On the new box I can sign with a brand new test certificate ok, but when i try to use the old cert db, it complains with: signtool: PROBLEM signing data (Unknown issuer) C...
I don't know anything about XPIs but I've searched through the install.rdf, *.js, and *.xul files and found no reference to an array of flash versions, so I cannot clearly see where the version list comes from. ...
What do I need to do to avoid the "Manual Install" in Firefox for a Plugin and where do I have to go or what do I have to do to avoid the (Author not verified) message when downloading a Plugin. Ideally I would like to initiate the installation of the Plugin automatically and if I need to sign the Plugin somehow to show that it is not do...
I wrote an XPCOM component and an extension that uses it. XPCOM loads arbitrary DLL for its purposes. How can I include XPCOM and DLL into XPI package? ...
How can I install a Firefox addon via nsis installer? When I call Firefox with the .xpi extension it doesn't work and xpi extensions are not associated with Firefox either. If I drop it to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions" then it tries to install every single time a user opened the Firefox. Never deletes the original xpi ...
I'm going to develop a Firefox extension which should put a button in the loaded pages, when the tag: <input type="file" ... > is found and a file has been selected. Likewise, I think the skype toolbar does a similar thing: when a website contains a phone number, the Skype extension automatically converts it into a button that can be cl...
I'm going to develop a firefox extension which adds a button beside the file input fields (the <input type="file"> tag) when a file is selected. The file overlay.js, which contains the extension's logic, manages the "file choose" event through this method: var xpitest = { ... onFileChosen: function(e) { var fileInput = ...
How can I know the url under the mouse cursor from a firefox extension? I need to interact with the href from within the overlay.js file. I'd want a lightweight solution, for example I don't want to attach some event to all hrefs found in a page. I'd rate a mouseover solution but how can't find anything useful for me! Thanks ...
I've added this to my web.config (IIS did it for me actually): <system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension=".xpi" mimeType="application/x-xpinstall" /> </staticContent> </system.webServer> But I still just get a standard file download box. What else is there that I'm missing? ...

I can save the file to the filesystem and install it. H...
How do you create a .XPI package on a mac ...
I have a very old (1992) browser plugin for a mac that works in several different browsers. However, since Firefox restricted its plugins to XPI files in Firefox 3.6, the plugin no longer works. I haven't been able to find a useful document describing what I need to do to my plugin to make it an XPI, or at least loadable by firefox, ca...
Good afternoon everyone! As you may know, many companies that sell SSL certificates offer free trial certificates (that usually expire in 30 or 50 days). StartCom is the exception - they give 1-year free SSL Class 1 certificates. The question is: are these certificates enough for me to sign my Firefox extension? Note: I'm not asking if...
