Greetings,
I use to play with x2go plugin some time ago, when it was available as a xpi firefox extension. I have visited your wiki page about the plugin, but as you know, it is not updated.
Could you give me some hints how can I make a page where the user access it and download automatically the plugin, install it on the client machine ?
This option is still available, right ?
Thank you

Heinz has been working on that recently, but unfortunately no
documentation and code in Git yet.
@Heinz: any news on the status???

Hello Mike,
Our new dev server is still not ready for all our use cases. I'can only ask to be patient, because we will need to offer the plugin files on a high release frequence (due to the new browser generations).
Regards,
Heinz

Hello Vasilica,
there is no recent XPI available at the moment, because there is no way to build the XPI automatically or with reasonable effort. Alex, Mike and I are building up a new development server to merge our ressources in one place. On this server there will be a kvm instance running Windows so we can build the needed windows XPI and the Windows Client without accessing not always available local machines. For Linux we don't have xpi build files in our git as this was again done completly manual. As Firefox is released on a 6 week base, we really need something making more sense than completly local an manual work. Besides the XPI, you can use the x2goplugin offered in the package archives:
~$ apt-cache search x2goplugin x2goplugin - X2Go Client (Qt4) as browser plugin
To answer your question correctly: No, the XPI is not available for more recent versions of Firefox than 4.0 at the moment.
Regards,
Heinz

Just two quick side notes on this:
Mozilla is going to release something similar to Ubuntu's LTS (Long Term Support). In MozillaSpeak, it's called an ESR (Extended Support Release). ESRs will occur once a year. See http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/01/11/1313247/mozilla-announces-long-term-... for more info.
Also, the default setting for plugins is supposed to switch from "don't run if version doesn't match whitelist" to "run unless blacklisted" in Firefox 10.

Even this is a good news for companies, I think the plugin will be installed mostly by end users.

This again is a really good news! Thank you for those links. At least it will still the best to offer tested and recent versions to the world... which is challenging.
