For me, AideRSS is fubar. Not ready for Firefox 3.
Well, after a bunch of changes, 2 or 3 invites, extension and greasemonkey script installations, re-installations, I have given up. No I will not use Firefox 2, no I don't want anymore invites. I am using Firefox 3 now.
Never have I seen a more complicated software installation process.
After receiving another invite via e-mail I did a fresh install of the extension. It did not work. Then I tried to install the greasemonkey script and my browser froze. When I restarted and navigated to Google Reader all I got was the orange drop-down menu. It does nothing. I chose individual feeds and all that. Nothing.
To be honest, this takes an extraordinary amount of patience even to try to tolerate this bugginess. This should have been labeled as Pre-Alpha, use at your own risk, not ready for primetime.
I tried, very hard to get this to work and it consumed a lot of my time. I would recommend you just prominently warn Firefox 3 users that an installation this product is not to be attempted.
I will check back soon to see if any progress has been made. AideRSS looks like a very nice usefull tool. I just don't have the patience or time to fiddle with this anymore.
Good luck and look forward to using this soon. Thanks.

Inappropriate?Rolf, appreciate the feedback, and apologies for the poor user experience.
FF3 version of our extension is definitely an alpha. GreaseMonkey hasn't been fully ported to FF3 yet, hence the problems you've been experiencing. There are no set timelines, but by the sounds of it, the port should be complete within the next month or two.
In the meantime, we'll add some additional information about FF3 on our microsite. Let us know if you have any other suggestions. -
Inappropriate?Hi Rolf,
I just downloaded the Beta 1.4 of the extension for Firefox 3 and it installed without problem. To do this I simply unzipped the file after I'd downloaded it and dragged it onto Firefox. It installed and worked perfectly after I quit and then restarted Firefox 3. -
Inappropriate?Our newer version of the Google Reader extension that's Firefox 3-compatible has been updated on the site: http://gr.aiderss.com/
For those who have an older version installed, you don't need to uninstall it before installing the new version.
For those who received the FF3-compatible extension via zip file, you just need to extract the files, open the folder they're in, and drag and drop the appropriate file (depending on whether or not you have Greasemonkey installed). Firefox will launch the installation process automatically.
I’m satisfied
