Read It Later for Firefox 3 Released!

Nate Weiner - Posted in Blog, ,

The new version of Read It Later with Firefox 3 support is now available!

Read It Later has been completely revamped and hosts a whole new bundle of features including built-in RSS feeds, syncing, offline reading, tagging, multi-language support and more.

You can read all about the new features and get a fresh copy on Read It Later’s project page.

Here is the original demo updated to show the new improvements.

Most Importantly: Thank YOU!

The newest version of Read It Later is all thanks to you.  The feedback I’ve received has been nothing short of phenomenal.  Almost of the new features have come directly from the comments and emails I’ve received from the community.  It would not be what it is without you, so keep it up!

Special Thanks to Those Who Helped Beta Test and Translate

The new version of Read It Later has support for multiple languages (with some more I haven’t added into the install yet).  The translations were done generously by Read It Later users from around the globe.  What can I say, Read It Later users are simply awesome.

Thanks to the translators:

Thanks to the Beta Testers:

What Next?

  2. Thanks for updating this. I was worried it wouldn’t work in FF3. This is one of my favorite add-ons.

  5. Would you add a feature that remembers scroll location and form fields like Taboo.
    I like your plugin and translated it into zh-CN in BabelZilla. Thanks for your great addon.

  6. It would be great to delete read items. Also, I now have an acct and can log out & back in, but how can I make my add-in use a particular set of login credentials instead of its own crazy username? I didn’t see where to permanently change it…

  7. I love this plugin, but I can’t use it any more once I started using my new notebook which runs on Windows Vista rather than XP. I just keep on getting the following error message:

    There was a problem starting Read It Later. Try restarting Firefox, if this happens again, let us know at ideashower.com. The following error message might be helpful to the developer when reporting the problem:

    [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsINavHistoryService.executeQuery]” nsresult: “0×000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)” location: “JS frame :: chrome://isreaditlater/content/ISRIL.js :: anonymous :: line 366″ data: no]

    Does anyone share the same problem? Could the site admin give me some advice? Thanks.

    Do you know when this started happening? I’m starting to get more reports of this error and I’m wondering if it has something to do with the upgrade to Firefox 3.0.3.

    Regardless, here is how to resolve it:

    If you open Firefox and enter this into location bar: about:config
    (hit go or enter)

    Then in the filter field paste in:
    isreaditlater.folder

    It should show two lines folderGUID and folderId.
    Right click both and click ‘reset’.

    Then restart Firefox.

    This will force Read It Later to select a new folder to store your Read It Later items into (which you can change back under options).
