hi drgoochmobile,

It looks like your installation is still at 1.1 of Clearfox, check the admin console to make sure that you update to version 1.2 of the plugin.

Cheers,

Bingo!

That fixed it. It's now installed and working. What a great idea for a plugin! Thanks ;\!

Just one question... is it possible to modify things in the XPI (like inserting your own logo)? And what was that feature you said you included in this new version?

Hi everyone,

I found out what the problem was: apparently zipping up files on Windows works just a tad differently than it does on *nix. I'll spare you the details: I believe the problem has been fixed and I updated the plugin jar and the plugin source code over here.

Cheers,

k, so it's definitely an environmental thing then because you were both able to install the plugin from Jivespace but you weren't able to install it from your own servers. Can do me a huge favor? Can you guys download the xpi file that on your server and email me (aaron@jivesoftware.com) that xpi file? When the plugin initializes I create the XPI file dynamically and I think something is going wrong at that point.

Cheers.

I am having the same problems. I also tried installing from the Jive link your provided and that did work.

Aaron,

It works just fine when I install it from Jivespace.

Here's how I installed mine:

Downloaded from JiveSpace Website.
Went to "System->Plugins->Add Plugin".
Hit "Browse" under "Install a new Plugin".
(browsed to clearfox.jar and accepted).
Hit the "Upload" button.
It now shows up in the "Installed Plugins" dialog
There's now a page at /clearspace/cf-about.jspa.
When I click on clearfox.xpi, it asks me to accept the website. I say yes.
It downloads and installs in about 2 seconds. Firefox needs to restart.
I restart.
There's nothing.

Hope that's helpful in some way.

EDIT: There is nothing in the Error Console.

hey guys,

Right now I really don't have a clue what the problem could be, but just to rule out something environmental: can you try installing the Clearfox for this community? It's available here:

http://www.jivesoftware.com/community/cf-about.jspa

Also, can you go to Tools --> Error Console. Is there anything in that error list related to Clearfox?

Thanks for your patience!

Cheers,

Aaron,

It does not show up under the Sidebar menu. It does not shop up anywhere at all in Firefox (not even in the Extensions dialog after install). It simply disappears.

I am working with full Administrator privileges on Windows XP SP2. I am using Firefox version 2.0.0.9. I've tried the same thing on a computer with no addons installed but the default ones, and the same problem occured.

Just in case, though, here are the extensions I have installed (it's a bit long ):

ColorfulTabs 2.0.7
ColorZilla 1.0
DNSStuff Toolbar 1.6
ErrorZilla Mod 0.2
Firebug 1.05
FireGPG 0.4.3
Google Notebook 1.0.0.18
Greasemonkey 0.7.20070607.0
IE Tab 1.3.3.20070528
LinkAlert 0.7.2
McAfee Site Advisor 26.5
MeasureIt 0.3.6
Save Session 1.3.0.5
Session Manager 0.6.1.5
Talkback 2.0.0.9
Torbutton 1.0.4.01
URL Fixer 1.3
Web Developer 1.1.4
YSlow 0.8.0

Anyways, I tested it on a default install version and it still didn't work. Any ideas?
