Firefox Extension Update
From CSLabsWiki
Summary
This page gives a short tutorial for how to update an extension to run on a newer version of Firefox. This allows extensions to be installed on newer builds.
NOTE I made a script to automate this process, use it at your own risk: Update.sh
NOTE This might break the extension!
Instructions
- Find the extension you want to update, right click and save it somewhere you'll remember (should be a .xpi file)
- Rename to a .zip and extract
- Open install.rdf with a text editor and find the XML tag <em:maxVersion> and change the text in that node to be the version you're using (i.e. 3.1b2); Save and close
- Now zip those files back up, ensuring the files are in the top level of the archive, not in a sub folder
- Rename to a .xpi and drag this on to Firefox, which will prompt you install the extension
- Follow the steps to install and you should be done!
