When I click "Check for updates" it doesn't find anything.
When I do the same with a build before 6 April it finds two updates.
Regression between 1.9a1_2006040609 and 1.9a1_2006040613.

Can you provide the install.rdf's for those extensions or links to the xpi's to install them?

ForecastFox does not have an update that is compatible with trunk though there is a newer version of ForecastFox available. I suspect you found an update when using a previous version of the app and then checked for updates with the trunk. The updateAvailableURL wasn't overwritten before and trying to install the newer version would have failed.
https://addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=1&id={0538E3E3-7E9B-4d49-8831-A227C80A7AD3}
&version=0.7.1&maxAppVersion=3.0&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=3.0a1&appOS=WINNT&appABI=x86-msvc

Put those two lines back together and put it in the url bar and you will get. Note the <em:maxVersion>1.6</em:maxVersion> when the app version is &appVersion=3.0a1 and a 1.6 will not work with 3.0a1

I'd have to say this is invalid though I believe you did find a previously unfixed bug in that the EM would show updates it had found in previous versions of the app that are no longer compatible in later versions of the app.

Ah ja, of course not. Must have been a bit distracted.
