Noah "Awesome" Slater, 1.9.1.4? That's quite interesting. Because 1.8.1 isn't out yet. And Spidermonkey doesn't use a 4 digit numbering scheme. Obviously your computer has been compromised by the alien overlords in preparation for your removal. I would invest in a tent and bottled water so you can hide in the forest when they come to collect you. I bid you farewell and godspeed on your travels while evading your soon to be captors. Granted, the packagers could just be referencing the Firefox/XUL Runner version. Either way, that's gonna be an issue as that API was deprecated in 1.8.0. And then changed again in 1.8.1 which doesn't exist yet. That patch isn't terribly difficult. I'll should be able to get to it tonight. Although, did you check the SVN log for the 0.9.x branch? I was wondering idly the other day if there's actually been any backports to 0.9.x since the 0.9.1 release. Granted it wasn't intriguing enough of a thought since I didn't bother to flip to the terminal and run the necessary commands to find out for myself. Mostly because that would've reminded me that I still have to use SVN occasionally. And generally I have to take a shower each time I have to confront that fact. Which, as you might imagine, can be a bit complicated when answering such emails at work. Its a thing I've been working through with my psychiatrist. Progress has been mostly slow but I really feel like I might get past it at some point in the future now. Granted that doesn't mean I'm quite through it. The emotional scarring runs deep. Can I be a mongoose dog? HTH, Paul Davis
