[Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11

[Jonnyboy]

hi.. been using this app for quite a while now...and have been very pleased with it...

but recently ive not been able to use it..

i get error on both versions 3.6.28 & 13.0.1

14.0b11 is not showing up in the list..

but 14.0b10 is in its place and is the only one that can be made silent

ive tried this on both xp and seven with same results

will there be a update coming at any time soon..

many thanks in advance..

I have made some bug fixes in the last couple of weeks, but they are untested. I need a a week or two and some free time to go through them. Then, I will post an update.

We are waiting patiently... I'm willing to test

[Jonnyboy]

Still no free time, but I will look at it right now and see if I can see a problem.

Hi Jonnyboy,

just one issue in v1.02.11 I "discovered" and tested yesterday:

everytime I start to create an installer, the tool doesn't find the FF-Installer and downloads it every time,

even if the FF have been downloaded during the "create" before and it is still present in the "temp/files"-folder.

BTW: I use FF 14.0.1 , german version.

One question: what is the difference between Shockwave "slim" and "full"?

When I removed the code that verified that installer matched the posted MD5, I also removed the ability to reuse a previously downloaded installer. I didn't and don't have the time, right now, to properly fix it.

As to the Shockwave installers, other than file size, I really don't know. If you go the the Adobe Shockwave site and download it, it will automatically give you the slim version.

That's the best that I can do for now.

BTW: Very few people even use this anymore, or ever really did.

It's OK, thank you for your answer.

I am currently rewriting FFaM again. This time in WPF .NET 4.0. I am in the beginning stages of the layout. If, you would like to offer your suggestions as to the UI, please post them here or email me.

This is a tool that I learn with and learn from.

You can follow me on github.

Hi Jonnyboy,

I get this error, if I try to work with FFaM.

If I choose "continue" (Weiter) it does not end the process, even after a long time; this error is not language dependent

The last FF-Version the tool was working with was FF 15.0.1.

Regards, Thiersee

[Jonnyboy]

Thank you for the info. That problem may have been with Mozilla pulling Firefox 16 and then making it available again. I am not sure.

But, as I am working an yet another rewrite, I will fix any and all bugs that have been found.

I basically have the same error he has on version 17.0.1.

 

The program says the installer is not found, even though it's there, and downloads it, but never finishes or starts. Happens on any language.

 

This program worked perfectly for me in version 15 and below.

 

Any help please? Thanks for all your work!!!

Bump for justice!!! Please help, or does anyone know how to create it manually after configuring Firefox's profile?

[Thiersee]

Jonnyboy is working on a new version (have a look at post #835); at the moment is FFaM not working!

You can use MozBackup: it's not creating a silent-install like FFaM, only a backup of your profile.

I am considering reviving this project. But, first I would like to guage the interest. if, you have an interest in seeing this app updated, please join me at irc.synirc.net #FFaM and show your support.

[Jonnyboy]

No worries. It is apparent that this project is dead.

[ricktendo]

I am accustomed to it, there are allot of people who may use stuff but they are mostly deadbeats. Nobody seems to want it, even if you are giving it to them for free

[Jonnyboy]

Hey ric,

 

How you been? Long time, eh? Things sorta slowing down and was looking for a project. But, this is probably too old to revive and not in any real demand anyway.

[ricktendo]

Same old my friend, same old.

IMO update it if you use it yourself and share it with the rest of us. I only do installers that I personally use and share it so others can too.

[Jonnyboy]

Well, I have not used this in years. Mozilla makes it too easy and this is almost unneeded.
