Fixed some bugs in the Movie Ratings Firefox extension.

• Removed the HTML that was displayed in the title and the hover movie stats.
• The rating image was not being displayed.

Movie Ratings is now compatible with Firefox 3.6.

Update it through Firefox or download it here.

I’ve made a small update to the Movie Ratings extension to get by a limitation in how Rotten Tomatoes handles non-word characters (thanks Eric).

Update it through Firefox or download it here.

Many people have noted that for the past week HTML code is displayed instead of movie ratings. This is because RottenTomatoes.com made a slight modification to their layout which threw off my parser. I have fixed the issue and the next version (1.4.7) is going through Mozilla’s approval process. It should hopefully be up soon. Thanks for your patience.

In the meantime you can install the fixed version without going through Firefox’s add-on updates.

Steps:

1. Download Movie Ratings 1.4.6 with Hot Fix.
2. Uninstall your current version of Movie Ratings from the Add-Ons window.
3. Drag the downloaded file on to the Add-Ons window to install it.
4. Restart Firefox.

Version 1.4.7 was approved by Mozilla. If you already have Movie Ratings you will receive a notification for an update. If not, download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9279.

Version 1.4.5 of Movie Ratings has been released. The only change in this update is a fix for text appearing white in certain Personas themes. Many people have requested IMDB ratings so I’ve started some preliminary work on it, but my life has been busy lately so I can’t give an eta on when it will be finished. Rest assured, it’s coming.

Movie Ratings is finally out of the Mozilla sand box as version 1.4.4. Thanks to everyone who tested it!

Version 1.4.3 of Movie Ratings is out. There are not any major changes. The extension was rejected by Mozilla because the code was not in it’s own namespace. I had completely overlooked that. I have resubmitted the extension for public status. Back to the end of their long nomination queue…

Changes:

• If an exact match is found it will go straight to the movie rating skipping the search results. You can always go back to the search results if it’s not the movie you’re looking for. This feature can be turned off in the options under Tools->Add-ons.
• Bug fixes.

I’ve released a new version of Movie Ratings which only contains one fix for an issue involving selecting text in Gmail (thanks Elton) hence the 1.4.1 numbering instead of 1.5. I’ve also applied for public release of the extension to take it out of the sandbox, but there are a lot of people in the queue so it’ll be a while.

Also, some requests for features that might make it into 1.5 include:

• IMDB support (this is a huge maybe as I’ve heard IMDB makes it difficult to pull ratings)
• Go straight to the rating if the searched movie is an exact match. I purposefully did not have this before since there are cases where movies have identical names. This feature has been requested and it won’t hurt to add it so I will make it a configurable option. Also, I have an idea for changing the UI that will deal with the cases where movies have identical names.
