FireFox Addon: TagSifter for firefox 3.5
If you found this then you probably use the TagSifter addon for the Firefox web browser. Well I do and when I upgraded to Firefox 3.5 I found that I did not want to live with out it.
I wanted it badly enough to learn something new.
I had never done any firefox addon development but I know a fair bit of java script from my work as a web site developer so I thought I would take a try.
Well I got it working with out much of any trouble. All I had to do was tell firefox that it would run on 3.5 and restart the program and it "just worked".
so here are the steps.
- Locate your user firefox user profile directory/extensions*/{3b71bd20-ee7e-11d9-8cd6-0800200c9a66}/
- Open the file 'install.rdf'
- On line 8 change '3.0.*' to 3.5.*'
- Save file.
- Restart firefox.
If it was working before it should work now. Note that onlty use the Bookmarks->sagsifter functions so the popup and sidebar have not bee tested.
Use at you own risk.
* = to locate your user profile you can look here.

I modified the install.rdf file as above but Tgasifter is still not working for me. I cannot choose any bookmarked site from the dropdown tags when I click the tagsifter on my bookmark toolbar. It just shows me "EMPTY"
