Requesting URL to gnome-shell integration plugin for Firefox

Question

I have a large binary number stored as a string in a variable. Something like this :

10111100100001010101010101010100000111111111001010101...

I want to split it in chunks of 8, so I use this : chunk_split($text, 8); but chunk_split() returns a string.

How do I store all the chunks in an array ?

Solution 1

Here you go!

It is on Firefox's add-on page but is hard to find with the browser's local search machine.

Solution 2

I believe the confusion is that the plugin does not seem to be shipped as a plugin on ff addons. Instead, you find it in the repo for your distro. See the file lists below. Unfortunately, it also appears that not all the distros put it in the same "kind" of place.

Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/amd64/gnome-shell/filelist Fedora: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/updates/19/x86_64/gnome-shell-3.8.4-3.fc19.x86_64.html

The actual plugin (as an xpi) may be available some place, but I can't find it.

Also, the link in @user118369 is to the tbird plugin which is something else entirely.

Solution 3

This file is a PLUGIN of firefox (NOT an extension) and therefore it's stored under

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so

you may check that in a fully functional (gnome!) firefox by entering this in the adressbar of firefox:

about:plugins

then scroll down to "Gnome Shell Integration", where you'll find it's path.

If the file is missing under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins i have no idea how to get it, it is probably part of gnome-shell itself (maybe reinstall?). Hope this helps

EDIT: Just fixed it! Boot a live image of gnome, mount your local hard-disk and drag that libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so file to YourDisk/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. I just fixed my FF/Gnome :)

The plugin is available at the Firefox extensions site.

Got it. It's done like this : str_split($text, 8);

[Christoffer Hammarström]

That's for Thunderbird.

How does this answer get upvoted or selected as the correct answer? It is indeed for Thunderbird, yet the OP asks for a Firefox plugin (which still eludes us)
