Firefox 10 released – Foxamp should still work!

As regular Foxamp users will know, I’ve generally had to release a new version of Foxamp each time Firefox was updated – despite the fact that this shouldn’t be necessary as of Firefox 4 or so. I wrote in November that that should no longer be the case – however, I was, it seems wrong. However, Firefox now seems to be able to upgrade Foxamp in such a way that it does work even without downloading a new version of it. I’ve tried upgrades and fresh installs, and it all seems to work, at long last. So, if anybody does have any problems, please let me know. Otherwise, happy Foxamping!

Also, I know there are still a few issues with this version, and people have sent me other feature requests too, and I do hope to be able to release a new version at some point. Mostly the issue is finding the time, unfortunately!

As some of you know, I have become a bit of a frequent flyer over the past few years, and created an earnings calculator for bmi Diamond Club a couple of years ago. With bmi’s impending sale to British Airways, I’ve now created an earnings calculator for the British Airways Executive Club, showing how many Avios and tier points you’ll earn on any given itinerary. There may be some bugs or incorrect values in it – let me know if you spot anything that’s wrong, or if you have any other comments about it.

Happy new year!
