Adsense Notifier Beta Test, new version

    Im getting very close to releasing the newest version of my Firefox extension Adsense Notifier and am looking for some help to beta test.

    I am looking for a few different types of specific users to test with:
    • Users that have not converted their Adsense account to use the unified Google login.
    • Users that have converted or are in the process of converting (You must have an Adwords account to have done this.)
    • Non-USA users.
    • MAC users.
    • Users still using the 1.0x line of Firefox.
    If you are interested and fall into any of the categories above (or feel that you are would be able to provide some good feedback), please reply here or privately to me with the following info and I will give you a link to my website (http://code.mincus.com) where the Beta extension is.
    • OS Version.
    • Firefox Version.
    • What "category" above you fall into.
    I really appreciate all the help and feedback the users of this forum have given to me to improve the notifier. I have made some really big changes in this version that will open up some really cool possibilities in the future (graphs, multiple accounts/providers).

    UPDATE:
    Tony requested the list of updates:
    • Fixed issue where incorrect information was displayed if there was no data available for a product.
    • Fixed number formatting for some languages.
    • Fixed "Since Last Payment" to work even if user has never received a payment (shows same results as "all time")
    • Fixed login issue where users had migrated or were in the process of migrating their adwords/adsense account to a google account.
    • Fixed divide by zero error when there were earnings but no clicks or no impressions.
    • Added back "all time".
    • Added the ability to choose click landing page.
    • Added locales for numbers. Default is to use the Firefox install locale, but this can be overridden through the options.
    • Added Shift and CTRL clicking so single button mice can take advantage of multiple clicking options.
    • Added first time startup page for new versions.
    • Changed login process to only popup login box if username or password is blank. Now if failed login attempt, the "Stats" icon is changed.
    • Changed decimal places from 1 to 2 places to match with Google update.
    • Changed to XPCOM interface. Now all windows share the same backend. This should vastly increase the speed at which additional windows open since they no longer need to login and pull the data. This also opens up the ability to add multiple accounts, have on the fly currency conversion, save cookies to cut down on the logons, graphs, and many other exciting features.
    • Updated XMLHTTPRequest to disable caching. This should slightly increase the chances that the notifier will always get "new" data. That said, the data you get seems to be more dependant on which adsense server you hit and get connected to.

    * OS Version: win XP
    * Firefox Version: 1.0.5.3
    * What "category" above you fall into: Non-USA users

    I actually am using a beta you've sent me after I notified you about the login problem after the adsense maintenance. I'm longing to try the latest beta and maybe I'll win the auction (in reality I don't think so, I'm sure people are waiting till the last day to bid and I'm afraid I can't follow).
