WWW-Mechanize-Firefox

Changes for version 0.69

! Redid the "page completed" logic because Firefox 18 fires events in an order that breaks WWW::Mechanize::Firefox. Please test this module version before upgrading!
- Code that sets $mech->events() will need review, because WWW::Mechanize::Firefox is now heavily tied to receiving "pagehide", "DOMContentLoaded" and "load" events, in that order.
! File downloads are now synchronous by default. Pass "progress" => {} to ->save_url() if you want them to run in the background. ! Compatibility fix for location changes ! Various compatibility fixes for Firefox 18, which broke backwards compatibility in various undocumented ways.
WWW::Mechanize::Firefox is currently tested against the following versions
- 3.0.19
- 3.5.19
- 3.6.21
- 5.0.1

- 10.0.5 (ESR)
