To build the .xpi, run this command:

cd source ./build.sh

When upgrading keyfixer to a new baseline version, copy platformHTMLBindings.xml using these commands:

mkdir temp cd temp unzip /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/omni.ja cp chrome/toolkit/content/global/platformHTMLBindings.xml .. # or wherever

(Here is the original readme.txt from the extension generator)

This extension was generated by the Extension Wizard at http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/extensionwiz/ . This extension is compatible only with Firefox 1.5 and above. Most of the files in this package are based on the 'helloworld' extension from the Mozillazine Knowledge Base.

You can build an XPI for installation by running the build.sh script located in this folder. For development you should do the following:

  1. Unzip the entire contents of this package to somewhere, e.g, c:\dev or /home/user/dev
  2. Put the full path to the folder (e.g. c:\dev\keyfixer on Windows, /home/user/dev/keyfixer on Linux) in a file named keyfixer@mavaball.net and copy that file to [your profile folder]\extensions\
  3. Restart Firefox.
