Any API to allow extension writers to specify min (and max perhaps) version of Firebug?

[Dhruva Ray]

Hi

Is there any API (or convention) to allow Firebug extension engineers to specify the min version of Firebug (possibly max version too)? A declarative way would be ideal with the appropriate error message thrown within the extension Firebug panel.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Dhruva Ray

There was <require> element available inside install.rdf, but abandoned due to much complexity and impact it would have to AMO.
See this thread:

In any case, you can dynamically check the current Firebug version using:
Firebug.getVersion() method and adjust the extension UI accordingly.

Thanks Honza for sharing the link. We will use the getVersion() method suggested by you.
