Todoist Addon for Firefox 3.6
by Drew Dahl on Feb.18, 2010, under Projects, Todoist Firefox Plugin
Well, the Todoist addon/plugin doesn’t work with the latest and greatest Firefox 3.6 =( I went on their support website, hoping that this was already taken care of, but it hadn’t been. In fact, the case was already 30 days old and no developers had come to the rescue. Seeing that saddened me, so I forced the Todoist plug-in to install and it worked fine; however, disabling compatibility checks is the last thing I want to leave enabled, so I set out to validate it with the Mozilla team today.
I did a validity check with their validation tool and it came back with two main errors. The first was the use of a deprecated method in its’ javascript and the other was some locale issue that was optional to fix. After fixing the javascript issue and verifying it, I was unable to submit it to the developer’s due to there being a lack of license in the code. After some tooling around, I realized that the Todoist developer’s never bothered to upload it to the Mozilla site anyway, so I tested it out again in 3.6 and it installed without any trouble with checking enabled.
That said, here is the link for you to download it:

This hasn’t been accepted by the Todoist developer’s, so I imagine they may not support it (even though the difference from theirs is only 4 different lines of code). So, if you see any problems with, it let me know. Hopefully they’ll either fix theirs or adopt mine sooner than later. Anyway, Enjoy!

I downloaded the file, but I have no idea what I can do with it to make Todoist run with my firefox (3.6.3). Can you help me with this? Thank you!

Well first off, thanks for checking out the site, Tina!
As for the plug-in, just double click or run the .xpi file. If you’re asked what application to open it with, select Firefox.
If this doesn’t help you, just let me know what happens when you try to run the .xpi file (the one you downloaded).

Hi, I’ve just updated to Firefox 3.6.11 and unfortunately your generous hack looks incompatible with this latest version. I wonder if there’s any hope of updating it again? Thanks so much.

Hi Khoi! I want to apologize for not responding to you sooner! I’m surprised that I haven’t run into the same issue as you with the latest version of Firefox, but I will look into this as soon as possible and get this fixed! I’ll create a new blog post about it when I do!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Thank you so much for working on this. I’ve been using your sidebar for a while, and it has always worked like a charm. However, it doesn’t seem to work with Firefox 4.0. Is there any chance you will be updating for the new version of FF? I sure hope so because I really miss my Todoist sidebar, but I lack the skills to take on a task like this myself.

I’ll definitely put this on my list to checkout. So long as Firefox 4.0′s plugin scheme is similar to that of 3.6, it should be no problem! I’ll be sure to blog about it once I get around to it.
