Converting a Mozilla Application Suite Package to a Mozilla Firebird ExtensionWednesday May 14th, 2003Brian King writes: "I want to inform you of a FAQ I wrote on converting your Mozilla package to a Mozilla Firebird extension. It was something I have been intent on discovering for a while, and thought it was a good idea to document it for the benefit of others who wish to make the switch. "This is posted as part of the Developer's Notes section at mozdev.org, and if anyone has any other tips & tricks, code snippets, articles or related, I would be glad to publish them there." i'd like to see details on allowing the extension to be installed into the user's profile directory. http://www.mozillazine.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10288#76610 is it possible for an extension to ask the user where to install to? Yes. It is possible for an extension author to install to any location he desires. Right now, XUL extensions can be made to work when installed into either of the users's profile directory or app install directory. --Asa The linky install is a good example of giving the user choice on where to install http://linky.mozdev.org I have intention to write a developer note about this issue too. at first i totally misread the article and thought that this person was providing information on how to turn the seamonkey suite into a firebird extenstion. |
