Re: RemoteObject.pm fails in open firefox8.0

The mozrepl plug-in just received some updates regarding script caching. These might be related to your problem.

But this makes me wonder how you installed MozRepl::RemoteObject. Did it ever pass its test suite on Firefox 8? If it didn't pass its test suite, why do you expect it to work?

It was installed by ppm install before. And it never pass any testing suite on FF8(8.0b1~8.0b6)! But it works under FF3.6~FF7. For me now I need to find a solution to automate FF8, even it is under beta developing. This is helpful for me(Maybe also other firefox developers). And back to the cause, I now could almost see the problem may come to firefox 8.0 final release in the future. In that case, fixing the problem will be urgently enough. So bring investigation forward for this issue might be a nice suggestion.	[reply]

Hi, after updating mozrepl to the latest one as you mentioned, now it works! This is quite exciting! Thanks a lot!	[reply]

I'm now testing against Firefox 8 as well, because now there are portable versions of it. At least using the latest version of `mozrepl` at commmit 552ed9b1, or maybe just the latest as a zip file, tests pass for MozRepl::RemoteObject 0.28. If you are trying to install "the latest" mozrepl from a zip file, you need to restructure the zip file to remove the top level directory, and then rename the zip file to `.xpi` for easy installing.
