No more development on Slimerjs

[laurentj]

Hi all,

Mozilla has removed support of XUL extensions into Firefox few years ago. It means that many of some internal API of Firefox were no more stable. So they have been changed or deleted, replaced etc... MarkR2 explained well the situation in his comment.

So it became more an more difficult to maintain Slimerjs, and probably impossible to update the Slimerjs code for the latest Firefox. And I don't have time anymore to work on Slimerjs.

Consider Slimerjs as a dead project.

Of course, SlimerJS 1.0 is still working with Firefox 59 (that you can download from here), but, obviously, it won't work very well with web sites that are using latest Web Standards that are not supported by Firefox 59.

Thank you very much to all contributors and users.

Hi @laurentj, good day to you. Thank you for your great work and contribution to the open-source community!

I've emailed you from my @tebel.org email and wanted to send a notification to you so that you know that the email is from me. I'm Ken who created the TagUI open-source RPA tool. It relies on CasperJS framework to leverage on PhantomJS JavaScript engine as the execution engine and SlimerJS for automating Firefox v59.
