Life, Passions, and Follies Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:09:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Drew Loika http://www.premagination.com/2007/10/20/firefox-2008-versus-ie7-ie-wins/#comment-10369 Drew Loika Mon, 22 Oct 2007 05:02:42 +0000 http://www.premagination.com/2007/10/20/firefox-2008-versus-ie7-ie-wins/#comment-10369 <em>sigh</em> FACT: I know how to use Google and I found the Mozilla help on fixing broke extensions FACT: I used that info and exited Firefox and deleted the three extensions.* files. FACT: staged-xpis didn't exist FACT: I still had almost as many problems as I had extensions FACT: Just for giggles I decided to do it again today, and this time there WAS a staged-xpi's folder FACT: My disappeared extensions have returned and all are working?!? Sweet. Gotta love it when software makes you look like an idiot. Believe me or not I tried that fix before I ever posted on the Mozilla forums in the first place, but for whatever reason it worked today. So cross me off the list of outstanding issues, but I stand by my claim that something screwy was introduced with 2.0.0.8. Regardless, thanks to the forum members who replied for all the suggestions, and thanks to Mozilla for the (newly reinstated) #1 browser on the market. sigh
