Manually updating FF Add-ons
- by cpp_fanatic
My application installs my Firefox add-on (by copying an my.xpi to [FF_inst_dir]\extensions).
This application interact with my FF add-on.
This application periodically has updates (.xpi with new version).
When my application is updating it does next:
Remove folder and content [FF_inst_dir]\extensions\MyExtension
Copy new my.xpi to [FF_inst_dir]\extensions
However, when I restart FF I see:
FF ask me about install add-on. I agree.
FF remove my.xpi (it's ok)
FF remove folder and content [FF_inst_dir]\extensions\MyExtension
I think that FF try to remove old plugin.
Thus, I havn't installed plugin.
How it can be installed correct?
