Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 433371

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Davide Crivelli]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5

Dom Inspector  - as extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/6622) - cannot be installed because compatibility is declared as "3.0a1 - 3.0.*", and current version (b5) doesn't match the "filter".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Browse to https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/6622
2.Click on "add to firefox"
3.Wait for the extension to download and see the error message
Actual Results:  
Extension can't be installed

Expected Results:  
Extension is downloaded and installed

DOM Inspector page (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/inspector/) isn't referring yet to the extension. the "Use the conveniently named "DOM Inspector" component in Bugzilla." part isn't effective, and leads to misunderstanding (DOM Inspector component can't be found)

What error do you see when you attempt to install?

Comment 2

[Davide Crivelli]

"DOM Inspector 2.0.0 cannot be installed because it's incompatible with 3.0b5."
(it's not actually the exact error message, i'm translating it)

Are you using Mozilla's version of Firefox or the one provided by your linux distribution?

Comment 4

[Davide Crivelli]

It happens both with the version shipped with my distribution (Ubuntu 8.04) and with the package downloaded from Mozilla website.

By switching between Mozilla and Ubuntu's Firefox you will have hit bug 433371. You must delete the extensions.rdf and extensions.cache files from your profile.
