I believe this is a result of the internal version number of firefox changing. Extensions determine whether or not they are compatible with the installed version of firefox based on this number. i.e., if your extension says its compatible with 0.6-1.4, and the new version firefox is 1.5, it will report itself as incompatible (irrespective of an unchanged extension api). IIRC, they have recently made a change where an extension developer can use a kind of wildcard on the version number. This allows them to claim that they are compatible with 1.5+ so future revisions under the 1.5 branch will still be recognized as compatible.
i know that perl may not be the best way to learn how to program, but it may not crush creativity and ingenuity like some other "less flexible" languages might. kids are noted for their way of thinking of things differently (just got done reading Ender's Game, heh heh). you don't need to tell TIMTOWTDI to them twice;)
when the various world governments are through beating up on their poor geeks to protect big business (yes, the ones who back them) they'll realize that they have undercut their genious. who'll fuel big brother then?
um, hello? you must be using some terrible ripper to make your mp3s. try www.musicmatch.com if your cdrom is crappy, that would explain your mp3 problems, but if yours supports digital output (like mine) mp3s are not only cd quality, but cheaper too.

This isnt exactly what I meant to reference in my previous post, but it still may shed some light on the subject.
