The Firefox extension for DYMO SDK has been updated to support Firefox 17. The extension is available here. The FAQ article is here.
Please note that the Firefox extension is deprecated. No new development will be done for the extension. For new projects please use the Javascript library from the DYMO Label Framework. We encourage developers to switch to the new API even for current projects. Here are some benefits the new DYMO Label Framework API provides in comparison to the extension:
- DYMO Label Framework API provides a cross-browser and cross-platform pure Javascript API. The same API supports all major browsers on Windows and Mac. The Firefox extension API can be used only in Firefox on Windows.
- All necessary Framework installation is done by the DYMO Label software installer. By contrast the Firefox extension must be downloaded by customers separately and installed manually.
- DYMO Label Framework supports and will support all the DYMO printers. New printers will not be supported by the extension.
The auto-update functionality isn’t included in this version. We will add it later.
This didn’t work for me when I downloaded both the new SDK extension and the new version of Firefox (17.0). Whenever I try to print, I receive this notification: TypeError: netscape.security.PrivilegeManager is undefined.
I don’t experience any problems on Windows XP SP3 and Window 7. Please disable all other Add-ons/Extensions and try again. Is your script working with Firefox 16?
If it is still not working then please forward your issue with some sample code to DYMO according to the SDK Troubleshooting Tips post which can be found here http://developers.dymo.com/2011/10/12/sdk-troubleshooting-tips/
