Well I just did the update and the toolbar crashed Firefox, then when I restarted firefox it took away the address in my address bar. Scott

@Limit-Studios: About the search feature, you can use Neowin search function :) The only thing the user needs is to be logged/or have the Remember Me box ticked (cookies enabled)

The url to perform the search is

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?forums=all&act=Search&CODE=01&keywords=%s

%s is the string to search for...

[nerokill]

[phedot]

Not compatible with 1.5 beta 1 OH NO! WHAT SHALL I DO :| can u make it compatible ? :D ? please :D ?

[Limit-Studios]

thanxs for the search added it into the build i'm working on now. With the option to search with Neowins built-in search or google.

DarkCode there was a problem with the fix i posted as kd5orw said it didn't work and made his address bar always blank. I've looked and tested it on 1.5 Beta 1 and it works fine for me.

Can you test this: This is a test version for 1.5 Beta 1 only. Download if you are OK if something goes wrong. You may have to copy the link to your address bar.

If this version is OK and works i'll add it to the first page. However in the next version i will be working using the new 1.5 extension documentation.

LS yours worked fine for me

[Limit-Studios]

k so the address bar still works and shows fine in 1.5 Beta 1?

It shows fine but isnt working.. I put in text and click enter but nothing happens

[Limit-Studios]

can you uninstall the neowin toolbar extension and try the toolbar again. I'm trying to work out what is causing it.

I'm planning a re-write for 1.5 anyway but i'm hoping this one will be a quick fix.

iv just tryd it on firefox 1.5 beta 1 n its works fine and the firefox address bar works fine....i take it the search isnt surposed to work?.......

[Limit-Studios]

yep thats right search doesn't work yet but it does on the one i am working on.

can you confirm again that the address bar works, as soon as i get confirmation i'll add it to the first page.

[speed3okie]

maybe it was just my computer messing up, cause I installed it again and it did it again. But then I switched from TAB to Tab, and it brought the url name back.....Scott

[Limit-Studios]

hi kd5orw can you PM me a list of your installed extensions on Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 to see if its another extension causing a conflict.

[speed3okie]

you should have it......Scott

[Limit-Studios]

thanxs i'll try installing some to see if any of them are causing the problem

[SoulDevil]

yup works fine iv tryed:

1) Typin an url

2) Using my quick links

3) Dragging a link into the bar

4) Using the buttons on the neowin toolbar

all work fine here....

I have no extensions installed except the firefox reporter thing....

k thanxs SoulDevil. I'm beginning to think it's an extension conflict somewhere.

i'll add it to the first page now.

[Limit-Studios]

added to front page with download links.

Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Compatibility added. :)

[Limit-Studios]

Screenshot below shows the new compatibility with 1.5 BETA 1. I've redone the extension layout to the new 1.5 standards and at the moment its running good with none of the bugs with the address bar happening. I have also started to make it localized; the locale in the screenshot is es-ES provided by gigtec.

The build i'm using is the latest nightly.

[speed3okie]

Great can't wait to download it......Scott

[Limit-Studios]

Another update, search has now been added and is working fine in the build i am using on Firefox 1.5 Beta 1.

You can search both Neowin with its forum search or with google.

Google Search

Showing Search types

You can also search Neowin without using the menu by just clicking the Search button next to the search box.

There is still a few bugs with multiple entries getting added to the search history but i'm hoping to get that fixed asap so i can release the next version for testing.

Looking Good

Do you have to be logged in for the Neowin search to work?
