Firefox 4 support?

Edit Subject

Michael and the rest of the Crossrider community,

We are pleased to announced our new Firefox 4 support ;-)

Right now all your existing and new extensions will be compatible with FF4 and all of our api will work seamless on FF4 as well (that's include cross-domain ajax, local db, facebook api, browser button, background/tab(s) messaging, etc.)

There is FF4 bug though which everyone should know about:
If your code has setTimeout and/or setInterval you can't use 'alert' function in your code (in case you haven't noticed, Firefox has changed the alert function in FF4).
When showing alert it will make the setInterval/setTimeout not working for some weird reason. This is NOT related to Crossrider platform and happen with "naked" xpi as well (we've reported this bug to the Mozilla team and hopefully they will fix it soon).

Tip: in matter of fact, we advice all developers not to use 'alert' in their code. As you don't use it for your web-site, it's strongly recommended not to use it at your extensions as well. If you wish to debug your app, it's strongly recommended to use appAPI.debug instead (+ you will get the benefit this will be shown only at development mode and will be ignored in production).

Enjoy your new FF4 support and please let us know if you have any problems with it. We are here for you!

The Crossrider team
