The format for XPI's is described here...@Hiba,<br /><br />The format for XPI's is described here:<br /><br />https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Building_an_Extension<br /><br />In my experience, Firefox can be really sensitive to things like whether you put a slash at the end of a filename in the chrome.manifest file. Do the wrong thing and it's likely to fail silently.<br /><br />The best thing to do is follow a working example.

[plugin exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No method found matching name newInstance and arguments [com.sun.java.browser.plugin2.liveconnect.v1.JavaNameSpace, java.lang.Integer]]<BR/><BR/>Lost about 6-8 hours wondering what the heck I had done to destabilize my code, finally punted and put the error into Google to find you very helpful insight. <BR/><BR/>Thank you, thank you! (and thank you Sun for attending to this soon)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408635813851178206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964816804623588850.post-34245320244254890102008-11-20T02:58:00.000-08:002008-11-20T02:58:00.000-08:00Hi,thanks for this very helpful information.
