Hi Shriphani: When making a firefox extension, it is a good idea to have a 'application.ini' file in the home directory of your xul app. You can have a application.ini file in firefox_extn/ dir The application.ini is an important file, since it has a section titled [Gecko] which specifies the Gecko versions with which this xul application is expected to work with. There are other sections as well. Here is a sample, 'application.ini' that i am currently using. [App] Vendor=TWINCLING Society, Hyderabad AP, India Name=Test App Version=1.0 BuildID=20071016 Copyright=Copyright (C) 2005,2006,2007 TWINCLING Society, Hyderabad AP [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Gecko] MinVersion=1.8 MaxVersion=1.9 Note, the [Gecko] section above. This xul app of mine will work with min 1.8 and max 1.9 This is important since various users may have different versions of firefox. thanks Saifi.
