Firefox bug: duplicate form history entries

Some users have reported that Firefox regularly creates duplicate form history entries.

This is actually a bug in Firefox 23 which will be fixed in the upcoming version.

More info at the Support Forum, technical details at: Bugzilla@Mozilla.

Release 1.3.1.0

• Fix for changes in FF 22: `nsITreeView` interface was changed to remove all `nsISupportsArray` usage (see bugzilla).

Release 1.3.0.6

• Support for per-window private browsing introduced in FF 20
• Use mouseenter/mouseleave events instead of mousemove/mouseout to prevent performance issues (Show fieldnames)
• Fix getGeckoVersion method to deal with double digit gecko version (Options About window)

Release 1.3.0.5

• Refactored deprecated E4X object in javascript in order to be compatible with FF 19.* (used for pretty-printing xml, now achieved by string manipulation)
• Added comment before closing cdata-tag (// ]]>) in xul files (between script tags) to prevent compilation error by Mozillas add-on validator

Release 1.3.0.3

A new release with some minor updates.

• Added pt-BR translation.
• Fix: occasional TypeError: can't access dead object
• Resolved some minor warnings showing up in the console logging.

Release 1.3.0.2

BugFix: Backup wysiwyg editor fields for additional types like Gmail.

Release 1.3.0.1

At last a new release. Many improvements in this release. Also had to get rid of a few deprecated methods including some regarding multithreading which were not easy to deal with.

Here is a list of the many new improvements:

• New feature: Backup multiline/WYSIWYG (editor)fields while typing (before submit)
• New feature: Restore multiline/WYSIWYG fields
• New feature: Customize save formhistory: only save form history for listed sites (either blacklist or whitelist)
• New feature: Export/Import manager (choose what to export/import)
• Extra option: show/hide Formhistory Control in FF app menu (default is show)
• Extra option: export/import dates in ISO format (default is ISO)
• Extra button to hide cleanup options (cleanup tab)
• Improved regular expression for Creditcards (to use Restore RegExp)
• Improved performance
• Improved browsehistory view
• Fix: skip duplicate entries from imported xml-file
• Fix: unresponsive script error on slow computers and/or large history databases (using background timer threads)
• Available locales for this version: en cs da de es fr nl tr

And the more technical changes include:

• Getting rid of all threads (processNextEvent)
• Places lookup query is processed in the background (using a timer-thread) if it takes more than 250ms
• Places lookup optimization, only query for dates present in the history table (> earliestVisit date)
• Refactored DOMParser.parseFromStream (deprecated) to parseFromString
• Get rid of the new AddonManager (async methods are unusable, threads forbidden), always use the install.rdf file to obtain add-on information.
• Minor bugfix: formhistory controls toolbarmenu or statusbarmenu can be null (fixes: "Error: tbMenu is null")
• Converted BrowseHistory from HTML-XUL mix (iframe+places.html) to pure XUL
