446655 - Add-on fails to get available updated version

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

Description

[Basil Hashem [:baz]]

I'm not sure if this is something particular to the install.rdf of LDS Toolbar or a more general issue with the Update service or even Firefox not receiving the update information correctly but here's the situation.

0) Using Firefox 3.0.1 on Mac
1) Install LDS v1.35 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/5740). (Since it's compatibility range is 1.5-3.0b5, you may need to set extensions.checkCompatibility to false)
2) Restart Firefox
3) Attempt to update LDS Toolbar to the latest version
4) No update is delivered

An update was expected since there's a newer version of the add-on 1.4.1 available on the site.

Here's the Tamper Data/HTTP header info when the Update request was sent from Firefox 3.0.1:

1.35 is higher as 1.4.1

Confirmed, good catch.
