Firefox 1.0 Feature Work

In

Extensions

XPCOM, File Layout

Profile Components - darin, bsmedberg

Need to be able to register components (bug 241155) that live in various locations in profile, and deregister. Also encompasses restartable XPCOM, profile system. (bug 239929)

Need a way to restart the app if incompatibilities were detected (bug 241712)

XPInstall

XPCOM interface to XPInstall - ben

Installation of Extensions in Firefox using extension.rdf - ben

XPInstall needs to pass Extension Manager a stream to contained rdf file that it can use to install from. ben

Uninstallation - ben

API to XPInstall- ben

Needed for XPCOM components and services to be able to invoke certain XPInstall functionality

Bulletproof install/uninstall

Command Line Global Install - ben

Remove Global install as an install option - extension.rdf types default to profile, command line option (-install-global foo.xpi) for sysadmins.

Content types for extensions and themes for different applications - ben, mscott

Allows install into other apps from the browser, e.g. application/x-xpinstall;app=thunderbird - app needs to register as a handler for that content type and then uses a command line handler to invoke itself and run the profile-install. Need to check across various browsers to ensure helper app dispatch based on this type of content type mapping is performed.

Fixed, Needs Checking In:

• XPInstall XPCOM API
• XPInstall extension.rdf handling

Extension Manager

Startup Checking - ben

Checking for Enable/Disable/Install/Uninstall cases and performing appropriate operations.

Version Mismatch Checking - ben

Startup code to verify version is correct in EM

Remove Extension and Theme Manager from Preferences

Outstanding Issues:

Hook up Update Wizard to install/update functions exposed by new XPInstall API

All the XCurProcDir locations - make Global extensions work

Disable/Enable

Safe Mode

THEMES and LOCALEs...

Need to get Theme Manager set up, go on a merry spree through nsExtensionManager whacking numerous assumptions made that items are extensions.

Locking

Preventing themes and extensions from being uninstalled or disabled. Add cmd line option to lock an extension.

Recovery Mode

If no ~/profile/Extensions or no bin/Extensions, remove ~/profile/chrome/chrome.rdf and ~/profile/chrome/overlayinfo to force a regeneration from installed-chrome.txt

Un-break Update UI, make Mismatch work for Themes

Broken by theme horkage

Theme switching

Cmd Line Theme Installation

MIME Handling/Install on Windows

Installed-chrome.txt analog

For DELAYED_CHROME style entity in install scripts for app installers - we need some way to have the default theme register itself in the list, same with any extensions we or partners decide to bundle

Better UI Feedback for Install/Uninstall

Add Fetal Extension entries to list for UI feedback, show special feedback for death's door extensions rather than remove from list.

Disable Old Extensions

Hook download up to EM

Disconnect from download manager

Clean up error notifications in update wizard

Global Command Line Flags from ctor, not after profile

Client-Web Interaction

Fix Manual Update Checking - ben

SmartUpdate

Full Client Update - ben

Grammar for indicating update severity

Extension Update - ben

Common scheme used by version mismatch checking

Unified Notification Scheme - ben

Status bar type notification showing updates available

Outstanding Issues:

Automatic Severity Synthesis - perhaps show the wizard UI when a new version is available as this is a pretty major event.

Common Version Checking shared between extension and app update based on major.minor.sub.[+]

Verify timeout based background checking works.
