You know what would make this totally killer? Some way to grab the username + password that bugmenot returns and populate the fields on the form.

Rod, that does sound like a good idea, but it could be potentially very difficult to do. The usernames and passwords are stored in a protected database, and they're called from a PHP script. I'll tinker around a little and see what I can come up with, but I'm not too sure if I can do it.

scott, do you have javascript enabled? Also, downloads.mozdev.org pulls the files from mirrors, so perhaps there was some type of error from a particular server. Try hitting "install" again and it will bounce to another mirror. Also, which build of Firefox are you using?

If the install still fails to work, you can try downloading the extension from my extensions home page:

For everyone having trouble with it, I am 99% sure you are trying Firefox 0.9 for the first time, and have not deleted you old profile directory. The new extension manager for Firefox 0.9 uses a different directory structure as compared to 0.8, so you must delete it and strart over for any extension to successfully work.

You must turn on "view hidden files" in windows explorer (tools -> folder options -> view -> hidden files and folders) and then navigate to

C:\docs&settings\username\application data\Firefox\default.xxx\

and then copy that bookmark file somewhere else safe. Now delete the Firefox directory underneath \Application Data\ and then delete the Firefox folder underneath C:\Program Files\.

Now install Firefox, and everything should work fine. Make sure to copy your bookmarks folder back to the new profile directory, which will be

C:\docs&settings\username\application data\mozilla\Firefox\default.xxx\

It is pretty trivial to make a bookmarklet that links your current page to the bugmenot database. Here is one:

javascript : void(window.open("

Then it's just a matter of adding this to the right-click menu, which I have no idea how to do. (Which is why I wanted to see the source. ;-) )

This has nothing to do with breaking themes, so I don't know what to tell you about that.

You should have no problem checking out the source via CVS, I haven't done anything funky to disable it.

If you just want a bookmarklet, then bugmenot.com has one on its site, which this extension is loosely based on.

What's the differance between your "Extension" and simply visiting www.bugmenot.com ??? Am I missing something, or is it's sole function simply to save me the trouble of pasting a URL into the form on BugMeNot.com ???

Don't get me wrong. BugMeNot.com is a WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, resource. But the extension is quite underwhelming. (unless I'm missing something)

I don't want to just complain. Here's my suggestion for an extension that does something other than being a simple paste macro:

Integrate with the sage extension. Then saved logon forms could be sent to users. If you could dynamically invoke sage, the user could have true, instant "just click on the friggin url to get the news" functionality.

Jaromba- why on earth would you need a password to access google groups? This is for "you must register to see the news" sites, not for google, or amazon, or citibank, or whatever.

Annoying User: It's precisely to avoid going to bugmenot.com, pasting, and going back to the original article. It's essentially the bookmarklet in a context menu. I never said it was ground-breaking, but it's convenient. I originally just made it for myself, and then thought perhaps other people would like it as well.

Anything other than what it does now will probably not exist, at least from my hands. The bugmenot repository is an encrypted database, so I couldn't simply link a user/pass set to a url. Plus, not all combos work, hence the "This Login Didn't Work" button.

Absolutely fantastic extension.

I saw your reply to one of the very first posts, about automatically populating the username/passwords fields with the info retrieved from bugmenot.com, but perhaps it shouldn't have to be so involved as tying into the incrypted database, but simply load the popup with the info (like it does now), then copy the username/password into clipboard and repaste them into the appopriate fields on the login page? It would be like a macro or something...

Isn't it funny how you give people a great time saver like this and they just want more and more time saved? I mean really... :) Lazy bums... And I thought I was the only one...

Thanks again for a great extension!

short but sweet,enjoy the extention. Let me add my vote for being lazy. Being able to auto populate would be nice you raised 2 issues with it auto filling:

1) sites can prevent
My first thought ws being able to right-click in the feild,choose bug-me-not. The text would get grabbed,first line pasted wher ethe right click happened and then "tab" over to the next item on the page and then enter there.

2) bad login info
maintain the current method,which allows the window to popup. True,it means more effor for people that dont know what they are doing,they will get confused when the passwd doesnt work the short way butI don't care about them... :).....

a second option would be to popup your own page which maintains the same options you already get back and add an "auto populate" button on the response page. If it doesnt work,no harm to foul,epople just have to copy and paste like the old way.

I have no idea what coding is involved since i have never spent the time to learn the api for moz(xul??). These are just thought and again allow me to say thank you for you handy shortcut!

bugmenot is great but what about having a more "mozillaished" UI ? I mean having a XUL UI, instead of the HTML page will juste be better looking ;-)

Another point is that having an "autofill" feature is welcomed. The way will be to find in the source page a form where two field exist with preferable name "login, id, log, l" and "password, pass, p" and using the DOM to fill the selected ID in them. Will be quite nice :)

jabdip, sorry, no .exe or .msi versions exist. Not sure how I'd make them, either, but you're more than welcome to try.

For everyone who asks about the autofill feature: the problem is the repository is encrypted, and every web site is different, as in what the field names are called. Also, the first user/pass combo doesn't always work, so you have to have multiple entries to ensure a successful login.

Just installed Firefox 0.9. Installed bugmenot and uninstalled several times. Does not show up as option in context menu (view). Any suggestions?

Ideas on populating fields. Well it seems a bunch of other people had the same idea that I did and while I realize that there might be some problems this doesn't seem like a reason not to do it. Sure sites might try to block but this sort of reasoning would have averted this entire project. While you are right this might confuse some users if people block only this method you could use a seperate database for a beta version of the autofill feature so normal users never even deal with this and the confusion could be evaluated. Also I don't think sites *could* circumvent this without also breaking the form information browsers store and driving away readers.

I think the best bet would be to give bugmenot a general ability to fill in web page forms. Click a context menu button and it would fill every form option on the page by reading from database. The natural idea that springs to mind is somehow using the form interface in mozilla (or whatever) though I believe the response above was saying this was difficult as it is some encrypted database. However, I think there is an easy workaround.

In this new setup when you select add login from context menu it would send the entire HTML page (no images or anything) and form selections (in whatever the native browser format happens to be) in to the server. The server saves this info and when a request is made for that login page it sends exactly this info to the client. Since we have a web page and form entries *already* in the internal browser format all we need to do is call whatever browser function learns form entries and saves them in the db on this page from bugmenot and then call the function to populate the form in the window from the database. It has the potential advantage of not being able to share databases between browsers but if the user base is large enough this shouldn't be much of an issue and it has the *definitive* advantage that it can't be circumvented without circumventing the browsers form storage itself (after the browser recieves and processes the page from bugmenot it is in *exactly* the same state as a browser who had entered these values and then remembered them).

If this is doesn't work for some reason another good way to do this is the following. In the online database save both the logins/passwords but also what form entry they should be entered in. The browser extension could add sites by having the user right click on every filled in field and selecting add to bugmenot. When this is done the browser extension would send a session id (so we know what goes with what) the webpage and form being filled out and the entry. To login to a site we would simply call up this data from bugmenot, search for the form fields and fill them in appropriatly. This too would let people use this on sites more complicated than a simple login/password.

In both cases I don't see the issue with multiple logins. Just as now you could have an option 'login broken' which would fetch an entierly new set of data. I realize that either of these projects is somewhat ambitious as it requires some special server code (although for a cheap hack we could have the data just uploaded as one file and all the server does is figure out which webpage you are looking at and send back a data bundle for this webpage) and certainly something more complex on the plugin end. But it would make bugmenot much more usefull and address wider purposes. For instance a company might run their own version of a bugmenot server to give employees access to paid databases easily.

I would be quite happy to help such a project. I'm not familiar with plugin coding or the mozilla API so if someone could point me in the right direction so I can figure out it this is plausible I would appreciate this (i.e. a link the the appropriate part of the mozilla API). Also I can be contacted at logicnazi@gmail.com Are their development mailing lists or forums somewhere?

In response to the person who doesn't see the option in the contextmenu make sure you quit your browser and exit quick launch then start again. Right click on the page and (at least on mozilla prob similar on firefox) it is right under stop (5th option down).

I can't get it to install on a new install of Firefox 0.9.3 or an upgraded install of Mozilla 1.7.2 that has never had this extension installed before. It won't install at all in FF, and will install but won't run in Mozilla. Tried all the suggestions listed above that I can see to no avail. I sure would like to use this! I've used previous versions on other computers in previous versions of FF and really liked it. Hope you get some of the bugs worked out, or at least make it a little easier to figure out how to make functional.

Zippy, sounds like your installation of Firefox is corrupted, or maybe your profile directory is. I don't know what to tell you about the extension not working, I've tested the hell out of it recently in new and old installs of Firefox 0.8, 0.9, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, Netscape, Mozilla suite, and they all work perfectly.

Anyway, auto-pop works fine for me in XP, but it doesn't in OSX (which is probably because of the difference in the clipboards?). Anyway, minor annoyance. Love the extension.

The "tabbrowser extension" at: white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_tabextensions.html.en
breaks the BugMeNot extension if you set the tabbrowser extension to operate in "single window mode".

There's a pretty easy workaround: Don't use single window mode.

BugMeNot 0.5 installed fine on Firefox 0.9.1+ for OS X, but none of the actions indicated by the preferences work: Automatically fill login forms, Close BugMeNot window on first try (not even sure what this is suppose to do), and Automatically submit form.

The BugMeNot contextual menu item appears on input fields, and works fine (brings up popup with login information), but the cool features of autofill and autosubmit are busted.

Any plans to fully support OS X in the near future?

I downloaded and installed 0.5 for firefox 0.8. When I go to a password site and right-click on a form field, I see BugMeNot in the menu, and when I select it, it pops up a window containing a username and password. However, it does not automatically fill in the fields. When I go to the extensions options screen and select BugMeNot 0.5, the "Options..." button is greyed out, so I cannot edit the preferences.

I've been out of town so I haven't updated it here yet. Grab a 1.0PR compatible here:

extensions.raochfiend.com

For future refernece, my home page will always have the most updated versions first.

And also, I've said it a few times before, but no one seems to listen:

I do not support, build, operate, or attempt any inter-compatibility between operating systems. I build for windows because I'm selfish like that. If you run linux or os X and it works, I consider that a happy coincidence. If it doesn't work, then there's really nothing I can do about it.

Firefox 1.0PR keeps declaring that it cannot install BugMeNot 0.3 when installing BugMeNot 0.6 ...

i just did exactly that, and it installed just fine for me.

Well, that is a very nice extension. Many sites in my country, however, asks for email (to identify the user) and the password. So Bugmenot does not work in this case, since these sites will look for their database. I just suppose that this is not what Bugmenot is for, right? And I am talking about reading news. Example:
(where you see on the left an image and the title is "gente").

Is the source code for this extension licensed? I am interested in creating a new extension.

Thanks,

I'm using Mozilla 1.7.3 and getting a download error upon trying to dl the extension. My browser's xpi configs seem to be set correctly. I've tried saving the extension to the desktop and installing from there, and that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

Ok, managed to install it, but it appears not to work on Mo 1.7.3. Worse, it caused the Bugmenot browser window to close when I tried to get a log/pw manually from the site. Very strange. It worked great on earlier Mo builds and I'll miss it. The nice part is that I found a handy-dandy extension uninstaller at the below site. Works beautifully.

I Love BugMeNot, it's the best thing since sliced toast!!! it works great with FireFox PR 1.0

I am trying to find it for the final 1.0 release and it has disappeared from the Extensions site altogether... Boo Hoo, that makes me very sad... please bring back this wonderful program so that all of my friends can install it.

Thanks,

As reported here:

bugmenot has stopped working with firefox 1.0.1.
I can't deal with trying to read news sites without it.
I hope it gets fixed soon!
Thanks!
