I Swear I Fixed It This Time

If you read the comments about GCalQuickTab, then you'll notice that I have a lot of unsatisfied customers, and I admit that they have a right to be upset because GCalQuickTab 0.3 makes it easy to unintentionally open Google Calendar while composing an email. Most users probably think I'm a moron, but I assure you that it's not that simple...

When you type the letter L in Gmail, GCalQuickTab tries to figure out if you are trying to enter text in a box, or if you are trying to activate the GCalQuickTab shortcut for Calendar. Unfortunately, the heuristic that I was using to make this distinction involved checking frame names, but then the names of the frames in Gmail changed, breaking my extension. I just submitted GCalQuickTab 0.3.1 which has a more robust heuristic -- it traverses the DOM and looks for a document in design mode, which would reflect that Gmail's rich content editor is open and that the user is probably trying to type an L in his email, in which case Google Calendar will not be opened.

Unfortunately, there are often a lot of extensions in the queue to be reviewed, so I'm not sure when version 0.3.1 will hit the Mozilla Update site. For example, version 0.3 took a little over a week to be approved, so 0.3.1 may also take some time. I feel bad for those of you who are still using ones instead of Ls in your email, so in the interim, so I am posting GCalQuickTab 0.3.1 on bolinfest.com. The updateURL for the extension still points to Mozilla Update, so even if you download GCalQuickTab from bolinfest.com, you will still get future updates to the extension.
