Just a quick post to tell you how to get hybridfox 1.7 (for connecting to AWS or eucalyptus/UEC clouds) working with the Firefox 5.0. Firstly download the 1.7 version of the plugin and save it to disk. This will give you an XPI file.
Now rename the file you’ve downloaded from .xpi to .zip and then extract the .zip file. The file you need to edit is called install.rdf just open this file in you favourite text editor. You’re looking for a line that says:
<em:maxVersion>4.2</em:maxVersion>
and you need to change it to:
<em:maxVersion>5.*</em:maxVersion>
Now zip those files backup, and once done rename the .zip to .xpi. You should now be able to install hybridfox 1.7 in firefox by using the install from file method of adding a plugin.
Update!
Now Firefox 6 is due to land anytime soon I thought I’d update this post and let you know the same tweak can be done to make hybridfox work in Firefox 6. Just change the maxVersion to 6 of course!
<em:maxVersion>6.*</em:maxVersion>
Just for reference I’m using the hybridfox-1.7.000089.xpi version of the plugin.
