iViewFox compatibility...

I have been having issues with iViewFox ceasing to work every time there's a FireFox update. Not sure why - it seems to be a problem on some computers and not others. Turns out there's a version compatibility string in one of the Add On's files, which can be edited...

The file is install.rdf, and it's located at ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/.default/extensions/iViewFox@forboden.com/install.rdf. It's an XML file that can be edited in your favourite text editor. In the file there's a line that says:

<em:maxVersion>4.0.*</em:maxVersion>

which I changed to:

<em:maxVersion>7.0.*</em:maxVersion>


Restarted FireFox, and the Add On seems to be functioning correctly.
