Extension Auto Updater?
Has anyone written an updated for an XPInstalled extension? I can't access LXR to find the interface for downloading a file of the net, but it should be doable: check versions (say an XML file, using xmlhttpequest), and the XML file would contain the location of an aupdated jar file, which would be copied to the chrome/ dir, thus overwritting the existing one.
Only issue would be that you can have 2 installs - profile and program directory.
