Thanks for filing this. This should be fixed by 404c673. Do you mind testing? ( https://github.com/mozkeeler/signTextJS/blob/master/signtextjs.xpi )
I also updated the version on addons.mozilla.org, but that might take some time to be reviewed and accepted.
from signtextjs.
i've installed this new version (from github) and it works OK
from signtextjs.
signTextJS 0.7.6 broke hundreds of our customers today, those who use the Firefox-ESR (45.9.0 52.0.2 52.1.0).
jsconsole says:
SignText: using 'undefined' main.js:27
SignText: signText failed: Error: Failed to decode base64 string! main.js:27
signing dialog show info about certificate, but select with certs list is empty (no nickname).
crypto.signtext() returns "error:internalError"
as a workaround we recommended install "signTextJS plus 0.8.6" (not broken
yet)
from signtextjs.
@dab18 the description of this version is:
Version 0.7.6
Works with Firefox 53.0 and later
don't install it on 45-52
version 0.8.6 of "signTextJS plus" dosn't work on FF53 (has empty rows on certificate chooser) - expect new version soon
from signtextjs.
signTextJS automatically updated to version 0.7.6
install.rdf say em:minVersion38.0a1</em:minVersion>
from signtextjs.
Help, please! Now we have more than 1000 broken clients.
We can not instantly update all the firefox to version 53 - these are our customers and not our employees.
This is very important for our business.
PR #50 fixes the problem.
Please review it, and release 0.7.7(?) on https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/signtextjs/
as fast as possible.
from signtextjs.
I've merged the fix and put up a new version for review on amo.
However, you should be aware that when Firefox 57 is released, this add-on will no longer work (all legacy add-ons will no longer work in release versions of Firefox as of that time). Due to the nature of this add-on, it is not possible to port it to the new framework (webextensions). I have no plans to create a replacement anyway. The API this mimics was removed from Firefox nearly two and a half years ago. This was intended as a crutch users could rely on while websites migrated away from signText. The crutch is going away, and if sites don't have a replacement yet, there's nothing I can do about that.

thanx a lot!
customers who updated signTextJS to 0.7.7 works again.

after 20 years crutch like crypto.signtext()...
after 20 years crutch like http://secclab.mozdev.org/
after 20 years crutch like https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/signtextjs/
after 20 years crutch like ... "Firefox ESR" is "stable", "enterprise" "grade" "browser"... (all quoted)
that's "shameful","poor"..."несостоятельный","жопа","костыль" (sorry, "google-translate")!...webcrypto?
we need "simple","standart", "API"?
from signtextjs.
i think leave "crypto.signtext()" "as is" over 20 years, is a best way to keep "standart way" with no alternatives like poor "webcrypto" "standards".
from signtextjs.
we used "crypto.signtext()" for our customers about 20 years, from Netscape Navigator 4.X and now only way is to switch it to Interner Explorer with "certified plugin"
from signtextjs.
@dab18 this is not the right place to complain - the issue i've opened was just about FF 53 and signTextJs 0.7.5
and it is too late - it all began 3 years ago 1083118 and this year will end it - your post is a perfect Epitaph
from signtextjs.
