How did you manage ForecastFox 0.78 to work? I bumped the maxversion to 1.1, but I can't get any of the icons to show. The hacked version (0.71) WFM though.


Ria gave me this..
after Editing the install,.rdf to say max.version 1.1+

Go to your Profile Directoy and delete everything excepting the following

DO NOT DELETE THESE
bookmarks.html
user.js
prefs.js
cookies.txt
history
hostperm.1
signons.txt
key3
local store.rdf
chrome directory
extensions directory
ForecastFOX directory
DO NOT DELETE THESE

Then do a restart of Ff a couple times, as the first time it will look plain vanila, then after a try or two it will come up. Only took me two times.

Still no dice, Firefox leaves a small space in the bar where Forecastfox should be but doesn't load anything. I may just blast my profile and try it again.

MajereDB8 - when you install Forecastfox in 1.0.4 it will also show up in 1.0+.

Sharebird - there are some NC_NS and WEB_NS in the extension. Sorting bookmarks works with and without the Sort Bookmarks extension however.

illegalien - the Compact Menu version in the trunk list WFM: FFnightlyextensions

As stated here, TBE seems to work: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 28#1498828
Have you "cleaned" your profile? Delete everything except:

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

Firefox will re-register the extensions on startup.

today I tried modified Adblock (adblock-0.5-dev-mod.xpi) and Launchy 4.0.0 (brand new) on Deer Park 20050528, new profile. Both unable to install via any conventional method (extensions manager window or opening from File menu). No reaction from the browser, it was like nothing happened (no messages at all). tried modifying install.rdf, bumping up app.extension.version. Still not working.

Finally, I managed to install them by copying the xpis in the extensions folder. You may consider it a last resort if anything else fails.

Did you check "Allow web sites to install software"???

Good catch, thanks. Indeed I had it disabled, it may explains the difference with previous days builds. One thing I don't get at all : the extensions I tried to install were stored locally, so why they were treated as web sites? This seems like a bug.

Normally you should see the yellow notifier bar, but I don't see it. Only with a new profile, but for some reason not in my daily one :?

Yep, that's not logical.

CompactMenu that was already enhanced for 1.0+ (at the link given in the first post) doesn't work with the latest nightly.

Linkification 0.920 http://www.beggarchooser.com/firefox/ doesn't work as well now (worked a week ago)

Edit: Both only need max version edited to work.
