This morning I released a new version of the Bloglines Toolkit (version 1.6.2, for those playing at home).
This fixes the problem where context menu options related to links (as opposed to pages) were not working in Firefox 1.5. The items on the context menu that reference pages appear to have been fine all along. If you didn’t notice a problem, or you don’t use the context menu at all, you would not have been affected.
Because of this, version 1.6.2 is supported in Firefox 1.5 and higher only. Users of Firefox prior to version 1.5 will need to stick with 1.6.0 (or earlier). Changing the “minVersion” will allow the new version of the Toolkit to install, but it will not work correctly on those context items that are related to links.
I’ve also added a new option to the preferences that lets you turn on a secure connection for all links generated by the Toolkit. Simply go into your preferences screen, click the checkbox, save, and immediately all of your links will being using an SSL connection.
Finally, I need translation help – I have added this new option to all locales, but it’s in English. If you helped with one of the earlier translations, please let me know how to translate this new string. And if you want to add a new translation entirely, let me know that too.

It’s worth noting both that the unread count appears to be fixed and that a new version of the Bloglines Toolkit has been released.
I’m not sure when the unread counts were updated – I never received a response back from the Bloglines folks, but it does seem to be fixed now.
This hasn’t been updated in a while, so I thought I should mention that it seems as though with the latest updates to bloglines (at least, it seems to coincide with the latest changes), the notifier constantly says that you have unread items (in my case, 42540) at all times, even when there aren’t any.
Unfortunately, I cannot help with the folks at Bloglines, as they have become very unresponsive since the acquisition by Ask.
I understand that the Notifier portion reports inaccurate results, but that is because the Bloglines Web Services is reporting inaccurate results, and they don’t seem interested in fixing it. Sorry.
As to Firefox Version 2, I’ll release an updated version when the release version ships – which as you mention, shouldn’t be long.
