Using Page-speed with Firefox 7+ (in my case, simply "Aurora")

[Dan Beam]

Hey page speed developers and hackers,

I was wondering if page speed will continue to embed a max version in
it's install.rdf while Firefox has lowered up it's shipping interval
(to 6 weeks it seems like)? I recently wanted to use page speed with
Firefox Aurora (which is currently 7.0a2) and I found that just
changing the maxVersion to * allowed me to use it (as I had a guess
Firefox 7.* wouldn't really operate much different than 6.*).

Is the reason we're not just trusting future versions because of a
lack of QA/testing? Why not remove this maxVersion if it will be a
pain to update?

Just wondering,

P.S. The steps for hackers to allow this to work in 7.* (and above)
are given in 1 (split-up) line of bash (tried from OS X):

prevdir=$(pwd) && \
tmpdir=$(mktemp -d -t page-speed) && \
cd "$tmpdir" && \
curl -sO https://dl-ssl.google.com/page-speed/current/page-speed.xpi
&& \
unzip -q page-speed.xpi -d page-speed && \
sed -ire 's/maxVersion>6\.\*/maxVersion>\*/' page-speed/install.rdf
&& \
cd page-speed && \
zip -qr "$prevdir/page-speed-aurora.xpi" . && \
cd "$prevdir" && \
rm -rf $tmpdir && \
echo "Drag and drop $prevdir/page-speed-aurora.xpi to Firefox to
install";

P.P.S. NOTE: You'll need Firebug installed before you install page
speed (which you can get at getfirebug.com or specifically [for the
moment] at http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.9/firebug-1.9.0a0.xpi).

We are not ready to release the new version. In the mean time, please

try our Chrome extensions if needed. http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/using_chrome.html or Page Speed online at http://pagespeed.googlelabs.com/pagespeed/

Thanks.

You can use Add-on Compatibility Reporter to
https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-TW/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

After installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, your incompatible
extensions will become enabled for you to test whether they still work
with the version of Firefox or Thunderbird that you're using.

The fix is ready. You can manually update the fix at https://dl.google.com/page-speed/1.12.0.1/page-speed.xpi, or it will auto-update itself.

Thanks for your patience.
