How can I find which version of Firefox does the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin support ? I can't find it anywhere.
As Firefox now has it small development cycle, it could be nice if Google point us to a page where we could find the supported browsers versions.
For information :
I'm using Firefox version 5.0 with no problem.
I saw on Google Groups people saying that the version 8.0 works too.
Actual version of Firefox is 11.
EDIT 1 :
Last supported version can be found here http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/update.rdf as suggested by Thomas.
<em:minVersion>3.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>16.0.*</em:maxVersion>
EDIT 2 :
The file pointed in EDIT 1 do not seems to exist anymore, so the best shot it looking at the commits logs, here : https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/list
ex:
r11637 update for Firefox 23 / Mac
r11636 update for Firefox 23 on Windows
The DevMode plugin supports all versions of Firefox from 3.0 to 11.0: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/update.rdf
There's always some lag after a Firefox version is released, but a preliminary version of the DevMode plugin is generally available "unofficially" from the GWT Google Groups a few days (or even hours) after the Firefox release, pending code review before it graduates to the SVN repository. The problem is that the plugin has to be recompiled against the updated Gecko SDK, which is released a few hours or days after Firefox.
…and then the http://gwt.google.com/missing-plugin/ also lags a few days/hours behind (it hasn't yet been updated for Firefox 11 at the time I write), but the plugin for Firefox 11 can be downloaded from the SVN repository.
Mozilla is hiding their ftp server with "old" releases pretty good.
Here is the URL: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/11.0/

I was developing GWT application but as I came to know google doesn't support GWT developer plugin for Google Chrome now, provide me any other method to test my application of GWT
SuperDevMode is the new way of debugging GWT applications.
If you want to use the older GWT developer plugin then you can if you use an older browser. The latest version of Firefox that can be used is version 24. IE 11 works fine too.
GWT Development Mode will no longer be available for Chrome sometime
in 2014, so we improved alternate ways of debugging. There are
improvements to Super Dev Mode, asserts, console logging, and error
messages.Read Note

I am working on a GWT project right now. I have Firefox 30, and Chrome 35, but cannot seem to find the plugin for Dev mode on both these browsers. Do I need to download an older version of these browsers, or am I missing something?
See this answer for details. Essentially, the developer plugin is not supported on newer browsers, you must use "SuperDevMode" instead.
Right now I am setting up Motodev.
Its a Android Development Suite built on Eclipse, created by Motorola.
What is needed is the Android SDK. Check, got that, newest version, everything is set with that.
Now it says I need the ADT Eclipse plugin. Version 20.0.1, currently mine is v18.
I know where to get it, I can easily get it, but I am curious, where should it be installed? Currently I dont have eclipse I am just using MotoDev. But since Motodev asks where the SDK location is, and says my ADT plugin is out of date, I am assuming I have to install the ADT in the SDK directory. But is there somewhere more specific to put it? In a specific folder? or just in the top level of the SDK directory?
Thanks for your time.
Unfortunately, you can't use ADT20 with MOTODEV Studio 4.0. The plugins had some API changes between 18 and 20 that made them incompatible with each other. You will need to roll your SDK back to 19 until we can release a newer version. I wrote about this about a week ago on the MOTODEV Studio blog.
We're done with the engineering work on the new version. It's just a matter of getting the push to the web server scheduled. I expect it to be ready by late next week or early the following week.
Until then, if you need to use ADT20 for Jellybean development, use Eclipse for Mobile Developers plus the MOTODEV Core Plugins (using Help>Eclipse Marketplace). Most of the functionality of the installed product is there, but without the dependency on ADT. See the blog for details on how to set that up.
I have a Firefox Add-on, I wrote it with the Add-on Builder, it worked in Firefox 11.0. I copied the files into a set of directories on my hard drive and used cfx xpi of the Firefox Add-on SDK 1.6.1 to generate an .xpi and it worked it Firefox 11.0. I edited my main.js in the Add-on Builder and downloaded the .xpi and it works in Firefox 12.0. I modified the main.js on my hard drive, ran cfx xpi, and then when I tried to load the resulting .xpi, it says that it can't install because it is not compatible with Firefox 12.0.
How can I make this work?
For some reason, Add-on SDK 1.6 uses these compatibility settings:
<em:minVersion>10.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>12.0a2</em:maxVersion>
So the add-ons it produces by default will only be compatible with an alpha version of Firefox 12 but not the final release. You should take the advise from the documentation and edit python-lib/cuddlefish/app-extension/install.rdf. It would make sense to use 14.* as maxVersion because addons.mozilla.org already lists it as a valid version.
Update: Current versions of the Add-on SDK have more sensible compatibility ranges. However, if you need to change them - starting with Add-on SDK 1.12 the file can be found under app-extension/install.rdf (current documentation).
Probably too late but complete doc about min/maxVersion of generated xpi and changing them is here.
I have GWT 2.3 installed; Today I tried to update the FF dev plugin but since it was updated it says
"This add-on will be installed when Firefox is restarted"
... but each time I restart FF I can see the same note :( So restarting does not make any effect I tried more than 5 times yet :S Before the update attempt all worked fine.
The plugin link is https://dl-ssl.google.com/gwt/plugins/firefox/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi but maybe the plugin version is somehow is not for my GWT 2.3? I am not pretty sure here :S
So my question is can I rollback the new fail installed plugin or what should I do to restore my previous FF dev plugin?
Need more information to properly answer. But I'm going to assume you are using Firefox 11 and the browser plugin won't install. You can install the GWT plugin for FF11 from here: http://acleung.com/gwt-dev-plugin-ff11.xpi
Google tends to lag behind by a few weeks when new Firefox releases come out as the plugins have to go through proper testing before they are pushed to the official "missing plugin" page. To get the latest plugin when a new version of Firefox comes out, check out the Google Groups for GWT, as Alan Leung (a GWT dev) will post the latest builds within a day or so of release.
