Hello
We have a major situation here in my office. All FF3b2 users that have upgraded to Fireshot 0.31 have lost their FF install: using Java after FS O.3 install crashes the browser systematically, and what is even worse: uninstalling the extension does not solve anything. So FF has to be reinstalled from scratch (with 80 extensions, thanks a lot !) Using Java 6 version 3, XP SP2 Reproduced on every PC here in the same config. Please take actions, and fast ! Thank you |

If uninstalling the extension doesn't help, please refer to Mozilla.
I'm sorry, but I don't know the reason. __________________ FireShot Pro Pro Full Webpage Screenshots will be moving to a subscription model soon!

But can you reproduced the first issue on your end (the fact that Java crashes after FS 0.31 installation ) ? If this is the case, you should remove the compatibility with FF3 until the incompatibility is solved.
For the second issue, I'm wondering what traces are left by the extension after removing it Note: since my first post, another colleague has met the same problem (he had not listened to me ) Thanks |

Hi again
One more remark. I haven't tested it myself, but one of my fellow colleagues told me that it also crashes Java in Firefox 2 on his PC. But again, I haven't tested. |

Ok, I've got a fix for this.
As I expected, the problem was in Firefox - it cannot handle too long user-agent strings So, what you need to fix this issue before next release will be published: - open FireShot's preferences and uncheck "Add information about FiresShot into user-agent string" - restart FX __________________ FireShot Pro Pro Full Webpage Screenshots will be moving to a subscription model soon!

JK,
I have not had any issues with crashes but did notice a fairly major issue. Occurs in FF 2.0.0.11 and 3.0b2 JAVA ver 1.6.0_1. The issue I encountered was that some flash elements (the ones that I had noticed that used to be captured by fireshot) now have a dark orange background wherever there is transparency in the image. Here is a good example Click here. I listed this page as an example because there are two flash elements on the page and one is effected and the other is not. Both have transparent backgrounds. Also I noticed that uninstalling does not help. As a matter of fact, after you uninstall the add-on, restart FF, then open the about box, it still shows Fireshot 0.31 in the box... even though it is no longer in the Extensions list. Hope that helps - I really like Fireshot and can't use it at the moment. jOE. |

JK,
That did the trick. I think our postings must have crossed. Thanks for the quick response! jOE |

JK, will you consider issuing a new version without the incriminated setting ? Or at least turned off by default ?
Thanks |
