User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1 When trying to update extensions for GMail Notifier, Image Toolbar, and Image-Show-Hide the update page says these extensions will work with RC1. But when I install I get the error message that they do NOT work with it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to update website 2. Find the extension 3. Click the install link Actual Results: The browser gives me the message that they are not compatable although the webpage says they should be. Expected Results: Installed the extensions. I'd like to see these updated to work as I use them quite often.

This is probably the browser not realizing that the update.rdf should override the install.rdf.
(In reply to comment #1) > This is probably the browser not realizing that the update.rdf should override > the install.rdf. So is there a way for me to correct this? Or do I just wait for a fix? Thanks.
> GMail Notifier http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=173 Gmail Notifier 0.3.3 provides its own updateURL, but this indicates maxVersion == "1.0" so I assume it has been updated since the original report (it is installable with app.extensions.version == "1.0") > Image-Show-Hide http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=232 The download link for Image-Show-Hide 0.1.4.4 points to version 0.1.4.3 which is maxVersion == "0.10" (also per UMO) > Image Toolbar http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=243 UMO fails to return any update data for Image Toolbar 0.4 ( Firefox is checking https://update.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=1&id={A4732521-77D9-447E-A557-B279AC923F06}&version=0.4&maxAppVersion=0.10&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=1.0 ). Looking into the .xpi I noticed that the em:id was listed after the em:targetApplication->em:id (which is perfectly valid) so I assumed that UMO might be using the wrong id, so I checked against the Firefox id and found the missing data there ( https://update.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=1&id={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&version=0.4&maxAppVersion=0.10&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=1.0 ). This also showed another extension using the wrong id and playing with the version uncovered various others being affected. Please change: Hardware -> All OS -> All Severity -> major

That happens to be bug 271272. We use regex instead of XML parsing. This applies to GMailCompose, BBCode, Context Highlight, Image Toolbar, Translate Page, Foobar Controls, Yahoo! Companion, Wikipedia. See also Bug 273550 I will fix them.
