Ferdinand,
If I recall correctly how to do this... First, close Firefox. Go
into your Firefox user directory and find the Extensions directory. In
here, there's an Extensions.rdf file, it's XML. Find the chunk that
refers to Forrest. Mine looks like this:
<RDF:Description
RDF:about="urn:mozilla:extension:{057e51a0-7e81-4749-ad58-d5e
32a6084a9}"
em:version="0.7"
em:name="ForrestBar"
em:description="Forrest-related sites nav tool"
em:creator="Apache Forrest Community"
em:homepageURL="http://www.forrest.apache.org/";
em:disabled="true">
<em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$hg4WQ3"/>
<em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$ig4WQ3"/>
<em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$jg4WQ3"/>
</RDF:Description>
Take note of that UUID in the top RDF tag. Remove this chunk from the
file and save it.
Now remove the directory that is the UUID. Eg:
{057e51a0-7e81-4749-ad58-d5e32a6084a9}. Restart Firefox.
Your mileage may vary but it shouldn't...

The packaged 0.7 xpi that I attached to the JIRA issue worked. I have
it installed on my 1.5.0.1 right now. I don't know where it went in the
midst of all this but it was not as simple as changing the rdf file to
the higher version number to get it working properly. I actually copied
over the 0.8 files and removed the 0.8 stuff from it to get it working.
I can't remember the details on removing a foobared extensions because
it has been a long time since I had to, but there should be info at the
Mozilla forums.

Just updated svn and tried to installed the xpi but after starting the

FB 0.8 works just fine. Any ideas?
Update: Seems like version 0.7 and 0.8 have some serious conflict:
After uninstalling version 0.8 I now have a forrestbar
(probably version 0.7) that does not show in the extensions list and
is otherwise pretty useless. And worse, the toolbar cannot be
disabled or uninstalled unless sbdy knows how to trick FF into
uninstalling something that is not in the extension list.
