getting mediabar to understand tabs

I've been working on getting the Mediabar to be tab-friendly over the last few days. Currently Mediabar re-discovers all the media on a page every time a user goes to a new url (by clicking or entering something new in the location bar) and when the user switches tabs. That's the behavior that I'm working on fixing.

In order to fix it, I'm doing a minor redesign of how Mediabar works internally. I've been hanging out on #xul and #extdev on irc.mozilla.org and picking up interesting tidbits of information.

After I fix this issue, there are a bunch of minor issues to fix and then I think it'll be golden. I think it's going to take another few days at least--probably more on the order of another week.

Three things:

  1. New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Sometimes that happens within 24 hours.
  2. I reserve the right to reject/remove inappropriate comments.
  3. Sometimes I'll reply to a comment directly in email--so make sure your email address is correct.

If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
