TwitterBar

Widgets Search Less Talk, More Do Christopher Finke writes about things he has done. TwitterBar 233 Comments TwitterBar for Firefox was sold to HootSuite and renamed HootBar in March of 2011. TwitterBar for Chrome was discontinued in October of 2012. TwitterBar was an extension for the Mozilla Firefox Web browser (originally written by Tony Farndon) that allowed you to post to Twitter from the
 Firefox address bar. 233 thoughts on “TwitterBar” Dave says: hey; thanks for the great extension; very useful. Just for info: I had trouble using this at work; I ran wireshark and found the problem was that the proxy was rejecting the packet because there was no content length set. I fixed it by opening the xpi file and changing the following code from: req.onreadystatechange = getTwitterResponse;
req.open(“POST”,”http://”+username+”:”+password+”@twitter.com:80/statuses/update.xml?status=”+status, true); req.send(null) to: req.onreadystatechange = getTwitterResponse; req.open(“POST”,”http://”+username+”:”+password+”@twitter.com:80/statuses/update.xml?status=”+status, true); req.setRequestHeader(“Content-length”, “0”); req.send(null) this seems to work fine. You might have a better way of fixing this; I just thought I’d let you know what worked for me Thanks again May 16, 2008 at 8:17 am Reply Dan says: Nice extension. I’m new to Twitter, and was thinking “this really needs a FF extension to allow me to send a tweet without going to the Twitter webpage”; and voila! One curiosity: For some reason, the character countdown decrements by 20 extra characters when there is a URL in the URL bar. As soon as I type the second ‘/’ in ‘http://’, the char count drops from 134 to 113. I am no programmer, but when
 I looked in the source, I saw that ‘count’ is calculated two different ways, so
 I assume this is intentional; is it something required for sending URLs to Twitter? Anyway, great job and thanks for the extension. May 25, 2008 at 11:36 am Reply Christopher Finke says: Dan: the issue you’re seeing is because TwitterBar inserts “Current Browsing:” in front of any URLs you send to Twitter. This accounts for the 20 character change. Note: You can change the “Currently Browsing:” text by changing the value of “extensions.twitter.web” in about:config.

times, I cant find the problem :( June 3, 2008 at 8:23 pm Reply Stefan says: Hey, very sweet! Ich hoffe, dass ich nun öfter Zwitschern werde…. Thanks for this very useful plugin! Stefan June 13, 2008 at 3:22 am Reply Stuart says: For some reason my address bar height has now changed by about 10px in height, even the favicon is stretched. When I disable twitterbar it comes good again. Any thoughts as to why the look of my address bar might have changed? Regards.

It’s providing me with imaginative mental pictures! Just kidding of course! July 8, 2008 at 11:42 am Reply Christopher Hitchcott says: Hey, just wondering if there is a shortcut to post to twitter, rather than having to click the icon? Perhaps you could add an option to customise this in later versions; it’d be nice to just be able to [alt-return]. July 24, 2008 at 4:43 am Reply Susan says: HI, I’m trying to install the twitter bar extension on the Flock Browser and it’s not working. I know that it does work with this extension as many people who are doing the 30 Day Challenge with Ed Dale are using it. Any suggestions? Thanks, Susan August 1, 2008 at
 11:26 pm Reply WWWWolf says: This looks like a handy extension. Any chance that you would support specifying the website API root in the future? This would make the bar work for any laconi.ca based server (such as identi.ca), which are compatible with Twitter API. For example, for identi.ca, posting is as simple as changing [http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml] to [http://identi.ca/api/statuses/update.xml].

But a thought, is it possible, when posting only a url, to change the “Currently reading: ” part with the title of the page you’re posting? September 5, 2008 at 2:14 am Reply Kristen says: I love this add-on, but uninstalled it when I upgraded to FF 3.0.1.
When I tried to reinstall it, it now says that it’s not compatible with FF3. But I want it!

Any idea if it has a conflict with some other extension? November 8, 2008 at 3:17 pm Reply Jono Martin says: I love this add-on. The only thing I don’t like is that it somehow interferes with the Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures add-on. When TwitterBar is enabled, the Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures add-on doesn’t work. Any thoughts on that? Thanks again for a great add-on for us Twitter users. Jono Martin November 10, 2008 at 10:30 am Reply Anonymous says: Great app. Two suggestions: 1. A record/pause setting which tweets address bar on every change. 2. Tweet search bar contents for when a search is started from the search bar. Thanks. November 11, 2008 at 4:28 pm Reply Vick says:

I am new to Twitter, but TwitterBar is really THE thing, for me. Also, like Vick, I would love to know, how to access “Post to Twitter” icon from keyboard. If it’s not avaible now, maybe, Christopher, you should consider putting it in a new version. November 24, 2008 at 2:23 am Reply Spacebom says: Hello. Thanks for the plugin it’s very useful.

I just installed the new version, and I see that you have migrated from tinyurl to is.gd. Fine. But seeing that change made me wonder: can you hook up bit.ly instead? bit.ly lets you track the clicks on your links, which is definitely worth something to me. Thanks and keep up the good work. – Mike March 27, 2009 at 5:20 pm Reply Todd says: I’m having a the authorization problem too. It continually asks me to reauthorize twitterbar to use my account.

April 9, 2009 at 12:34 pm Reply Christopher Finke says: The “Invalid / expired Token” error was due to a combination of a bug in TwitterBar and an API change that Twitter made. You can download an update to TwitterBar that fixes the bug at http://is.gd/rIsP or you can wait for Mozilla to approve the update and have Firefox download it automatically, although this may take a couple of days.

I had some issues with authentication after recent extension upgrades. It was complaining about invalid oauth token. Resetting the authentication from the preferences didn’t help (despite the oauth roundtrip it triggers) however the following did fix things for me: 1 go to about:config 2 type twitter in the search field 3 note that the twitter bar oauth token setting is NOT set, despite several oauth roundtrips to twitter 4 right click and reset all the twitterbar entries (empties them I assume) 5 restart browser, it will ask to authenticate and this time actually stores the token Done!
 A second minor bug: the spinning icon spins forever after failed authentication even though it is no longer waiting for a response from the server.

For example, I’m visiting this site http://www.chrisfinke.com/addons/twitterbar/ and I press the button, then it posts on twitter as: I’m checking out :
Twitterbar ( http://www.chrisfinke.com/addons/twitterbar/ ) ( ) May 30, 2009 at 6:42 pm Reply Dan says: Love the app. Having a couple issues though. On my wife’s computer, it continually says it can’t do the oauth thing. I have tried some of the tricks I have read around here, but to no avail. It worked fine on my computer. Incidentally, we are both using the latest macs with the latest OS, for what it’s worth. Second, when the window pops up asking if I want the social search thing, I hit cancel, thinking that this is referring to the magenta colored box in my url bar. If it is, I don’t need that and don’t want any more things in that bar than is necessary. But regardless, it still shows up. Thoughts? So, until I can get those two things settled, I am back to version 1. I preferred the simple dot idea too – doesn’t have to be a grey dot or anything, but I would like something more generic. And for those who think this app is too simple, that’s exactly why I love it so much. I don’t want to open up two or more apps to tweet. Oh ya, I would also prefer a tiny url creator with stats, as others have mentioned. Keep it up! Great add on. June 3, 2009 at 1:00 am Reply kelvin says: cool stuff though, BIG UPS!!!

TwitterBar is now my primary way to post quick notes or Web pages. I’m a bit disappointed that you moved from is.gd to .tk (Tweak) for URL shortening. I realize you’re saving ~3 characters, but I’ve been using is.gd for a very long time and prefer it over all the other shortening services. Perhaps in a future release, you’d consider making this a configurable option? June 12, 2009 at 2:24 pm Reply Wisdoom says: Hi, I don’t know if what I’m going to say is doable, but I had and idea you may like. When you click the ‘Post to twitter’ button, instead of a confirmation, could you put a space to write, so you can personalise each tweet?? Just an idea ;) June 12, 2009 at 3:50 pm Reply
 Craig says: Yeah – I am after something like Wisdoom too. Like, when you post is there a variable that could be used for the (shruken) URL. e.g. “Reading and interest post about the excellent TwitterBar.. %%” When %% would be swapped out with the URL. Often the page title ($$) is not that great a summary of the page content. June 21, 2009 at 8:20 pm Reply Craig says: Just to answer my own question posted above, and perhaps yours @wisdoom All you have to do to post a URL (shortened) with a personal message is type your message in front of the URL, leaving the URL in place. Click post and on twitter you will see: “My personal message http://12345.tk“ June 22, 2009 at 11:36 pm Reply Robert Wictorzon says: Great plugin!
 I just want to know why you changed the short url handler? Those %¤#&@.tk takes forever to load, if they load at all.

 Thanks for the addon , but i think if it’s to add the current page title on the default tweet,it’s better. July 8, 2009 at 12:53 am Reply Tina says: My twitterbar is not working. (re-installed, no help) It says I wonder if this is because I changed the firefox address bar search default setting last week… (running with windows XP and FF 3.5) any advice? thanks in advance. July 9, 2009 at 3:44 am Reply Ankit Aggarwal says: Great extension. Must say.I was not posting on twitter just because it was too much to post a tweet especially when you are on slow connection. But after getting this extension all my tweets are from TwitterBar. Lot more add-ons are released to post directly from firefox, but this one is my fav. till date.

Running on vista. Thanks! July 20, 2009 at 7:04 pm Reply M) says: Great handy tool. Thanks so much. FYI, I hid the icon in th
e address bar and then brought it back and now it sits on the left of the address. :/ Fix this if you can. I have two ideas to share as well. Consider showing the icon only when typing in the address bar. Also, as mentioned in an earlier post, consider creating a shortcut key instead of –post. Like ALT enter. My fingers are twitching to have this.

Reply Helen Hunt says: Thanks for this lovely addon. I currently use twitterfox which sits on the status bar, and think it’s a good idea to try yours and see how they compare. Thanks again for sharing :) July 27, 2009 at 3:58 am Reply Larry says: Let me just say that I love this add-on. It has become the de facto manner by which I bookmark interesting web sites. One small annoyance though…whenever I post to Twitter, usually by clicking the address bar (+) icon, a new Firefox tab automatically opens up to show me the tweet at my Twitter home page. Is there a way to suppress this from happening? All I really want to do most of the time is tweet away and not get distracted/interrupted.

I have firefox 3.5.2 and initially thought that the addon could not be found. It is in the address bar. You’ll see the blue twitter icon, just click that and you would be required to authorize postings to you twitter account- just once.
Then write your tweet and click the tweeter icon and you are done. Thanks Chris for an awesome tool! August 11, 2009 at 8:33 pm Reply CT says: Hi everyone, Great add-on…but a question… I use this add-on to publish both on Twitter& Facebook.

 One can click on the twitter icon to post the url which results in a ‘currently browsing’ text followed by the link on Twitter or write a tweet from the Firefox adress bar without the url of the webpage, but is it possible to combine both in the current version of Twitterbar? Being able to write a header or subject line that inserts the webpage? September 20, 2009 at 5:26 pm Reply Dean Cruddace says: I agree with Bob (#230) it would be nice to extract the title of the page being browsed to accompany the link. Is this already available through about:config? September 21, 2009 at 8:18 am Reply John Kent says: I fully agree with Dean September 29, 2009 at 7:17 am Reply Nico Coer says: Hey! I LOVE this Add-On an insane amount, it has really h
elped with my productivity (don’t have to bring up a new window to tweet a new resource). I’m wondering if you have plans to make one for Google Chrome?

If I try a really long tweet which is beyond 160 char (or some) limit then bar does not complain that twitter has refused and you even looses the tweet from the address bar. now there is no way to get what you were writing and it was saved nowhere.
