Does the x2go plugin update automatically or do we need to force a download of the new plugin on existing installations to get the newer version? Thanks again - John
the update does not get initiated automatically... Even if you go to
Firefox's Add-on manager and try to update the plugin/add-on manually
(right-click on the x2goplugin Add-On), it states that there are no
updates available.
Currently, the only way of updating is uninstallation of the plugin
and then opening your x2go-site location again. At least that's my
experience... An auto-update functionality would be nice...
... searching the web ...
Here is an article from 2008 that explains firefox add-on update
provision on add-on download URLs.

In addition to that, I think for firefox 3.5 https locations are
obligatory now (encryption)...
Implementing an update mechanism for the plugin should become some
sort of priority, because if the plugin gets spread (among test users)
you surely want to ensure that spread plugins stay up-to-date...
Please let me know if help is needed...
@Alex+Heinz:
Due to the https enforcement, it might be good to offer the x2go.org
Root-CA (if you have any) on the x2go homepage so that people can
install that in their browsers...
If you need a self-signed Root-CA and Certificates for encrypted URLs
let me know.
Greets, Mike
