Forum OpenACS Development: tclwebtest recorder and firefox 3.0.x

1: tclwebtest recorder and firefox 3.0.x

Posted by Dave Bauer on 08/25/08 10:18 PM

I have tested tclwebtest recorder http://www.km.co.at/km/twtr
under firefox 3. It works ok. I had to modify the install.rdf file to make the max version 3.0.*. After that the install was allowed if I disabled extensions security check.

To disable extension security check in firefox 3.0.x

1) Open a new tab or window. Type about:config in the location bar. Click I'll be careful if the warning message appears.
2) right click and choose New->Boolean.
3) Type extensions.CheckUpdateSecurity
4) Click OK
5) Choose False, click OK.

You can now install the tclwebtest recorder.

Notes: Is it possible to support update security so this is not required? Can the xpi be updated for Firefox 3? Also can the mime type on the download be set correctly for XPI file types so Firefox will recognize the file? I had to save it and then open the xpi in firefox with File->Open.
If I can help in any way let me know.

Thanks!

Thanks for the hints Dave.

I have updated TwtR, and it should now work with Firefox 3. TwtR can now also be found at the Firefox Add-on site, and installing from here will solve the problem with the extension security check. (You have to register due to the sandboxing system for new add ons.)
