I've just released a calendar.xpi for Mac OS X based upon CVS 2004-11-02.

It doen't work with Firefox 0.10.1

You can get this xpi to work with Firefox nightly 20041103 by following this
procedure:
1) install the calendar.xpi under Firefox 0.10.1
2) when you try to activate calendar under Firefox 0.10.1
   nothing seems to happen
3) activate 'tools->page info' and close this window again
4) you'll now see the dreaded 'iCal component nor registered' error
   dismiss this window
5) quit Firefox 0.10.1
6) start Firefox 20041103
7) calendar will work

!!! Failure to follow the above procedure *exactly* will lead to an
un-recoverable error !!!

Installing directly under Firefox 20041103 completely disables all other menus
than the first two - no recovery seems to be possible. You'll have to re-install
Firefox with a completely new profile

If you install under 0.10.1 and then immediately start 20041103 *without* first
having tried to start calendar under 0.10.1 you'll get an error about an
incompatible xpi. No recovery seems to be possible. You'll have to re-install
Firefox with a completely new profile

Over to Calendar. Is this still a problem when installing in Firefox 1.5?

Calendar extension is no longer maintained.
