Hi, we're hosting about 280 Firefox extensions on libx.org and are now trying to prepare for the impending update to FF3.0. I was reading Mozilla's instructions [1] and have a couple of questions about it.
This page says: "In the install.rdf of the already installed add-on updateURL must be specified in one of the following ways: * The updateURL uses https, or there is no updateURL at all (which defaults to addons.mozilla.org which is https) * The updateURL uses http and the updateKey entry is specified which will be used to verify the data in the update manifest." We are currently using an "http" updateURL and we do not have an updateKey in the files of the "already installed" install.rdf files - that is, the install.rdf that is included in the .xpi files our end users have downloaded. Does that mean we are out of luck and will be precluded from taking advantage of automatic updates to FF 3.0? It seems to me that there may be a number of projects hosted on mozdev.org that may face the same issue. Am I misreading the instructions? Is there really no way to make existing add-ons compatible so that they can be automatically updated? - Godmar [1] http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Extension_Versioning%2C_Update_and_Compatibility#Securing_Updates _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
