Description Alberto Camahuetos S.M. 2008-06-12 22:21:56 UTC 
After upgrading to the latest version of Firefox in Ubuntu Hardy (b5 to rc1), the beagle extension (version1.10) is designated as incompatible by Firefox and is deactivated.

(I also reported this bug in Launchpad).

The current maxversion is "<em:maxVersion>3.0.*</em:maxVersion>". That should cover all firefox versions upto and including 3.0.

I think its best to wait till Firefox3 is released and the set the correct maxversion accordingly.

We have the correct maxversion. Indeed, beagle-0.3.3 had the older extension which was not even supposed to work correctly with Firefox-3. beagle-0.3.6 was released with a Firefox-3 compatible extension.

Regarding Ubuntu, if they had just changed the maxversion to 3.0b5 to include Firefox-3, then expect things to break. Extension maxversions should not be just increased without consulting with upstream if the extension is at all compatible with the new version.
Comment 3 Alberto Camahuetos S.M. 2008-06-14 15:55:27 UTC 
The version I was using was the version of the beagle extension available at addons.mozilla.org, not the one in the Ubuntu repositories (which, obviously doesn't work with Firefox 3).

I don't know the procedure in this case (if you would depend on the result on Ubuntu or close the bug or maybe ad some information at the extension download page which states it only works with beagle 0.3.6)
