Sometimes, can't enter insert mode by 'gi' about vimperator-labs

@zzt93 If you are on Firefox 33, then download the latest source code and make xpi from it, I thought this problem has been fixed recently.

I just upgraded to firefox 33 and had this issue. When can we have an update? Thanks!!

As for getting to a textbox, I'll use the 'f' key to find it until then.

@bkalbfus Thank you for your smart way.

Just download the lateset source, and enter to the folder then "make xpi", and drag the xpi to firefox, then restart the firefox, thig bug is fixed.

I use Cygwin environment to build vimperator.
However, I have made an unofficially site to distribute Vimperator nightly.
http://vimperator.mine02c4.nagoya/
When the stable version is updated, it is recommended that you uninstall the nightly and return to the stable version.

Thanks Mine02C4 for that site, to save us the headache of building ourselves. Fixed the issue for me.

I also made a prerelease available: https://github.com/vimperator/vimperator-labs/releases/tag/3.8.3-a2

[svermeulen]

This might be a known issue but just in case it isn't I thought I'd mention this:
The prerelease versions here work great in terms of solving the 'gi' issue however they seem to break 'F' (open link in background tab). When I select a link hint using 'F' nothing happens, and reverting back to the public version fixes 'F'.

Cool. gi problem has been fixed in 3.8.3-a2. Thanks!

[svermeulen]

Great, thanks. Anywhere I can find that build or should I build it myself?

[gkatsev]

There is the alpha build available in releases. I posted a link in my previous comment.
