I have a question about the log of Firefox Browser.
I am implement the automatic update feature of my Firefox extension, after following the tutorial at http://www.borngeek.com/firefox/automatic-firefox-extension-updates/ and getting some helps at post Firefox extension automatic update feature, the update feature is still not working, but there are more information provided at the Firefox log. Can anyone please give me some advices or take some time to take a look at the log output. Thanks.
My development environment is
- Firefox 5 on Ubuntu 11.04
- Tomcat 6 server
The log output of a remove and re-install my extension is
