OpenSource is maybe probably the best thing about the web. Utilizing OpenSource programs, be that as it may, can once in a while be disappointing on the grounds that when a few projects are refreshed, others are definitely not. More often than not, you should either sit tight for updates of your non-useful projects or postpone the refreshing of different projects to hold usefulness. With mozilla support, be that as it may, you can as a rule update yourself. Give me a chance to disclose to you how.

 

1. Download the augmentation you need to refresh to your hard drive.

2. Rename the augmentation from *.xpi to *.zip3. Open the record with your .zip application.

4. Open "install.rdf" with your preferred content manager.

5. Change the "maxVersion" setting as in the accompanying model.

Supplant maxVersion=1.0+ WITH maxVersion=1.5.*

6. Supplant the "install.RDF" record with the one you simply altered.

7. Rename the augmentation from *.zip to *.xpi8. Introduce your refreshed expansion.

 

Congrats!! You just refreshed your augmentation, which much of the time will work with the higher form. It is that simple.

At this point, you have made sense of (accurately) that an XPI document is only an altered ZIP record. It isn't actually the equivalent, in any case.

Likewise, you will likewise see that the record "install.rdf" is really an XML document, which additionally bodes well. Numerous OpenSource applications put establishment settings and other significant guidelines in XML records.
