hello peeps, i notice programs such as many ff extensions and ggl gears, tend to fall out of synch with firefox updates. On the mozilla extension developer's extension, in the forum i found an answer from 'roachfiend', to a similar query about a similar problem, wondering if it applies to this topic, here is a quote from the article in XUL forum:
" Target application is what you’re gearing this for. The ec8030f7… is unique to Firefox, so leave that alone. The minversion and maxversion is what versions of Firefox it will be compatible with. There was a big stink about this recently, since the developers introduced 0.9.1, shortly after telling us to make sure and only put a maxVersion of 0.9. This does not compute. So I recently modified mine to go to 9.9, which will ensure compatibility through the next few versions of Firefox. This isn’t the type of thing that mozilla will support, since they can only recommend keeping the maxVersion to the current release, but it’s the best way to keep you sane, so you don’t have to update your extensions every few weeeks."
