Hi,
I've just published my first firefox extension hosted by mozdev and am
unsure about the best practice for providing automatic updates.
I originally posted my extension on mozdev, complete with an updateURL
line in my install.rdf pointing to a custom update file on my mozdev site.
Since then, I've also published the extension using mozilla addons where
i had to remove the updateURL line in order to get addons to publish it
for me.
Should I continue publishing a mozdev and mozilla addons copy of each
version of my extension or stop using the file hosting service provided
by mozdev, relying on the automatic update feature of mozilla addons
instead?
One of my extensions is pretty niche, so I just have it on mozdev.
The other probably has fractionally more appeal, so I have it jointly on
mozdev and addons. (Well, actually, I never asked for it to be on
addons, but someone else obviously did, so I keep it there.) The mozdev
version gets more frequent updates - I only bother updating addons after
a mozdev version has been around for a while without problems being
reported.
