My Reviews

Gmail Manager-community

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Intelligent effort, good discipline: please keep on the good job.
The old addon has been appropriately taken care of by removing the lack of compatibility with some changes that had taken place in Gmail.
Please keep users informed about future enhancements of this top good addon.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7-beta.1.1-signed). 

Gmail Manager NG

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Version 43.0a2 (2015-09-27) of Aurora blocks it.

IS THERE ANYONE AVAILABLE TO MAINTAIN THIS ADD-ON?
IT MUST CONFORM TO SOME PRESCRIPTIONS OF THE MOZILLA PEOPLE.
(see my other post below)

It works (... with a user-developed workaround) !!
And it serves exactly what is needed by anyone who uses several Gmail accounts.

Within 1 or 2 months (which is the time to get first the beta version and then the official Firefox release) the blockage will reach the other releases of Firefox.

EXPLAINATION:

Starting with FF41 it will be compulsory that the application be "signed", meaning that the developer must conform to some specification: see
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Add-on_guidelines

Otherwise the application will be DEACTIVATED:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox

It will not be possible to bypass this deactivation, because it will be hardcoded in FF.

Since
all actual users of this add-on are relying on a fix informally written by another user,
and
the original developer (Todd Long) is no more developing the add-on,
and
the developer of this fork (Erik Nedwidek) is also no more developing the add-on:

It is most probable that starting from FF41 noone will be able to use this precious add-on.

Is there anyone being able to maintain/solve the problem/develop again the add-on?
