422765 - Javascript Debugger XPI won't install to Firefox 3.0b4

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Venkman JS Debugger, defect)

Description

[Tom Clowers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/3.0b4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/3.0b4

Even though the add-on page for the Javascript Debugger states that the extension is compatible up through beta 4 of Firefox 3 (3.0b4pre) it won't install and stops with an error of "JavaScript Debugger 0.9.87.2 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.0b4".

In looking at the "install.rdf" file I found that the max version for Firefox 3.0 compatibility is set at "3.0b2".

<em:targetApplication>
	<Description>
		<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
		<em:minVersion>0.9</em:minVersion>
		<em:maxVersion>3.0b2</em:maxVersion>
	</Description>
</em:targetApplication>

Saving the XPI locally and editing the install.rdf file to have the correct max version of "3.0b4" allows the extension to be installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install/run Firefox 3 beta 4
2. Navigate to Javascript Debugger Mozilla Add on URL "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/216"
3. Click on "Install Now" button.

Actual Results:  
Javascript Debugger would not install and modal dialog with the following message is displayed, "JavaScript Debugger 0.9.87.2 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.0b4."

Expected Results:  
Javascript Debugger installed and prompted to restart Firefox before using.

There's been a new version in the Queue for some time now, but there's a big backlog in the queue so it's taking it's time. I've updated the current version (which isn't at the top of the list in the dev cp, which is why I'd missed it) now --> FIXED.
