Post extensions that work with Deer Park/Firefox 1.5 HERE

Does anyone have a version of the Stop/Reload button that will work on Deer Park? Bumping the max version doesn't work on it. Has something to do with the GUID and I can't figure it out.

This Stop-or-Reload Button works fine and only needs a bumped maxVersion I suppose.

You could also give the Stop/Reload extension a new GUID.

Replace <r:Description about="urn:mozilla:install-manifest">
<id>stopreload</id>

by

<r:Description about="urn:mozilla:install-manifest">
<id>{1dcb4a33-ea62-4330-966c-7bdad3455322}</id>

Edit: typo

Thanks, Ria. I will try that when I get home.

This Window 0.1 works for me with maxVersion => 1.1+

ForecastFox 0.7.9.2 works with Deer Park Alpha Builds... Is there a reason to host the hack anymore?

Some people may like the previous icons more

*shrugs* I like the fact it's about 200 kbs smaller. Lol.

I got the modified version of Stop/Reload to install, but it doesn't work. The button shows up but does not change to a stop button when it should. Oh well.

Just tried to modify ReloadEvery by just bumping MaxVersion. I get an error saying the install script can't be found. Any clues or is it broken broken?

Do you mean the Stop-or-Reload button? You can only install one of the two extensions. It works well with all themes. You only need to bump the maxVersion. If it installs, but doesn't work, then try a cleanup of your profile (only if you don't use Firefox 1.0.4 anymore). Delete everything in your profile except:

# bookmarks.html
# user.js
# prefs.js
# cookies.txt
# history.dat
# hostperm.1
# signons.txt
# key3.db
# folder chrome
# folder extensions

Firefox will re-register the extensions on startup. Probably you need to restart Firefox multiple times.

I finally got it working last night late and forgot to post back. Thanks for your help.

How does one repackage extensions with valid GUIDs? I can get around the versioning problems by editing about:config, but some extensions refuse to install because the GUIDs are screwy...

The GUIDs must all be a bit different. Changing a few digits will do.
When you change digits, only use these ones: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f.

But you seem to be running 1.0.4, not Deer Park.
