Firefox compatability

[Squiglee]

I dropped Netflix for a variety of reasons (pricing on Blu-ray for example) and have my first disc by mail from Blockbuster. So far so good.

I understand that the 922 will have to wait a bit for streaming. Okay I can wait (I dropped Netflix streaming so I am waiting...).

But when I tried to look at online content in Firefox, the addin will not load as non-compatible. I use FF Ver. 7.*

A bit of research found this:

That XPI has a maxVersion of 6, it needs to be updated for Firefox 7.

​

You could save that extension to disk, and open it to bump the maxVersion yourself if you feel adventurous.

​

If you don't already have it, download and install the 7-Zip program - it is a file archive utility manager program for Windows - free & open source.
7-Zip

​

Once 7-Zip is installed, right-click the XPI file and select Open with > 7-Zip File Manager

​

Once you see the contents of that XPI, locate the install.rdf file.

​

Right-click the install.rdf file and select Edit & your text editor will open. Locate the em:maxVersion ine and edit to read 7.0.* . Then use File > Save as... in your text editor and 7-Zip will ask you if

​

you want to save the changes to the archive - don't use any compression if you are asked about that.

​

To install en extension which you have on local disk, you can use File > Open File... or simply drag the XPI into the Firefox browser window.

​

You will need to test that extension to make sure it actually still works in Firefox 7.​

Sure enough the maxVersion is 6.0! Where are these guys? Unfortunately after editing the install.rdf file and saving, Firefox returns "corrupt addin" and will not load it.

So I have use Chrome which works. But I had to download Chrome just for Dish Online.

Seems that the addin guys should be on top of this...

I'm using Firefox 7 just fine. I honestly don't have a clue as to the XPI you are talking about.

Ditto! I'm using Firefox 7 with no issues also.
