https-finder - issue #75

Doesn't seem to work with Firefox 22


Posted on Jun 30, 2013 by Quick Bear

What steps will reproduce the problem? For example 1. I go to dy.fi, which is a Finnish Dynamic DNS service. I'm sure HTTPS Finder has been able to detect SSL connection before on that site. 2. HTTPS Finder doesn't seem to look for SSL connection 3. It stays on HTTP site, not showing any info about HTTPS connection being found.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Firefox 22, Windows 8 x64 HTTPS Finder 0.87

Could it be that something has broken in the last two versions?

Just want to confirm that I'm also having issues with this. Tested by downgrading to FF 20 and it does indeed give a prompt to switch to https and another prompt for saving the rule to HTTPS Everywhere.

Opening Firefox 22 or Aurora results in the page not giving a prompt at all. With automatically switch to https enabled the site will also not automatically switch. Seems completely broken unless you downgrade to Firefox 20.

Getting that out of the way after toying with it in Firefox 20 I must say that this add-on is a wonder. I can only hope for Firefox 22+ support.

Thanks for the reports - I know the issue with Fx22+ and will be working on a fix over the next few days.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Supporting_per-window_private_browsing - The old method was removed in version 22

I will take a look at it again this weekend..

The constant breaking has never been this bad, but I started HTTPS Finder on Firefox 3.5. So maybe they're now getting around to removing a lot of the api functionality that was deprecated after I began.
