[higgins-dev] Higgins browser extension on Firefox on Linux?

[Timothy Hahn <hahnt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am attempting to use the Higgins browser
extension.  I am using the higgins.xpi (version 0.9.0.6.2) from this
site: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?r=1&protocol=http&file=/technology/higgins/hbx/update/

I am able to install the browser extension
but never get the "Higgins Setup Wizard".  After re-starting
firefox after installing the extension, I see the Higgins logoed button
on the toolbar, but pressing it has no effect.

Looking at the _javascript_ error console,
two errors (and a bunch of warnings) show up.  The first error indicates:

Error: Cc['@higgins/common-higgins-service;1']
has no properties
Source File: file:///home/tjh/.mozilla/firefox/co4e3x6l.default/extensions/%7BF4AA70E5-B427-4cbf-9B11-AF4732AB2144%7D/components/soap.js
Line: 24

The next error is:

Error: Cc['@higgins/common-higgins-service;1']
has no properties
Source File: file:///home/tjh/.mozilla/firefox/co4e3x6l.default/extensions/%7BF4AA70E5-B427-4cbf-9B11-AF4732AB2144%7D/components/higgins.js
Line: 30

followed by a number of warnings pertaining
to the file: .../.mozilla/.../extensions/.../chrome.manifest
(by hand-editing the CR-LF characters
to be LF characters and deleting leading spaces in the chrome.manifest
file, these warnings can be avoided.).


Does anyone have some advice on how
to get past this situation?

Also, I've noticed that firefox seems
to stop attempting to run the Higgins Setup Wizard after 4 failed attempts
during start-up.  Is this expected behavior?

Thanks in advance,
Tim Hahn
