

  2. Cant resist: /Mozilla 1.9.2/Gecko 1.9.2/

  3. Oh bah. The tree is called mozilla1.9.2. Anyone who knows what Gecko 1.9.2 is will know what I mean by Mozilla 1.9.2. There’s at least a plausible case to be made that the converse is not true. Why make the already confusing version numbering even more cryptic?

  4. Thank you soo much to the work! I just Prism both at work and home and simply loove it. No idea how I could live without it before!
    Thanx again!

  5. Awesome :)
    Still problems to release Linux versions ?

  6. This is awesome! Thanks a lot for your hard work.

    Is there any chance https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538163 is getting any attention soon?

    Being able to use HTML5 offline storage in Prism would be awesome, and really make it possible to offline apps to run within Prim — without installing Google Gears.

  7. I was waiting for some info from the Mozilla Ubuntu team. I’ll try to get the Linux builds done on Monday.

    I don’t have any plans to work on HTML5 stuff but I’m happy to look at patches. Since we’re planning to move to using Firefox as the basis for Prism (rather than XULRunner), this might get “fixed” automatically.

  8. Thanks for the addon, but it is not compatible with my version of Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; cs; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

  9. I’ll make sure the version of the extension that goes up on AMO is compatible with Firefox 3.6. Right now I used the latest Firefox version number which is 3.6pre.

  10. Hi Matt – seems the extension is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 after all.
