It matters so little to you, that you felt the need to bump a 6-month-old bug report thread to declare the current state of FlashGot, despite you not being officially involved with the project. Stepping in and speaking the words you think the addon's developer needs to say about XUL FlashGot, but could not muster the courage to write.
Seriously, neither of us knows what Giorgio is thinking beyond what he has written. Like the old saying goes, to assume otherwise just makes an ass of u and me.

And e10s now is enabled by default, in the stable channel for some users.Giorgio Maone wrote:In the meanwhile, if e10s gets enabled in the stable channel before WebExtensions are viable, show-stopping bugs like these will be fixed.
If the status of FlashGot has changed, Giorgio will be the one to say so. Not you, nor me, nor anyone else not directly affiliated with FlashGot.
This less complex than NoScript, is it? -avada wrote:Flashgot has 1/3 of the userbase of noscript, but is an order of a magnitude less complex.
I've sent Giorgio patches for NoScript before, and he has included them. As such, I not only have some sense of how complex the NoScript code is, I can write decent code at the level of NoScript. Yet, I haven't the slightest idea how a webserver implemented purely in JavaScript would work, and I made mistakes in suggested patches to FlashGot on more than one occasion.https://maone.net/ wrote:LeechGet integration case is quite an interesting exception: missing an AddURLList()-like COM API but having in turn a ParseURL() method which refuses to work with file:// local URLs, I achieved the "download all" effect by serving on the fly a HTML document containing the links to be downloaded through HTTP protocol. Yeah, that's right, FlashGot contains a working Web Server (minimalistic and supporting the GET verb only, of course, but functional and multithreading)! How many other multithreaded web servers entirely written in JavaScript do you know? A web server running inside a web browser, I guess I should claim a patent over it!
In addition, last I checked FlashGot contain OS-specific executables, whereas NoScript use only browser-based technologies, such as JavaScript/XUL/CSS etc.
So, which addon is really more complex?
In public. That says nothing about what Giorgio did or didn't do privately. We don't know what we don't know.avada wrote:But it got about 0% dev time in the past years.
How do you know this? Again, please re-read what Giorgio wrote above, in the context of the current situation with Firefox.avada wrote:Now that the XUL phaseout is near there's no chance for a fix to the addon as it is.
