I’ve published an update to the beta of Feed Sidebar that I talked about here: Sort Your Feeds in Feed Sidebar. In this version (3.2pre2), I’ve made the following changes:

  • Enhanced the sorting mechanisms so that updates occur more seamlessly.
  • Added some accessibility fixes, courtesy of Marco Zehe.
  • Fixed some security holes related to JavaScript injection in the preview window
  • Added a little delay to Feed Sidebar’s first feed update each browsing session to allow Firefox to start up a little more quickly.

I’d appreciate any and all feedback (send to cfinke@gmail.com) so that when I release this to the general Feed Sidebar public, I’m not inundated with e-mails saying “Why didn’t you do it this way?” You can install the new version here.
