User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1 Build ID: 20120713224749 Steps to reproduce: 1) Go to about:addons 2) Install ChatZilla 3) You need to restart Firefox (with new SDK there is no need to restart. For example Firebug uses this) 1) Go to about:addons 2) Disable ChatZilla 3) You need to restart Firefox in order to completely disable ChatZilla Actual results: See above Expected results: No restart, just working after installing. I think this is not difficult.
This is not a trivial change, and using the SDK is almost certainly too much effort.

This hacked-up patch turns ChatZilla into a restartless extension (without using the SDK). It implements the menu item, but not yet the irc: protocol or toolbar button.
Great to see this :) Maybe this can be integrated with the next ChatZilla release (maybe in the coming months a release can be planned)?
