Subject: [Firstfield] A cheat to use FF-1.1 on Firefox 1.0 or above
Message-ID: <33985.222.15.86.11.1118247021.squirrel@222.15.86.11>
firstfield-1.1.xpi cannot be installed on Firefox 1.0 or above,
since FF-1.1 limits supporting versions of Firefox 0.9 to 0.10 .
Here is a cheat to ignore the limit.
Download firstfield-1.1.xpi and unzip it.
It contains install.rdf and chrome/ directory.
$ unzip firstfield-1.1.xpi
Archive: firstfield-1.1.xpi
inflating: install.rdf
creating: chrome/
inflating: chrome/firstfield.jar
Edit install.rdf by a text editor
and change maxVersion 0.10 to 1.0.99 .
$ diff install.rdf install.rdf.orig
23c23
< 1.0.99
---
> 0.10
Re-archive the modified resources.
$ zip -r firstfield.xpi install.rdf chrome
adding: install.rdf (deflated 52%)
adding: chrome/ (stored 0%)
adding: chrome/firstfield.jar (deflated 12%)
Now, firstfield.xpi is the modified version of firstfield-1.1.xpi .
Access firstfield.xpi by your Firefox.
Or, make a installer HTML such as:
$ cat index.html
firstfield installer
install firstfield
And access the installer HTML.
