Firefox 4 and AutoHotkey: MozillaWindowClass

By Xah Lee. Date:

Firefox 4 is released today.

If you use AutoHotkey, you'll notice that Firefox's “ahk_class” changed. It was MozillaUIWindowClass, which is also used by Mozilla Thunderbird. But now for Firefox 4 it's MozillaWindowClass.

This is a good change. Because now you can define key sets separate for Firefox and Thunderbird, without resorting to using the window's title or other tricks.

Here is my Firefox keys.
