gvpdbish / firefox-showip Goto Github PK

Please provide a version with 3.1b2 support.

Regards,

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start Firefox
2. Go to any website
3. only the domain name is shown.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the IP address as per previous versions, but now it only
shows the domain name... No IP Address.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.16

Please provide any additional information below.
O/S Vista 32bit - Firefox v3.0.6
After the issue 18 compatibility problems with "organize statusbar" the
pre-release version "showip_0.8.15pre1.xpi" fixed everything, all was
working great and back to normal.  But with Todays update to v0.8.16 there
is now this other problem of only domain name showing and no IP address.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a new entry in Services tab in Configuration, which refers a
local console application. (i.e. whois.exe from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897435.aspx)
2. Try to run the new command from statusbar right click menu.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: whois.exe console window appearing with whois information about
the site, then dissapearing.
Instead: Absolutely nothing. The application doesn't run at all.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FF 3.0.8 on XP_SP3_EN

Please provide any additional information below.

None of the console applications can be run through ShowIP, even those that
waits for user input, so this not a problem about the console application
closing right after doing its job.

-What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. refresh shown IPs on hard-refresh
2. or refresh IPs when explicitly called for, like a refresh-button


-What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
changing my hosts-file normally would need a restart of firefox, but I can
bypass that in firefox. The new host is called, but showip does not update
its information, so it still shows the old IP


-What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
linux/ubuntu 7.10, firefox 2.0.0.13

-Please provide any additional information below.
A friend wrote a little plugin which looks up the hosts-file, when doing a
hard-refresh.

I hope you don't mind my issue, it's rather a feature request.


greetings

Benedikt

I try to add sixxs whois to the list, but I can't.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Show IP settings
2. Title = sixxs, URL = http://www.sixxs.net/tools/whois/?##
3. Click Add
4. Close and check status box or reopen settings

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
sixxs should be on the list, but it isn't. It vanishes from settings too.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.17 on Windows XP / Firefox 3.0.8

Please provide any additional information below.
I've been able to put RIPE whois before.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start firefox.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I don't like button style view of show IP, but today I started firefox - I see 
ShopIP in button style.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0, Win XP

Please provide any additional information below.
ShowIP appeared in "button" style on add-on bar when I started firefox. 
Disabling/enabling does not solve the problem. I prefer the older style.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. right click and choose: copy to clipboard
2. try to paste the IP somewhere, it does not work...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should paste the IP address but nothing happens, copy goes OK but cannot
paste it....

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ShowIP 0.8.09r21b0269 on Ubuntu trepid, FF 3.0.3

Please provide any additional information below.
This has always worked, I hope you can fix this.....

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a packet sniffer like Wireshark to watch your DNS (udp.port == 53)
connections
2. Change your Firefox network settings to use a socks proxy, something
like tor with torbutton making it easier
3. Go to a site in your Firefox location bar that doesn't have its address
cached


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output in Wireshark would be no DNS requests, but they happen
anyways.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Version 0.8.14, Vista Home Premium 64

Please provide any additional information below.

If this cannot be fixed a warning about using socks for DNS requests and
privacy would be useful.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a new entry for whois.centralnic.net
2. URL = https://www.centralnic.com/names/domains/whois?domain=#D#
3. Select IPv4

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected https://www.centralnic.com/names/domains/whois?domain=mydomain.com

got https://www.centralnic.com/names/domains/whois?domain=#D#

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latest version on firefox 3.0.3

Please provide any additional information below.

Please include an option to remove the border around the ShowIP. The ShowIP 
button pops out ugly in my browser.

See attachment.:)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upgrade automaticaly to Firefox 4

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I don't see the statusbar on bottom on my Firefox window.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 4, latest version

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Turn off IPv6
2. Visit e.g. ipv6.aerasec.de
3. Look

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The IPv4 address, but I see the IPv6 address

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest on Debian Linux

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open a 'local tab' (such as about:config, Add-ons Manager, or a new tab)
2. Open and go to an 'internet tab' (such as this page), the sites IP is 
displayed in the status bar correctly
3. Switch back to the 'local tab' the last displayed internet tab's IP is 
displayed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected output, would be no ip
output is, last IP.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Running Firefox 4.0b1 beta, ShowIP 0.8.19, Ubutu (10.x)

Please provide any additional information below.
Can provide of other extensions installed if needed.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install ShowIP and Organize Statusbar
2. When clicking on the IP in the statusbar, the IP text reverts to
'ShowIP' and the popup menu will not appear.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ShowIP 0.8.10r22b0272
Organize Statusbar 0.6.2
Firefox 3.0.6

>What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a new page in a tab.
2. Attempt to switch between open tabs.
3. Do anything else to the newly focused tab.

>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When changing tabs, I expect the change to be nearly instant. Instead,
Firefox stops responding for a moment (sometimes indefinitely). Often, the
tab bar will change focus, then after a short period of irresponsiveness
(~3 seconds), the page will redraw. Often the scroll bar needs to take a
bit of time to work out how long the page is.

Firefox will often stop responding when trying to do anything just after
switching tabs.

>What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Show IP 0.8.08r14b0251, Firefox 3.01, OS X 10.5.4

>Please provide any additional information below.
This problem persists even on a fresh profile, with other extensions disabled.

I hope I've given you enough information to reproduce the problem. I love
this extension and was rather disappointed to find it was the cause of my
problem (because I'll have to make do without it until a solution is
found). I look forward to a fix! Keep up the great work.

> What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add an entry to foo.example.com [1] in hosts(5)
2. point browser (with ShowIP installed) to foo.example.com
3. note that ShowIP is using the resolved address, not the hosts one.

> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd have expected the over-riding address to have shown, perhaps with some
distinction (maybe a different color?), and not that being resolved.

> What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ShowIP 0.8.07build0249, on firefox-3.0 (3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3), under 8.04

> Please provide any additional information below.
D'you need anything else? Can anyone else report this?

You need a web site accessible with 2 different IP adresses

exemple of hosts file :
192.168.0.1 my.domain.fr
#192.168.0.2 my.domain.fr


On Firefox, install extensions "ShowIP" and "DNS Cache"
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5914)

disable dns cache.

load the web site.

You can see the IP used to reach the web site.

Change your hosts file to attach the other IP adress to the web site.

Reload the web site on Firefox (without restarting Firefox)

The site is reached throw the new IP, but ShowIP still shows the previous one.


So there must be some kind of cache in ShowIP. It would be nice if it was
possible to reset this cache when you want.


I use actualy ShowIP version 0.8.16 and DNS Cache v 1.4, on windows XP

First, I would like to say thanks for this great extension. 

I'm not sure if you are taking requests, but here's a function that would
be interesting if implemented. I would like to be able to link an url and
an IP address so that when I'm browsing the website, the extension would
issue an alert if the IP address is not the one I inserted. Is this even
possible?

 I learned that it would also be useful if a
similar feature could be applied to all windows produced by the
browser.  For example, when I first go to many web sites that require
login, I get a pop-up window similar to that shown in the attached
image (the site is from where a friend works, the precise location is
irrelevant).  If I click cancel, I am sent to an error-message page.
On that page, I can see the IP addy of the machine, which might not
match the URL masked in the address bar at the top.  But, it would be
nice to be able to extract the IP for the window that requested the
username and password.

uncompatibilty with firefox 4

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. richt click on ip 
2. use firefox 4


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- menu of show ip, i see new firefox menu over show ip menu

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest version, 0.8.19 on windows7 64bit using firefox 4

Please provide any additional information below.

The default firefox 4 menu to chanhe menu task bar is over the the right click 
menu of sho ip, due to this the right click option cannot be used.

This is only on new firefox4 browser, other extensions do not have this problem 
only showip.
See attached screenshot.

Hope this can be fixed.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a zh-CN version firefox
2. open option window of ShowIP
3. &pref.behave; is a undefined entity

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.19

Please provide any additional information below.

Seems the translation is out of the date. please remove it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. visit http://www.kame.net/
2. notice the green IPv6 in the status bar
3. notice the not-dancing-at-all turtle
4. use wireshark to actually confirm you connected using IPv4

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the address actually used during the HTTP session to show by
default in the status bar, while the addon always shows IPv6 addresses when
available.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 2 on both Windows and FreeBSD.

It would be useful to be able to customize the display area that now displays 
only the IP.

I would find it extremely useful to be able to add other info. The data might 
be extracted let's say from netcraft or any of the other services you now setup 
by default or could come from a web service that gets the IP and returns the 
display string (easy to setup for custom outputs).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add an hosts file entry to different IP than is defined in DNS server.
2. Go to domain name in FF
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
IP of site as defined in local hosts file.  Instead ShowIP displays IP based on 
DNS server entry.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.19 in FF4 on Mac OS X 10.6.7

Please provide any additional information below.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.) Go to: http://www.pokerbandits.ca/url-encryptor.php

2.) Type in a URL (Eg: http://www.mozilla.org/)

3.) Click the various links.

Actual Results:  
The URL is displayed in the address bar, Firefox Freezes, and after while,
displays the error:

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can
stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: chrome://ipv6ident/content/ipv6ident.js:271

Expected Results:  
The page loads successfully.

Firefox Version 3.0.3, ShowIP Version 0.8.08r14b0251 (Wow... Long Version
Number)

It might take a bit of messing around on

http://www.pokerbandits.ca/url-encryptor.php

But it normally happens in under a minute of trying the assorted encrypted
links for 2 or 3 sites :)

In the new firefox (4) version add-on do not work.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use ShowIp with Firefox 4 Beta 11
2. Right-click at the ShowIP plugin (at the add-on bar)
3. Now two context menus are shown: the ShowIP's one and the Firefox's. But 
Firefox's context menu overlaps ShowIP's context menu

I think that Firefox context menu should not be shown (as with Firefox 3.6).

I am using ShowIP 0.8.19 under Firefox 4 Beta 11. My OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

Hello,

A group of my colleagues use this firefox extension. When talking about it, 
they stated that it would be nice if the IP could be launched directly to an 
SSH session (for server management). After some tweaking, I was able to add 
this feature. I don't if this fits into your overall design of this extension, 
but others may find it handy.

Attached is the modified source.

Simply specify the location of your PuTTY client in the behavior page, and a 
"Connect with SSH" menu item will appear on the pop-up menu beneath "Copy to 
Clipboard".

What steps will reproduce the problem?
http://code.google.com/p/firefox-showip/issues/detail?id=19
Describes the issue, but in this case you use Foxyproxy instead of entering
proxy info manually or using Torbutton.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See above link.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
See above link.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install Seamonkey 2.0b1
2. install latest showip (older versions don't work either)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There's no IP address displayed on the status bar. See the attached screenshot.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Showip 0.8.17 + Seamonkey 2.0b1 on Centos 5 i386.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Addon -> Setting -> Services -> Add anything
2. The whole MSettings menu does not show up in full size. Ok Button is cut
from Gui (Services and User Interface)
3. Tested with FF 3.5 Beta1 to beta 3, using No skin, (official), using skins.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing, must click blind tab until maybe visual the cursor is on OK box
until it takes/saves the settings and close the menu

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 3.5 Beta 1, Beta2, Beta3, Beta4 and latest Beta 5 pre tested with
official skin (no other addons installed). Also tested with different skins

Please provide any additional information below.

Screenshot (now with a skin but its the same if no skin is installed)

See Screenshot in Attachment

Related to the "custom display area", it would be nice to have a link to a data 
file that might export different variables for IP ranges.

The file might look like this:

192.168.0.0/24:
  dc: THIS LAN
  hoster: THIS Company
127.0.0.1:
  dc: THIS LAN
  hoster: THIS Computer

Whenever an IP matches a IP range the "dc" and "hoster" variables would gain 
the appropriate values and would be available for display.

A static/cached file would display the data instantly.
A service that takes the IP and returns the variable would make the feature 
more useful ... it may be possible to get the data from cache it it exists and 
in the background update the cached data.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Addon
2. Choose Set Preferences
3. Begin Scrolling down the URL's

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?  I would expect to
see the window continue to scroll, however after about 7 or 8 down arrow's
firefox locks up and has to restart/relaunch.  


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.10.r22b0272, MAC 10.5, Firefox 3.0.5.

Please provide any additional information below.
I had added additional sites which are working to the menu.  However when i
try to go back and edit them, add or delete the above behaviour occurs.  I
tried to uninstall but the additional sites I added show up in the freshly
installed version and I have the same problem.

One of the sites I added was a plain http:// whois lookup, but the second I
added and when the problems seemed to start was a whois lookup on an https
site.  Not sure if that matters.

Thanks,
Any help is appreciated.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Search https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/ for this extension.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Given its compatibility with the Mozilla Suite I expected to find the
extension, but it was nowhere to be found. However, using the Firefox link
the extension installs cleanly on SeaMonkey.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

SeaMonkey 1.1.9 on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger): Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel
Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080313 SeaMonkey/1.1.9

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Firefox 4 and ShowIP 0.8.19
2. Enable the "Add-on bar" in Firefox 4
3. Go to the webpage of your choice
4. Right click on ShowIP


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In Firefox 3, when you would right click on the IP, it would provide options 
for IP based lookups.  Now it shows the Firefox 4 Options menu (That allows you 
to enable/disable Menu Bar, Navigation/Bookmarks Toolbar,etc) 

ShowIP will not do DNS loopup if network.proxy.type == 1 && 
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns == true, which is considered a security feature 
to not leak privacy through DNS queries. Regarding this, I have a bug report 
and a feature request.

The Defect:
When the user uses a Proxy Auto-Config setup, network.proxy.type is set to 2. 
If the user also sets network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to true, ShowIP will still 
do DNS lookup locally (AFAIK). This is wrong and probably confuses the user.

The Feature Request:
More generally than the title suggests, I wonder if it's possible for ShowIP to 
lookup IP on a per-URL basis, determining which DNS resolver to query based on 
settings for the current URL.
I mean, ideally, no matter what value the proxy.type or proxy.socks_remote_dns, 
the user should always see the IP address that is _currently used_ by Firefox, 
not one of the IP addresses returned by the DNS resolver.
I'm guessing maybe there is a higher level API for lookuping IP addresses the 
way Firefox does?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Declare several lines with same web server hostname and different IP 
addresses in /etc/hosts file.
2. Restart Firefox.
3. Go to web server.

What is the expected output?
Maybe an error or a warning stating impossibility to determine web server IP 
address ?
Or maybe displaying web server hostname instead of IP ?

What do you see instead?
It seems that ShowIP shows the last IP-hostname entry of etc/hosts file.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using version 0.8.19 on windows XP Pro SP3.

Please provide any additional information below.
I know that IP shown by ShowIP is bad due to a bad configuration in etc/hosts.
Since I've lost several hours looking for what was going on, I believe that if 
ShowIP can handle this misconfiguration or at least give some hints instead of 
displaying bad information, this will be very convenient.

Step to reproduce: unknown

After I update ShowIP to version 08.06Build210, FireFox crash very often.

FireFox 2.0.0.12, Win XP sp2

I remove ShowIP and the problem disappears....

[deleted issue]

=== Steps to reproduce ===
1. Go to http://mozdev.org/
2. Click the ShowIP extension
3. Click 'copy to clipboard'
4. Open editor
5. Paste

You now see mozdev.org (which I could've copied from the URL) not the IP of
mozdev.org.

I am using FF 3.0.1 with ShowIP 0.8.08r14b0251 on OS X

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit a site
2. Mouse-over the IP displayed

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
My local IP, but I am told I am surfing with 127.0.1.1, which is clearly wrong.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest on Debian Linux

Feature request, not a bug report.

Some specialized search engines use POST requests, instead of GET requests
for queries. Being able to specify the use of POST instead of GET would
allow searching these databases.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use a dark firefox theme from stylish or the FF themes site
2. use this addon with status 4 ever add on to bring back FF4 status bar
3. I can barely see the numbers

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see the white text on black like the prev. version. instead I got 
white text on a light button color and I can't read the IP address text

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
using latest version: 1.0 on FF4 on windows server 2008 workstation

Please provide any additional information below.
before it would just display the text for the ip address on the bottom all 
nicely, now it's a button that displays light colored text. this is a pain for 
status 4 ever users that have dark themes. users should not have to change 
theme to enjoy addon. other then that I love this addon and want to enjoy it 
without extra hassles. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed ShowIP, note that the menus are working
2. Installed some other plug-ins and/or mess with 'Organise Status Bar'
3. Note that although ShowIP shows the IP, the menus don't work
4. Uninstall ShowIP
5. Restart Firefox
6. Install ShowIP
7. Restart Firefox
8. Note that although ShowIp shows the IP, the menu don't work

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Hoping to be able to restore ShowIp to working state by uninstalling and
re-installing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ShowIP of 0.8.8r14b0251
Firefox 3 beta 5 on Ubuntu Linux


Please provide any additional information below.

When you click on the ShowIP IP address, the IP address disappear and the
text 'ShowIP' displays instead. Right-clicking will often display an error
pop-up 'showip_ipmenu_11.22.33.44' no found for each IP address.
Left-clicking does nothing.

I feel the original problem was probably cause by using the 'Organise
Status Bar' extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1759
Although it could have been another extension I installed I guess.

Problem is not I can fix the problem. Uninstalling and reinstall ShowIP
doesn't eliminate the problem with the menus.

Feel free to contact me for more information or to test anything.

Aaron.
