So I had to change the add-on type to 2 in order to enable updates. I found the culprit: Add-On updates are only allowed for add-on types 2 (extension) and 4 (theme) but not for 8 (locale).

I looked at the update.rdf for some of the extensions I use and noticed they don't use the brackets {} if not using a GUID. Once I removed the brackets in the update.rdf file the updated version was detected and the update ran fine. Thanks for the tutorial! Well I spoke too soon.

When I try to find updates for my extension it says no updates were found though my update.rdf is a version higher and everything else appears to comply with the tutorial above. Thanks for any help.

This means that the update check will fail unless the user happens to have logged in to the webserver lately. Is there anything in the RDF specification that allows you to ask (or get) webserver credentials so firefox can check the update file? Great tutorial BTW!!
