The think is this the XPI that is generated can be installed only on Firefox 1.x as the format in which it is generated works only on that version. From version 2.x the format of the XPI has changed. You can try the following solution:
1. Unpack the XPI that works with Firefox 3.0.x and the newly created XPI for Firefox 3.5 2. Make sure the structure i.e. folder structure is same as that for 3.0.x XPI 3. Copy install.rdf file from 3.0.x XPI to 3.5 XPI. Open the file and change the max version to 3.5+ 4. Zip the 3.5.x folder 5. Rename it to .xpi Let me know if that works. - Angrez On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 6:59 PM, Felipe Knorr Kuhn <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Angrez, > > What are these tweaks you mentioned? > > I have successfully compiled Firefox but like you said, I can't use the > generated XPI :) > > Thanks, > > FK > > On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 4:01 AM, Angrez Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > >> You need to build Firefox with the JSSh extension enabled.
