Great news for Firefox users, we could finally implement Firefox 3.x support into AM-DeadLink.
AM-DeadLink 4.1 will fully support FF3 dead link checking, downloading FavIcons is however not possible. When you select “Firefox 3.x” in the main toolbar, you’ll be asked to close Firefox 3.x, it’s not possible to scan your bookmarks while Firefox is running.
We have now uploaded a first beta, please provide feedback if you experience any kind of problems.
Hi,
I just installed AM-DL 4.1 beta 2, it did not correctly found my Firefox 3 profile. My profile is at a custom location. OS is Windows XP.
Here is my “C:\Documents and Settings\OuT\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profile.ini” :
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=Default User
IsRelative=0
Path=E:\Something\MyFirefoxProfile
Default=1
so my bookmark file is “E:\Something\MyFirefoxProfile\places.sqlite”
instead, AM-DL used “C:\Documents and Settings\OuT\.netbeans\6.8\var\cache\mozillaprofilev1\places.sqlite” (I use Netbeans with a plugin which embed a Gecko engine)
I think AM-DL currently guess profile location by doing some search inside the Windows user profile, like “match on first places.sqlite found”
It could be interesting and more robust to instead look for default profile location inside “Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profile.ini”
Regards
Thanks for this report, OuT.
I’ll try to improve that in the next version. For now, you have to select the correct “places.sqlite” location in the program configuration.
