The feed publication interface has been fixed
A few people have complained about the feed publication interface not working (it may have been the same person that complained a few times ), so I decided to have a look at it today. Yes, the page that generates HTML wasn’t working, mainly because stupid (Moi!) still had old ASP type tags stuck...

At long last nsIScriptableUnescapeHTML.parseFragment() has been fixed!
On 17 November 2009 I blogged about vulnerabilities with nsIScriptableUnescapeHTML.parseFragment() here – So much for nsIScriptableUnescapeHTML.parseFragment(). At the time, nsIScriptableUnescapeHTML.parseFragment() was being recommended by Wladimir Palant, Jorge Villalobos, and others, as the only way to display web content, within the trusted chrome context, while eliminating all potential security issues. Yeah right! Not only were...

Wizz RSS 4.0 beta maxVersion bumped to 4.0b5
For those of you who are using beta versions of Firefox 4, I have just put a version of Wizz RSS online that will install on 4.0b5.

Wizz RSS 4.0 beta maxVersion bumped to 4.0b3
I have just updated the Wizz RSS 4.0 code so that it’ll install on Firefox 4.0b3. Apart from bumping maxVersion to 4.0b3, nothing else has changed. The vertical scroll bar bug in the item pane (XUL listbox widget) persists. I guess a bug fix wasn’t landed in time for the release of 4.0b3. Oh...
