Extensions Coming for Firefox 3 Beta 5

I have finished preparing both CoLT and Googlebar Lite for Firefox 3. Since the official add-ons website is not accepting extensions with a maxVersion of 3.0.*, and in the interest of trying to reduce the number of releases I have to make, I’m going to wait and release these updates when Firefox 3 beta 5 is officially released. The official release shouldn’t be too much longer from now, seeing as the source tree has already been frozen in anticipation for a new beta build.

Stay tuned for further updates. I’m really excited about Firefox 3 … I hope you are too!

Minor Tweaks to Profile Tutorial

Yesterday, I made a few updates to the Firefox Profile Tutorial here at this website. It turns out that the -P command line option is case-sensitive (as it should be). Firefox 2 apparently doesn’t care about case, but the new Firefox 3 builds do.

All of the official documentation I read also mentions the -ProfileManager command line option. I’m not certain if Firefox 3 wants the camel-case, but I’ve updated the tutorial to reflect this information. Let me know if you see any other errors in the tutorial.
