Mozilla Update Relaunched

Mozi­lla Update finally relaunched this wee­kend and the Deve­lo­pers Con­trol Panel was tur­ned on as part of this release.

This allows me to admi­nis­trate my exten­sions and make sure that the infor­ma­tion is current, so I have uploa­ded the latest ver­sions of both the User Agent Switcher and Web Deve­lo­per exten­sions. These upda­tes still go into a mode­ra­tion queue before appea­ring on the site, but hope­fully that will only take a few days.

If you want the latest news about my exten­sions this site is still the best place to check out, but it will be nice to have the offi­cial exten­sions site up-to-date as well.

    the update icon pop­ped up for me both here (winXP Pro) and at work (Win2k Pro), I upda­ted User Agent Switcher in both places.

    No pro­blems at work, it crip­pled fire­fox here at home. I could tell it was dying while loa­ding the exten­tions (I’ve expe­rien­ced this before) and it hap­pe­ned right after the update, so I star­ted Fire­fox in safe mode and unins­ta­lled Use­rA­gentS­witcher, clo­sed Fire­fox, then reins­ta­lled from your site and everything is fine again.

    You said in a pre­vious post that you should unins­tall the old ver­sion before ins­ta­lling the new ver­sion, is that still the case? If so, does Mozi­lla Update do that automatically?

    Yes, it is requi­red if you are upgra­ding from a ver­sion older than 0.6.4 and no Mozi­lla Update does not do that automatically.

    See the FAQ for more information.

    Is there a way to check for a cer­tain ver­sion before sug­ges­ting the auto update? If not, then any user who mis­sed the last update (due to it not being in Moz’s auto update), is going to have a bor­ken brow­ser after they do the update, which is sug­ges­ted without warning.

    I assume that most peo­ple who this would effect have already gone through the pro­cess by now, but for other exten­sion deve­lo­pers in the future, Moz pro­bably needs to add a fea­ture like this if it doesn’t already exist. It is another one of those “not quite ready for prime time” pro­blems that keeps me from sug­ges­ting my aunt use Firefox.
