EXTENSION UPDATE W/SOFTWARE UPDATE TESTS
To test Extension Update across major application updates with a nightly build, you need:
- some extensions (installed)
- preferably some test extensions that you can hand edit
Open the file compatibility.ini in your profile and change the line that reads something like:
LastVersion=1.0+_2005071915/1.8b4_2005071915
to have a number different than the one shown, e.g.:
LastVersion=1.0+_2005071915/1.8b4_2005071900
Now, open prefs.js in your profile and:
add:
user_pref("app.extensions.version", "5.0");
(or some other number much larger than the current version)
and make sure there is no line like this:
user_pref("extensions.lastVersion", "5.0"); or similar.
Now start Firefox. A wizard UI should appear and allow you to check for updates to your incompatible extensions.
