Update.rdf for Firefox 3
Hi, I'm trying to update my extension for Firefox 3, and I'm trying to
release an xpi JUST for Firefox 3 (and keep FF2 users on the current
version, because I haven't figured out a compatible way to get both to
work comfortably, then proceed to release a "unified" version again
once I find a way).
However, I'm having issues getting Firefox 3 to find the update. My
update.rdf file is here:
https://www.getfarky.com/update/update.rdf.full (normally named
update.rdf)
and a test version, simplified with only 1.1.10 (the version I'm
trying to release):
https://www.getfarky.com/update/update.rdf
If I set the minVersion of 1.1.10 to 3.0, Firefox 2 obviously doesn't
find an update. But neither does Firefox 3. If (just to test things) I
set the minVersion to 2.0, Firefox 2 will find the update but Firefox
3 will not even though it SHOULD.
Why isn't Firefox 3 seeing any update, no matter what minVersion is
set to?
My SSL cert is fine and the update feature worked once (1.1.8 ->
1.1.9). I don't understand what's happening.
Thanks,
Grant Harding

The files I see are different to what you describe, perhaps you have
changed them since posting?

A minVersion of 3.0 would not let the currently nightly builds of
Firefox 3 see it, because they aren't Firefox 3 yet they are less than that.

Enable extensions.logging.enabled, check for updates for your extension
only then check the error console.
