LiveReload not working Guard (Firefox)

Question

I'm having a fun issue, I have LiveReload working in Chrome, so I know it's installed right, but I can't for the life of me get it going on Firefox 9.0.1. I activate the icon on my site and it just stays red, with the following symptom showing in my guard terminal.

Browser connected.
Browser URL: {"command":"hello","protocols":["http://livereload.com/protocols/connection-check-1"]}
Browser disconnected.

Here's my guardfile.

guard 'livereload' do
  watch(%r{app/.+\.(erb|haml)})
  watch(%r{app/helpers/.+\.rb})
  watch(%r{(public/|app/assets).+\.(css|js|html)})
  watch(%r{(app/assets/.+\.css)\.s[ac]ss}) { |m| m[1] }
  watch(%r{(app/assets/.+\.js)\.coffee}) { |m| m[1] }
  watch(%r{config/locales/.+\.yml})
end

I did some research on the subject and all I can find are people reporting issues and then reporting back that it just cleared up, without any explanation from the developers. Fun!

Answer 1

Latest Firefox seems to be unable to inject chrome:// urls into the host page unlees the corresponding resource has additional "contentaccesible" manifest attribute.

I've added that and submitted a pull request: https://github.com/livereload/livereload-extensions/pull/8

You can grab the fixed plugin package here: https://github.com/downloads/siasia/livereload-extensions/LiveReload-2.0.9.xpi

Answer 2

I'm in the same boat. Have you tried using the non-browswer extension method:

...also, you can use the following gem to automatically inject the script in your test environment:
