Auto follow Echofon on Twitter?scribe ★φ [2/10/2010 07:29:00 下午]
English summary:
Echofon since version 1.9.5 has a bug that will ask for following @echofon on Twitter at your next time running Firefox. When you choose No, it'll let your Twitter account auto follow echofon account. That makes users feel inconvenient or impolite.
Reproduction step:
1. Type "about:config" in Address bar
2. Filter: twitternotifier
3. Set extensions.twitternotifier.checkFollow to 1
4. Restart Firefox
When you open Firefox, the prompting will popup again. 在Firefox很好用的一個擴充套件 EchoFon (舊稱 TwitterFox) 是知名微網誌推特 (Twitter) 的 Notifier。一直以來使用它來收發 Tweets 都非常方便,不過這篇不打算對它作介紹,而是要來紀錄一個在 1.9.5 版本會遇到的問題。(1.9.5.1 版確認此問題仍舊存在)
這麼一來,我們就可以看看剛才是不是誤按了......確實不是,明明按了否但是 following 卻自動增加了官方帳號,難怪官方帳號的 followers 那麼多,我覺得這是很不尊重使用者的 Bug,希望下一版能夠改掉這個問題。順便做個紀錄。
發生原因 / Cause:
Echofon.jar/content/twitterfox.js:
According to MDC, confirmEx always returns index of the button pressed (like 0, 1, 2). No is 1, so followEchofon will be run. Instead, press Yes (index 0) won't run it.
