Checking for Updates

Firefox will check for updates to privacybar by requesting http://www.metropipe.net/privacybar/update.php. This returns a chunk of RDF which describes available updates. This must be installed somewhere on MetroPipe's server for the release. You can get the PHP source here. Note that this update script could be used to update other extensions too, as Firefox will pass the extension GUID and version to this script. See the source for the specifics.
