I just checked it on my machine with W2K and FF 2.0.0.2. I got an error message, saying that the plug-in was only compatible with FF 1.5-2.0. What can I do about this?

Cheers,
F.

I have no idea why it doesn't use the compatibility information it received from the updateURL, but you could disable compatibility checking by adding extensions.checkCompatibility to about:config.

Once again: today with the latest update for FF 2.0.0.3 (on my machine at work with English Windows XP) I got the message, that searchtype B would be deactivated because of incompatibility.

Could you please check that, Dorando?

Thanks a lot,
Felix

Compatibility information had been updated yesterday, seemingly after you post, so you likely need to 'Find Updates'. As before you might want to add a boolean extensions.checkCompatibility to about:config.

Thanks a lot,

the extension seems to be working fine again.

Sorry, I don't get this. What do you mean here?

Load <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=about:config&oldid=26276">about:config</a>, right-click on the list, and select New > Boolean.

Once again the extension gets disabled during update to FF 2.0.0.5. I don't want to disable update check in general.

Compatibility information has been updated, you likely need to click on Tools > Add-ons > Find Updates (ignore the incorrect message at the top).

You could disable compatibility checking temporarily as the application only checks at upgrade and installation.

Thanks a lot for the quick reaction! The 2nd update on another PC at night went fine!

Once again with the next update FF 2.0.0.6 the add-on is not compatible. Wouldn't it be possible to set up a switch so that it fits with all future versions of FF 2.0? All my other add-ons don't have that problem. How come?

Other extensions claim support with unreleased version which I feel is wrong (as previously stated in the <a href="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2206294#2206294">undoclosetab thread</a>). If you don't care about the forced compatibility checking, simply disable it...

Once again SearchTypeB would have to be adjusted to latest release Firefox 2.0.0.7.

Thank you,
Felix
