539361 - Mapquest/AOL Toolsbars can be installed in Firefox 3.6 but show no UI

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Seen while running Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100105 Firefox/3.6. Also seen while running Windows 7

STR:
1. Install the AOL toolbar from http://toolbar.aol.com/aol/download-eula.htmlor Mapquest Toolbar from http://www.mapquest.com/toolbar
2. The toolbar is added to Firefox and shows in the Extension Manager, but there is no UI.

Perhaps this is not a good idea?

nominating to get this on the radar for evaluation.

From the install.rdf file in both:

      <em:minVersion>1.0</em:minVersion>
      <em:maxVersion>3.*</em:maxVersion>

I suspect that they aren't actually compatible, and we're just seeing some incorrect maxVersioning. We'll have to relnote it, won't hold the release for it, kinda sucks.

cc'ing Kev and Nick for the outreachery; not sure if this is the right component.

This has been fixed.  Problem with chrome.manifest

Please retest.

Legacy extensions are no longer valid in Firefox 57, closing.
