With Firefox’s rapid release cycle, add-on developers have a difficult time ensuring their code is up to date. However, with a cool little tool that only uses javascript, html, and css, we should be pretty safe to run under newer versions of Firefox.
Since RESTClient is open source, we can head over to GitHub and download a copy of the source. GitHub has a great feature to download the source as a zip. Take this zip file and edit the contained file: install.rdf Simply change the maxVersion to 10 or so.
<RDF:Description RDF:about=”rdf:#$ll2uD1″
em:id=”{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}”
em:minVersion=”3.6″
em:maxVersion=”10.*” />
Save the file back into your zip. Open up Firefox’s Add-on Manager and drag the zip file onto the Add-on Manager.
Your newly upgraded plugin is now available for your version of Firefox!
