 Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2006 10:21 am Post subject: You can use MAF with Firefox 2 - here's how |
 |
|
maf-0.6.3 can be made to work with FF2.0.
Rename maf-0.6.3.xpi as zip file ie maf-0.6.3.zip.
Extract install.rdf
Edit (with a text editor) to change max version references from 1.5 to 2.5
and 1.8 to 2.8.
save changes and replace in original maf-0.6.3.zip
rename back to maf-0.6.3.xpi
open new maf-0.6.3.xpi with ff2 (file >0pen, etc)
install!
restart ff2.
If you find that you get a script error. Use Free Commander ( search google or prefix three ws and add dot com)
to open the renamed xpi>zip file and copy the install rdf to another directory to work on (use the inbuilt text editor) and copy back - selecting "update".
This preserves the install script and works! |

This work around doesn't work for me. I still get the same message
Mozilla Archive Format could not be installed, because it is not compatible with Firefox 2.0.
Mozilla Archive Format 0.6.3 will only work with Firefox 1.5
Please make this extension compatible with Firefox 2.0. Thanks. |

The easiest way to create compatibility is to install MR Tech Local Install. It automates making extensions compatible.

The workaround worked okay for me!
Indeed you only need to change this line in the file install.rdf
from
--------------------------------------------------------
<!-- Firefox -->
<em:targetApplication>
...
<em:minVersion>1.5</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>1.6</em:maxVersion>
...
</em:targetApplication>
--------------------------------------------------------
to
--------------------------------------------------------
<!-- Firefox -->
<em:targetApplication>
...
<em:minVersion>1.5</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>3.0</em:maxVersion>
...
</em:targetApplication>
--------------------------------------------------------
I used 7-zip to zip and unzip the xpi file.

| I used the workaround suggested by J Tom Moon above with WinZip 9; worked perfectly. |

Installation worked fine in Mac OS X using the zip command with Terminal.app (may not work using BOMArchiveHelper via Finder's open and "Create Archive"). However, upon using I get Archive operation failed with code:1. This is the same issue as seen on Linux (www . createforum . com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3&mforum=maf). I'm not sure if there's any fix for 0.6.3.
(P.S. can't post URLs as a guest, so you'll have to remove the spaces in www . createforum . com to use the link, or just search this forum for it) |

Didn't have to do anything special with other shareware. Just extracted, edited, repackaged.

This error message indicates use of the Windows build which requires a Win32 exe to work. Previous builds used versions of zip.exe, if I remember correctly.
