Hi the firefox extension (0.91) does work with 3.0x. All you have to do is
a) rename the extension: xpi to xpi.zip
b) edit the install.rdf inside the zip and change 'em:maxVersion=' to <3.*>
c) delete the .zip ending
d) install

At least it works in 2.1 community…

Cool.
Where did you find this out? Is it documented anywhere?

I don't know. I've just looked into the xpi and saw that it was a zip file. The rdf is pretty much self-explanatory.

cheers,
it works for me now, thanks!

The existing file had "2.9+" in it as the "max version" - is that the wrong syntax?
Cos as a human, "3.0" is indeed part of the set of "2.9+" to me!

It's all a bit moot for me anyways as CIFS is broken on my installation :roll:
