=== Status Button === | |||
This is a replacement for the existing toolbar button. It is designed | |||
to allow users to see more than one provider at a time. You could have | |||
Mixi and Twitter both installed, and see a button for both, as well as | |||
receiving notifications from both. The new button is limited to one | |||
icon and one panel attached to the icon. The new button is defined by | |||
an entry in the manifest called "statusURL". | |||
The existing toolbar button will continue to work as long as you do not | |||
specify "statusURL" in your manifest, however we will deprecate the | |||
existing button at some time in the future. If you define "statusURL" | |||
the existing button will also continue to work until the new features | |||
are turned on, then users will be switched to the new button. | |||
=== Social Bookmarks === | |||
The existing SocialMarks functionality is being replaced by a new Social | |||
Bookmark button. As with the Status Button, this allows for more than | |||
one provider to have a Social Bookmark button in the toolbar. You are | |||
not currently using this feature so it does not affect you. If you are | |||
interested in this, I can get you details, but I will be writing the | |||
documentation on MDN for it next week. | |||
=== Notifications === | |||
As I mentioned above with the Status Button, users will be able to | |||
receive notifications from more than one provider at a time. This | |||
change also means that your worker script will always be running in | |||
Firefox, you will no longer need to be the "selected" provider. | |||
