Automatic update of an extension does not work
===

I wrote an update.rdf for an automatic update service.

In the add on overview an can do a right click "search for new update" and firefox finds the new version on my test webspace, download it and "install" it. But after the restart I have the same version like before, it didn't changed the xpi files. Here are some pictures and the code snippets. Mabye you have an idea.

After the restart I have version 0.2.3 again with no changes.

I created the signature with MCCOY and the hash value with the alternate hash generator for windows
