Where do we download the extention? I can't find any sites that host it, and links given in the beginning of this thread have long expired. So where do we go to get this?

Everytime I use the quick reply function, after I hit submit, the page just kept loading and loading to no end. Is this some kind of bug ? It doesn't auto-update the page by itself.
Who's the cockbite who just posts "go get opera lol" at everyone no matter the problem?

Well it never was a problem when you faggots kept posting 'get firefox lol' whenever anyone had an ie problem back when firefox was the big fad. Hows your own medicine taste?

/r/ feature :
A thread watcher in the 4chan menu would be nice. Just below the "links" submenu or something.

Thats the reply page loading in a hidden iframe. I'm not sure there is any way I can get rid of the loading bar, but its not trying to load anything in the main window, so you can just ignore it I guess.
>>174
Thats something I wanted to add in the current version, but just never got arround to it. hopefuly I will.

When I click the plus sign to expand the thread, nothing happens. It doesn't even show the little loading icon. It's probably a conflicting extension
Whatever happened to that guy that modded the extension to add more links?
>>178
I'm pretty sure someone here has the skills to deface those sites...

Currently left-click opens a board in the current tab and middle click in a new tab. This is exactly the opposite from the way I have everything else open in firefox. /r/ a way to change it.

You can change the version number for all I care. I just want a new update.

After a thread reaches a certain length, I get an error that says "Unresponsive Script
[Stop Script] [Continue]"
I removed the extension because waiting for Firefox to become respnsive again, then clicking "stop script," when the error came up was becoming a hassle.

oh yeah, I meant to say that once a thread reaches a certain length, I get that error every time I try to load that page.

I hardly spend any time in windows nowadays, so it's not really something I've tried to fix. I'll look into it if I get the chance.
>>182
Yeah :\ It's not really a problem for me, since I seldom browse /b/, but I know it can be slow on threads with thousands of replys. I'll see if I can speed it up, or perhaps an option to disable quick reply etc. in threads over X posts.
because thinking of a new version of this extension makes me hard

Would you mind posting the source on how to make the menu?
I am prepared to get flamed, but maybe you'll consider it. I want to learn xml and xul, but it's hard to make anything out in the current extension with so many functions and files

the 4chan exension builds the menu (at application start time) in 4chanMenuConstruction.js using document.createElement() etc. It's pretty much the same as: http://xulplanet.com/tutorials/xultu/menubar.html but I just have more control over how it's built. to get it to show in the main menu bar you just use an overlay, mine is 4chanOverlay.xul You also have to add something to content.rdf . I think thats all you need.
Every once in a while my 4chan extension dies in mid-Firefox usage. Just out of the blue, it cuts out. I still have an entry in my menubar and right-click menu, but they're both empty menues when I try to open them.
This also seems to happen when I actually want to get to 4chan quickly. =\

Sounds like my hosting dieing, where the board data is located. I should have the cacheing fixed for the next version :(

Clicking on a 4chan directory opens to the threads, but half of the left side of the browser is empty each time.
What to do?

Oekaki board always appears in the menu, even if you set it to be disabled in the options. If you reopen the options after setting it to be hidden, it will be un-hidden. This is experienced with the most recent versions of firefox and the extension on both OSX and Linux.

Memory leak of xboxesque proportions?
Can anybody reproduce this?
1. Disable all extensions except the 4chan one
2. Disable all features in the 4chan extension
3. Open 6 different 4chan boards in tabs
4. Open task manager and watch the Firefox process
5. Click "reload all tabs" a few times
6. Note that Firefox allocates memory as usual
7. Check "enable post expansion" under General/Misc in the 4chan extension
8. Click "reload all tabs" again a few times
9. Not that Firefox will allocate several megabytes with each reload and won't free them
10. ???
11. :(
If I keep using Firefox with the 4chan extension enabled, it will grow to several 100 MB, become unbelievably slow and eventually crash. (Yeah Firefox will leak anyway, but the 4chan extension seems to accelerate it quite a bit).

Basically, all functions that involve modifying the 4chan HTML pages seem to make it leak like hell.
Too bad, I love this thing but this makes it completely unusable. :(

Does the 4chan extension use any data structures with circular references? This could be confusing the JavaScript garbage collector.
>>194
I tried that (in linux) and it did keep allocating memory (which firefox does anyway for cacheing). Enabling post expansion didn't make a difference to me. I've never noticed it slow down the longer the application is running, or crash really; not since some beta.
I also tried it with the extension disabled. It still "leaked", though less (perhaps it saves the current sate of the page, with all of the buttons and crap?).
>>195
when a 4chan imageboard page is loaded it gets passed through a "parser" that changes some of the html structure to make it easier to implement the features, so some page modification is always happening (and the changes for post expansion are rather minor).
I'm not sure what I can really do about any memory leaks, I have no way of finding them. Best I can do is just look for things that arn't needed and remove them, and look for anything that might confuse the garbage collector.

It's different from the normal behavior here. I can get it up to over a hundred megabytes with a few dozen reload alls (Firefox's memory cache is limited here anyway). And it only seems to happen once I enable a feature that changes html code. When I just have the menu with the board list enabled, the leaking is industinguishable from Firefox's usual faggotry.
Do you have a Windows machine available you can try it on? (Or can somebody else reproduce it?)
Maybe the relevant part of the parser function is skipped or doesn't run all the way through when no feature that requires it is enabled?
