Firefox Users

Hi There,

Couldn’t get Bitcomet working with newer versions of Firefox.

What version of Firefox does Bitcomet 1.40 support?

I also tried installing Cometbird & then installing Bitcomet 1.40, but that doesn’t work either

Same issue - the option to select Bitcomet when downloading / saving files does not appear.

Thanks

Tim

If you are referring to Firefox add-on support, there is already a thread about this: http://www.cometforums.com/topic/12799647-firefox-extension-issue

You can also try using “flashgot” extension for firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashgot/

This is what bitcomet’s extension is based on and it lets you use bitcomet as well as other download managers and you can select for each download , or send all downloads to bitcomet which I don’t recommend because some servers don’t allow multiple connections so some things you’ll have to get the slow old fashioned way. I used to use BitComet, Free Download Manager and FileZilla all with flashgot extension. Each has their strong points, but in my mind there is no doubt BitComet is the most advanced client in the world, if it wasn’t I wouldn’t be here supporting it.

Thank you, the add on is now allowing Bitcomet to work.

I agree, I love Bitcomet & use it regularly, thats why it is frustrating when Mozilla update FF & it stops working :slight_smile:

Unfortunately Firefox made a choice a few years back to change the way they issued new versions of the browser. They always had major version numbers require all extensions be rewritten but for many years we went from firefox 1 to firefox 3, and updates were done by going from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 and so on, but then then went to version 4, then 5, then to 6, 7, 8 etc with only weeks between instead of years and each time forcing bitcomet to redo all their work and all this during a crisis on how to finance the bitcomet project, so we were forced to put the firefox issue on the back burner, and with the growing popularity of Google Chrome browser it was nice that support for that was added, but glad FlashGot has helped your problem.

hi, a blind computer user, and using the jaws for windows screen reader from http://www.freedomscientific.com, in the bit com client, how do i search for content, or do i need to just use the main site, neubie to the torrenting stuff. if any one can help a beginner, let me know. thanks. marvin from australia.

Hi StarTrekCafe,

We had several members using your screen reader a couple years ago from a school for the blind in India and they requested several enhancements to bitcomet to make it more user friendly and the development team made the changes for them.

As for searching torrents, BitComet was more involved with that years ago, but do to lack of finances they no longer have the manpower to keep the lists of torrent sites updated, but there is a search box in the upper righthand corner, the default site to search is “the pirate bay”, but there are others too. The left pane also lists torrent sites, but the lists haven’t been updated in many years and it’s not likely it will be updated anymore. Most users learn the sites they like and use them directly in a browser. This might be a good idea for you if the torrent sites work well with your screen reader.

As for me, my responsibilities are limited to running this forum, so I cannot make changes to the software for you, but would be glad to do anything within my power to help make it easier for our blind users.

Hi,

How i can use google analytics code in (link removed) Firefox extension? because of Firefox not allowing it.

thanks,

Sorry, no spam allowed here

I just wanted to note that Firefox is switching over to web extensions the same as Chrome and pretty much everything else. So that should make it easier for this download manager for everyone.

Some of the people uses some faster browser to speed up the trading and cryptocurrency process.I have also tried to check from the about the faster browser which can be helpful for the reliable connection.This is also helpful for the firefox user applications for the trading purpose.

Please don’t spam
