For a few days I have been using Firefox 1.5 and one of the things that really bugged me was the lack of Diggler.

The tiny little button clearing the location bar is clearly something I got used to (the other features always came in handy too by the way). So I looked at the files and got it running on Firefox 1.5 after just a small tweak.

First I download the xpi file These xpi files are really just zipped archives, so unzipping them are a breeze.

$ unzip diggler-0.9.xpi 
Archive:  diggler-0.9.xpi
  inflating: chrome/diggler.jar      
  inflating: install.js              
  inflating: install.rdf

The install.rdf is basically the only important file here. Open it with your favorite editor and find the line:

<em:maxVersion>1.0</em:maxVersion>

Now we change that number a little (I used 2.0, so we're safe for a while) and we update the zipxpi file.

$ zip -f diggler-0.9.xpi 
freshening: install.rdf (deflated 57%)

All set, ready to install and use!

To make things easier for you, I've put up the new version for download
