Well I'll fiddle around more with adding a new option to do an XPI file that complies with the current way of seeing an XPI as signed. I'm not so sure the "bug" should be totally fixed. People are still gonna need to have XPI's signed this way for anyone using previous Netscapes or Mozillas. I was talking with a co-worker the other day about trying to get him to move off of Netscape 7.1 to Mozilla 1.7 or FireFox and he refuses to do it. I cant really show him either, he's in California and I'm in Wisconsin. Even though I keep telling him NS and Mozilla and nearly the damn same thing, just with different names and icons. He wont listen and thats the problem. He's also a big stickler on only installing trusted applications and wont download any extensions that aren't signed. It's been a problem with my main job too. We help photographers sell their photographs and we deal with the biggest publishing names in the business. Most of the PhotoBuyers we deal with have a Tech Depart
ment that wont let them install our Toolbar cause it was unsigned. Most of them are on MacOSX, NS 7.1 and wont be upgrading till it's approved and then maybe never.(hell we are still running a few pentium 1's and win98 on some machines here... its all about money) I'm just glad they are to that. It was horrible trying to support them when they had MacOS 8, NS 4.5 and were trying to use our site. Thank god our NS 4.5 traffic is down to roughly 200 hits a month.

Thats kinda what I'm working towards. Eventually I want to take my testing and split it off into a seperate option instead of making every jar file made by signtool in that format. Right now I'm stuck on getting NSS to compile on windows. I got to the point last night where I was ready to put my hand through my monitor.... Last errors I got were failed compile of the utf8.c

It's been one thing after another. I've read tons of posts on mozillazine.org on getting Firebird/Mozilla/Thunderbird to compile on Windows only using free tools. A bunch have been able to do it and I have found many answers to problems that I did have but now I'm stuck for the moment. I've spent the last two days nearly straight working on this. Didn't really do any work yesterday, kinda been getting obsessed over this.
I did some looking in the XPI install code and got lost...
