As of today Mozilla is going to drop support for binary components in extensions.

The news is here.

As far as I know FlashGot creates a binary file as written here:

JavaScript/XUL with a single C++ file (FlashGot.cpp), which is the source of FlashGot.exe

I guess the file is being created in Windows (I dunno how it's implemented in Linux).

Giorgio, what do you think of all this? What is the future of FlashGot? I think it's not only mine best downloader ever


Thank you,
Keep up your good work!

I don't know, but I don't think FlashGot is going to be affected?
Figure if it were to be, it would have had to be updated along with each new release, & that has never been the case.

But yes it sucks that they woke up the other morning & said, it's gone.

Seems as if Lightning is going to be the biggest loser in this deal.
