EC2UI extension for Firefox 3

I’ve been doing some work with Amazon EC2 the last few days. An invaluable tool is the EC2UI firefox extension that Amazon have written. This provides you with a simple GUI inside the firefox chrome which makes it really easy to manipulate your EC2 instances.

A few weeks ago Hardy moved to using firefox 3. This meant, amongst other things, that the amazon plugin stopped working. The firefox guys have a webpage up that explains how to update extensions for Firefox 3.

The main problem was with changes to the password manager. You can find my changes on my bzr branch and a packaged up version of the extension EC2UI for Firefox 3.0b4.

Update: See comments below for new versions

Any chance this could be updated for beta 4?

Thanks,
Scott

Update for beta 5?

Perhaps setting the maxVersion to 3.0b* would be appropriate?

Also, the link to your bzr branch is broken.

Thanks

It's not working with b5, any chance of another update?

Please update for 3.0b5, which Hardy actually finally shipped with?

thanks

The necessary changes for Firefox 3.0 support have now been integrated upstream. You can install the latest version from the AWS website.

The upstream code is now also hosted at a sourceforge project you can find at Sourceforge.
