Making VMware Console work with Firefox 3.0.1

If you're running VMware Server 2 and require the console plugin to work with Firefox, you can use this trick to make it work once you update to Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1:

Just edit the VMware Console plugin install.rdf and change the:

3.0.0.*

to

3.0.*
or
3.0.1.*

and restart Firefox. Now update Firefox and all should work fine.

The install.rdf should be located in the plugin folder (~/.mozilla or similar on UNIX and Document and Settings or User/username/Application Data on Windows. Example:

C:\Documents and Settings\cmihai\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\eqz4a1i8.default\extensions\VMwareVMRC@vmware.com

Just search for VMwareVMRC.
