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!
