Hello!

The Building an Extension
tutorial<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Building_an_Extension>has a
helloworld
extension example <http://mozilla.doslash.org/stuff/helloworld.zip>, and the
readme.txt says to:

1. Unzip this package to any location, e.g. c:\dev

2. Put the path to the "helloworld" folder (e.g. c:\dev\helloworld) in the

"[email protected]" file and move that file to

[profile folder]\extensions\

3. Restart Firefox.


It should show a "Hello World" red in the status bar, but I'm seeing
nothing..

Either nothing using this other overlay.xul:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<overlay id="sample"
         xmlns="
http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<statusbar id="status-bar">
  <statusbarpanel id="panelId" label="Hello, World"  />
</statusbar>
</overlay>


any idea what can be wrong here?

The extension is successful installed, but the "Hello World" is not shown..

(using Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 3.6.10)
(yes, I updated maxVersion value in the example)
