Uppity compatibility with new Firefox versions

or FF 3.0b4 as of now.

or FF 3.0b5 as of now.

I tried using this extension in Firefox 3b5 in Ubuntu 8.04 RC, and it works fine. The only thing is a very small detail is that the dropdown arrow to the right doesn't get the border around it, and I'm not sure if that is due to Firefox, CuteMenus (which has FlatStyle on), the Gnome theme that Ubuntu sets Firefox with, or Uppity itself. However, other than the 1 pixel border issue, technically the plugin seems to work perfectly in Firefox 3.

A workaround for advanced Firefox users:

1. Go to about:config and add a new boolean property extensions.checkCompatibility set to false.
   • Note this will try to run ALL of your old extensions including Uppity; if you are afraid, then don't use this route (there are others you can search for online)
2. Restart Firefox and enjoy!

without changing checkCompatibility it can be installed in Firefox 3b5 this way:

• download uppity-1.4.14.xpi (arantius.com/misc/firefox-extensions/mine/uppity-1.4.14.xpi)
• rename it to uppity-1.4.14.zip
• extract
• open install.rdf in a text editor (notepad?)
• find the line
  • <em:maxVersion>2.0.0.*</em:maxVersion>
• change to
  • <em:maxVersion>3.0b5</em:maxVersion>
• remove the line:
  • <em:updateURL>...arantius.com/misc/firefox-extensions/mine/updates.rdf</em:updateURL>
• save and rezip everything
• rename zipfile to .xpi
• use drag and drop or file>open file to load it in firefox
