Fellow Mozdev Project Gods and Godesses,
I asked this a while ago and didn't get any
answers. This is a serious problem for me.
The extensions/{GUID} folder is cleared out when
my extension is installed.
This only happens in Firefox 1.5.
I believe that this was done by design during the
rewrite of the
EM/xpinstall code for Firefox 1.5. The extension
installation procedure is
now staged with a fallback at each stage and
significantly more error
checking. The reason that all files in the
extensions/{GUID} directory are
deleted was that some extensions would leave behind
old files in those
directories that they shouldn't. When a newer
version of the extension was
installed, older versions of these files were picked
up causing mysterious
problems and js errors in these extensions. It was
believed that a clean
slate would eliminate these hard to diagnose
problems.
Am I just going to have to ignore the fact that i
worked hard to make my
extension's settings/data upwards compatible?
Firefox anhilates these files.
Does anyone know if it is possible that i am just
doing something wrong?
Yes, you should have put your persistent data in the
profile or
profile/chrome directory. Mnheny, Launchy, CTB and
most other extensions
that I have investigated do it this way.
Is there at least anyone else that has this
problem and is angry about it?
No. It's just you not following recommended
practices.
Thanks,
Carl Nygaard

Hi,
I remember seeing a XUL file in the Firefox
source which permitted
prompting of two arbitrary items (through
<textbox/> elements). The
text on the dialog was configurable through
openDialog()
parameters.
Now I'm trying to find that XUL and am having
a difficult time.
Anyone
know the file? I want to get rid of equivalent
code in my
extension.
Thanks,
Eric Jung
