June 10th, 2009 at 7:42 am
I got the same problem as response 4 (Ash) with the error “Update caused a javascript exception error in the ‘chrome’. ” and like response 2 it seemed a one-off
Perhaps an error in closing the installation script.
Firefox 3.0.6 operating in Windows XP SP2

Same here. Buggy update.
June 10th, 2009 at 10:16 am

Great work from my favourite blogging tool!
Just one quibble just now- we need a button to dismiss the settings pane.
Thanks again.
June 11th, 2009 at 6:18 am
The Cancel button on the login dialog box still doesn’t work.
June 11th, 2009 at 6:18 am
Got the same error message on Firefox but I did just get a java script update so maybe this will fix?
June 11th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Same Error like comment 19 (and probably all the others) here. Using FF3 on latest Ubuntu.
June 11th, 2009 at 7:41 am

“Update caused a javascript exception error in the ‘chrome’….etc ”

Got the same error.
June 11th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
What’s new is that I was greeted with a “component failure” error upon updating…
I like the extension, though! Keep the (otherwise) good work!
June 11th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I received the Javascript error upon install also.
June 11th, 2009 at 1:48 pm

June 11th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Got the error on launch but otherwise seems clean so far.
June 11th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Firefox 3.0.10 – got one off javascript error about Chrome, but blog editing is working perfectly. Thanks
June 11th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Got the same js error as the others.
June 11th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Caused an error for me too. I couldn’t read it because it was partially outside the desktop window, but it looked like a javascript error, and now I only have one menu item ‘Firefox’ (this is on a Mac), instead of the usual half dozen or so.
June 12th, 2009 at 2:32 am
Two litte issues:
- Info now gets this blog and the old info (with my name in es_ES locale) has disappeared
- The annoying 5 secs frozen effect when you open SFF or change between blopgs continues in windows.
June 12th, 2009 at 4:32 am
Rightclick / ScribeFire / File Upload borked: “Please enter your FTP settings!” even though the settings are there.

Wow this sounds great. I have just installed it, actually I tried to use Internet Explorer 8’s accelarator and that is also nice. But I am also using fire fox many times. so somehting similar is appreciated.

Help !! How in the world do I close ScribeFire?
There is NO button, or X or anything !!
I have tried Escape and many other buttons on my keyboard but no luck.
I hadn’t noticed before because I usually open it in a Tab, and then when i am done I close the Tab.. but tonight I actually wanted to see if ScribeFire was indeed saving my notes since the area where it should show is always blank/empty! So I opened it a split screen..it finally did show me that it is saving my notes. but now i am stuck with it open with no way to close it!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR
I am very tired of fighting with ScribeFire doing that Not Showing My Notes thing, but i still keep hoping it will live up to how good it sounds on paper..lol
Guess I’m just going to have to close my browser again…sheesh!
August 16th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Image upload will not work. Otherwise fantastically useful work. Thx!
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:15 am
It’s working on Mac OSX.
Nice job!
August 28th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Can no longer access my site “bad login/pass combination.” This is not the first time. Upgraded to 3.4.4. It was fun while it lasted. It’s too bad Scribefire cannot be more dependable. I have to know manually go back to my sites to publish. This is a real drag.
December 23rd, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Support for Vox blogs would be helpful
