Nonsequittal Rumblings

I’ve figured out the way to install Firefox extensions on this prototype edition – download the actual xpi file for the extension, unzip the file, modify install.rdf to matching target application version, zip it up as xpi again, and install. That was trivial. I’ve even managed to modify Pithy 0.2 so ctrl-Q will exit out of the application completely.

The version info in question is like this:
<em:targetApplication> <!-- Netscape -->
<Description>
<em:id>{3db10fab-e461-4c80-8b97-957ad5f8ea47}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>0.5.6+</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>0.5.6+</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>

Now that Firefox has been freed from its nest, Thunderbird is getting ready to follow the suit.

The change since version 0.9 is quite nice. The interface (especially the icons) are polished up. The bugs in RSS are worked out mostly. Yay, for Thunderbird!
