Firesheep compatibility update: Firefox 4/Gecko2 introduced asynchronous add-on manager APIs and new XPCOM interfaces that broke Firesheep's original architecture. The project removed its custom C++ XPCOM backend, switched to using native Firefox process execution with temporary-file output, and produced a firefox5 branch that compiles on Linux but not on Windows (missing build dependencies), so no binary release is available; the BlackSheep derivative is impacted as well and the author requests a Windows-built binary.
