Growl Extension v1.0.1 Released!

That’s right, I finally got around to releasing the latest version of the Growl Extension for Firefox 2.0 and Thunderbird 2.0. This one has some nice fixes in it:

  • Cleaned up a memory leak when registering notifications
  • Enabled Notification support for Chatzilla
  • Enabled click-back support for Chatzilla notifications (focuses Chatzilla window)
  • Enabled click-back support for download notifications (opens/focuses the Download Manager)
  • Enabled click-back support for new mail notifications (opens/focuses Thunderbird)

My testing has shown this to be a rock solid release, and I’m quite proud of it. I have a few more things planned for it, so there still should be a few more releases, but otherwise, there isn’t much more to be done.

You can grab the extension on addons.mozilla.org.

    Good work on the add-on, I just switched from entourage and I use growl alot. One question I have though is how to keep notifications for junk mail from appearing. Is there a pref I can tweak?

    TIA

    That’s something that I still need to look into. To be honest, I am not sure how to check for that, but I will do my best to look into it this weekend!

    This addon is nice; is there any chance that you can intercept all of the “alert()” calls on all pages, and turn them into Growl messages instead?

    Possible, but difficult. Also, I don’t think many people would appreciate that. But, I’ll take a look at it and see what I can do.
