ThinkVantage Password manager incompatible with Firefox 3

[nanto]

I 100% agree with mark051, Mozilla didn't release firefox 3 in a zap, there are some beta release before finally it comes to final version and released to public.
Developers (of extension), if they are really care about, should be able to use the beta / RC version to develope an update for their extension to work with this new version of firefox. Well most of the favourite extension developer did this but not lenovo :-(
But, imho there is nothing we can do about it but wait & pray that the deleloper in lenovo will hear our voice & do make the update soonest.

Here is how to make it work in Firefox 3:

1. Find tvtpwm_moz_xpi.xpi in Client Security Solution install directory (C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution)
2. Open it using your fav zip program (I used 7-Zip)
3. Change install.rdf and update <em:maxVersion>2.0+</em:maxVersion> to <em:maxVersion>3.0+</em:maxVersion>
4. Open chrome/tvtpwm.jar
   
5. Edit content/tvtpwm.js and replace window.addEventListener("load", onLoad, true); with following:
   window.addEventListener("load", function () { gBrowser.addEventListener("load", onLoad, true); }, false);
   
6. Now install tvtpwm_moz_xpi.xpi.  You can do this by opening "Add-ons" window (Tools/Add-ons menu) and drag-and-drop xpi file in it.

Thank you "ktp".  Your suggestion worked beautifully.  I see that you edited (and simplified) your code after I used it.  Should I go back and apply your latest version?  Now, although Password Manager is filling in my FireFox password fields, I can't find the Password Manager icon, and it seems to have disappeared from the list of ThinkVantage applications too :-(

You should update the code because new one would perform better.  But either one should work.

I don't know why your PM icon  (I think you are talking about the toolbar icon) disappeared, but you can try Tools/Password Manager... menu item from firefox to open the application or you can always open it from Client Security Solutions. 

If you are talking about PM shortcut from Start/Programs, then I never had that.

When FireFox 3 broke the Password Manager I thought 'no problem, I'll just go run Password Manager and look up my passwords'.  Doh!  Couldn't find the toolbar icon.  You're right, ktp, Tools/Password Manager works, and as to the missing Password Manager shortcut in Start/Programs, maybe I was halucinating and it never existed?

In any case, ktp, if you don't work for Lenovo, could you PLEASE get a job there?  You've been infinitely more responsive than Lenovo; it will be interesting to see how long it takes for them to release your fix, officially.

Works brilliantly (just need to make sure you use the 7-zip editor referenced).   Thanks so much!

Which version of CSS did you modify? I still have version 8.0. I do not have a Chrome directory. For me, tvtpwm.jar is in the Client Security Solution root directory. Also, what did you use to edit tvtpwm.jar? I tried several text editors and see mostly gibberish.

Open the tvtpwm.jar with the suggested 7-zip-editor or rename the tvtpwm.jar to tvtpwm.jar.zip. open it with your zip-tool, extract the file and edit it.
