Year of the Code Monkey

Users of Googlebar Lite 4.4 might run into a rather severe bug in Firefox 2.0. The code that Googlebar Lite uses to handle toolbar customization can render the browser menus unusable, given the right circumstances. This is pretty serious, and I am currently testing a fix that I have implemented for the next Googlebar Lite release.

Apparently, this bug will only surface if other extensions are installed that also change the toolbar customization code (though I’m not certain on that point). I recently found this problem after I installed the official Google toolbar (alongside Googlebar Lite), though there have also been several forum posts about it in the MozillaZine Forums. Breaking the browser in this way is clearly not what I want to do, so hopefully the fix I have implemented will work across the board.

I’m currently waiting on my translators over at BabelZilla to complete their particular localizations for version 4.5. Once those are available, I will release the new version ASAP. Also, there are some new treats coming in version 4.5: Google Video search, Google Scholar search, drag and drop support, and more.
