How would I find out the Application Id of a Firefox clone? In particular I am
interested in the Id of Tenfour and cannot find any documentation on this. I would
like to support a user running one of my extensions, and I figure that I need to edit
install.rdf with the correct App Id.

tia,
Axel

Look in application.ini in the install directory.

Running this in the Error Console might also help:

Components.classes["@mozilla.org/xre/app-info;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIXULAppInfo).ID

Asking the user to open the Error Console and then pasting the line in,
doesn't work?

Axel, in the menus: Web Developer > Error Console. It's a standard
feature of Firefox and Thunderbird (in Thunderbird, it's Tools > Error
Console).

Psst. And SeaMonkey as well. In fact most toolkit/xulrunner applications
should have it.

-silent -jsconsole assuming their command line handlers are set up
correctly.
