- locallink-0.5.xpi: Version 0.5 adds french localisation (fr) and is otherwise identical with 0.4. It is compatible with Firefox up to version 6.*.
- locallink-0.4.xpi:
Version 0.4 adds compatibility with Firefox 3.0, 3.5 and 3.6. This is also compatible with Firefox 2.0.
Notes: No Thunderbird version included; localisation scheme changed away from the universal scheme to the more robust standard scheme (en-US, en-GB and de-DE provided; I'd be happy to integrate more). - locallink-0.3.xpi: Version 0.3 adds compatibility with Firefox 1.5 and Thunderbird 1.5. This is compatible with Firefox 2.0. Please redownload (here or from addons) or up the maxVersion yourself.
- locallink-0.2.xpi:
Version 0.2 adds submenus for opening in new tab/new window/etc.
Works with Firefox (tested with 1.0PR, should work with 0.8+ through 1.0) and Thunderbird (tested with 0.8, should work with 0.7 through 0.8+).
When updating from 0.1, I suggest you remove the old extension first. - locallink-0.1.xpi: Version 0.1 is bare bones. No preferences, no fancy dialogues. Works only with Firefox (tested with 1.0PR, should work with 0.8+ through 1.0).
Protocol handlers
If you want to pass links from Thunderbird to an external browser using LocalLink, handlers for the appropriate protocols have to be set up. For local links the protocol is file.
You set up the handlers in the same way in which you make Thunderbird open links in Firefox.
Localisation
From version 0.2 on, LocalLink uses "universal localisation": it takes all labels from the main application, so that they are localized whenever you have a language pack for the latter.
