Firefox 2 Support for SecureLogin

Problem

Firefox 2 doesn't support Novell SecureLogin.

Solution

This isn't exactly a 1-2-3 process, but here's how you can get the Firefox 1.5 extension working with SecureLogin:

  1. Uncompress the .xpi like a 'zip' file.
  2. Edit the 'install.rdf' file as follows:

    Change:
    <em:maxVersion>1.5+</em:maxVersion>
    to:
    <em:maxVersion>2.0+</em:maxVersion>

  3. Re-zip that file with a .xpi extension and modify the file name to suit the new Firefox version supported.

This has been working fine for me since FireFox 2 was officially released.

Note: I first tried it by just clicking on the .xpi file to install, but this was not working. However, after adding it via:

firefox.exe -install-global-extension slomoz-2.0_v6.xpi 

... it's working fine!

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
