Hello, I want to manually parse a "update RDF" file, which follows the same spec as the RDF file used by the AddOnManager to find the download link of the latest version supported by the current version of Thunderbird. Is that function available to be called from within an AddOn? This question is not about extracting the parameter of em:updateURL from the index.rdf! I already have the file I want to parse, I just do not want to re-invent the wheel and write a parser on my own. Additional question: Is the format of that update RDF changing after TB60? Are there any information avail already? Thanks John

update.rdf is likely to go away before tb68. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=857458 There is no function to parse it.
