I need you to update our SubFinder plug-in to work with version 3 first. We gotta keep your mom working to pay for your sister's college now that you are done! [Did you try renaming the .xpi to .zip, editing the install.rdf file at the top level of the zip by changing the maxVersion number to a higher value (3.5 to be safe, I don't recall the recommended maxVersion for 3 offhand), renaming back to .xpi, and reinstalling? I still doubt anything changed enough between versions for it to not work. If necessary, do the work in a temporary Windows account with a fresh install of Firefox to a new location to see for sure, then uninstall/install the new version and upgrade when it probably works just fine.] FYI

Maine???? Do you have a closer shot? When I clicked on it it went to a music video. Thanks - -Kevin [It was atop Belter's Bump in Connecticut a few days before I made this post. As for closer shot, no; my camera doesn't do zoom. It's extremely bare-bones, really; I've contemplated getting a better one, but I'm still unsure it's a good investment as I don't take pictures very often. For the music video thing, search Google for "rickroll" and read the Wikipedia article.] Hi,

Maine????

Do you have a closer shot? When I clicked on it it went to a music video.
