It seems, that the developer Marcus Campbell (Scuttle) doesn’t have time at the moment to take care about his Firefox Add-on Scuttle.

Therefore I publish here a short instruction how to modify the Add-on to work with Firefox 3.

1. Download the Add-on here
2. Rename the file scuttle-0.3.1-firefox+fl.xpi to scuttle-0.3.1-firefox+fl.zip
3. Extract the zip-file
4. Open the file install.rdf in an editor and search

   <em:maxVersion>2.0.0.*</em:maxVersion>

5. Change the version-number, e.g.:

   <em:maxVersion>3.0.2.*</em:maxVersion>

6. Generate a new Zip-file of the project with the modified file and change extension to .xpi
7. Open the Firefox 3 add-on window and drag and drop this new file

Now you can use this Add-on also in Firefox 3. The Add-on is not very complex, I guess it will do also with further versions of Firefox.

For all, who don’t want to do this modification them self, you can download my modified version: scuttle-0.3.2-firefox+fl.xpi.

Changes against original:

• Version changed to 0.3.2 for better differentiation
• Version will run with Firefox Version: 1.0 – 3.0.*
• I added also a German translation, but there is still also English included

[Update:]
Since FF 3.5 my modified Version (V 0.3.2) is not working any longer. Therefore you can download the next Version 0.3.3 here, this will work with FF less than version 4.0

Semantic Scuttle is an open source social bookmarking system and a further development from Scuttle. Some well known hosts uses Scuttle, e.g. Alltagz.de.

In this short tutorial I will give a short description how to install Semantic Scuttle.
