Using Sage-Too with Firefox 3.5

Update: See Sage-Too is dead, long live Sage++ for links to a new version of Sage that works with Firefox 3.5!

So, I upgraded to Firefox 3.5 RC3 today.  I was disappointed (though not at all surprised) to see that my second-favourite add-on (after the essential Oldbar) had stopped working.  The Sage-Too Firefox RSS Reader extension is packaged to run with 3.0b5 to 3.0.*, it seems.

The good news is that manually repackaging the plugin and reinstalling it with 3.5 does work fine.  As far as I can see the project is orphaned – a real shame in my opinion – so if anyone’s interested in a copy, leave a comment here and I’ll whack a page up with instructions (and perhaps even a copy if I can make sure the authors won’t mind.)

    Hey!
    I was just googleing around looking for a workaround to Sage with Firefox 3.5, I am running a nighly build of it and yeah i found out the hard way =(
    I was about to make the switch to google reader but if you have the new code post it up. I would not mind tweaking it to make it more modern, and if your saying it just a simple repacking to get it working it should be re-release on the Firefox add on page

    I’m one of the authors of Sage-Too. Bumping maxVersion to 3.5.* will work, but the drag and drop functionality in the feed tree will stop working.
