A Recoll Firefox Extension

This is a Firefox extension that provides the capability to include content of the web pages visited in the text search index of the Recoll text search tool.

Installable packages are not stored here any more, the extension should be installed from its page on the Mozilla add-ons Web site

Version 2.1.3 - 2015-07-26

• Pruned a lot of dead code inherited from the original Beagle version.
• Cleaned up for conformance with minimal Mozilla standards, so that the extension could be reviewed and can now be directly installed from the Mozilla add-ons site (search for 'recoll' on addons.mozilla.org).
• The extension should thus remain usable with Mozilla versions from the near future (which will force signature verification). It is still not compatible with E10S (multiprocess Firefox), so this should not be turned on if you want pages to be queued for indexing.

Version 1.3.0 - 2015-02-14

• Added a toolbar icon with the same functionality as the old add-on status bar icon. The add-on status bar was removed from Firefox with version 29. The status bar icon is still available, for those people who prefer to use an add-on status bar extension in Firefox.
• Upgraded imbedded jslib library from 0.1.184-modified to 0.1.375-modified. My modifications included:
  • Fixed jslib by changing use of "const" declarations for global variables to "var" declarations to address variable scoping change made in Firefox 36.
  • Changed jslib "FileUtils()" function name back to "jsFileUtils()" to avoid name conflict.
  • Replaced "dump()" function for debug/info/error messages with "console.log()" and "console.error()" functions.
• Tested on Firefox version 35.0.1 and 37.0a2

Version 1.2.3 - 2014-02-16

• Fix naming conflict in jslib FileUtils module and Forefox 27.*

Version 1.2.2 - 2013-10-28

• Support Firefox versions <= 28.*

Version 1.2.1 - 2013-05-22

• Fix bug in handling of private browsing mode

Version 1.2.0 - 2013-05-21

• Implement new (Firefox 20+) method for detecting private browsing mode
• Support Firefox versions <= 24.*

Version 1.1.2 - 2013-03-08

• Support Firefox versions <= 22.0

Version 1.1.1 - 2012-12-12

• Support Firefox versions <= 19.*

Version 1.1.0 - 2012-12-07

• Respect Private Browsing setting in Firefox:
  1. If you have Recoll indexing of the web pages you visit enabled when you switch on Private Browsing, then web page indexing will be switched off. If you want to switch it back on again while you are in Private Browsing, you can do so by clicking the Recoll indexing icon in the status bar. When you turn Private Browsing off, Recoll web page indexing will be turned back on.
  2. If you have configured Firefox to always start up with Private Browsing turned on, then Recoll web page indexing will always be switched off when you start Firefox. You can switch it on manually by clicking its icon in the status bar.

Version 1.0.0 - 2012-10-30

• Update maxVersion in the install.rdf file to "18.*" to allow the installation on this extension in newer versions of Firefox.
• Rename "bind" function in utils.js as "recoll_bind" in order to eliminate a conflict with an internal browser function. This was causing the extension to block the use of the enter key in the browser's location/address bar.
• Change all instances of "beagle" to "recoll" in file names, source code, etc, as part of a general rebranding of this extension from Beagle to Recoll.
• Create new Recoll-specific icons for the browser Add-Ons page and status bar.
