usefull…

Thanks for your feedback Stephen. Had a nice lady from Delicious comment on an old post on my other blog about my review of the Delicious preview. At least you guys and gals handle the community aspect of your business very well.

Question: are there any plans for the Delicious preview version? I really like it, and I never had any problems with it.

I’m pretty confident that it has either been put on the back burner or there is still serious testing going on. My money is on the former.

Most of my reasons for wanting to switch would be rectified if I could use the Delicious extension with the preview version.

Anyways, I hope it is fixed, and I will check out the new version. I will also try to replicate my issue with Firefox crashing after installing the Delicious plugin.

Thanks for your time.

We have been listening to the feedback and take it very seriously.

To provide some context, we launched our add-on last week when RC3 was the most current available version of Firefox 3.0. When the final release of Firefox 3.0 came out this week, it turned out to include a number of significant changes that broke aspects of the Delicious add-on.

We immediately got to work on fixes, and we have in fact just shipped an update that fixes many of the reported issues. This new version (2.0.64) has just been posted to Mozilla’s addons.mozilla.org site, and Firefox 3.0 should notify users shortly of the update.

Regarding your browser crashing on startup, we suspect another add-on may not be playing well with Delicious. If you have any more info you can provide about your set up and the other extensions you are using, we’d really appreciate that information so we can dig further.

Thanks for the feedback; we are working hard to make sure this add-on remains fast and reliable, and you should see a major improvement very shortly.
