sorry for opening this but ive seen you have updated a file for the pop up problem. My question is how to update that single file or xpi with the updated file?

  1. Go to about:support, search Profile Folder and click Show Folder button.
  2. Close Firefox.
  3. Go to the extensions folder, open the XPI with a ZIP program and extract its contents to some folder.
  4. Modify the extracted files.
  5. Add the modified files back to the XPI. Just dragging the files from the folder to the ZIP program usually works.

Notes:

  • The first time you start Firefox after the changes, you may need the -purgecaches flag.
  • Firefox will detect that the add-on has been modified and will disable it. To prevent that, set xpinstall.signatures.required = false in about:config (this preference only works for Firefox Nightly and Developer Edition).

am not any kind of programmer but i tried doing it following the steps provided and i got "Duplicate add-on ID found."
I tried messing a bit around and then got this "Starting with Firefox 53, new add-ons on this site can only be WebExtensions."

So, Firefox is dead? And there will be no update shipped for X-Notifier Reloaded? The Yahoo-Fix only works on 2 of 3 accounts. All live/hotmail-accounts don't work. New-Tab-Tools just broke and Tab Mix Plus won't be finished when WebExtensions are introduced,

@Cok3Zer0 All my Hotmail accounts work perfectly on Firefox 57 (I just posted a fix for an issue introduced by today's Nightly). You will only need to allow legacy extensions.

will you create v.26 with the fix as on 4.1.4?

Will there be an update? That would be really appreciated.
