T&L Publications

well i am home now.. tried it. cannot get it to work.. each time i try to drag the file into a open window, it just opens the zipped file..Hmmm

Hi dac,

Try change *any* references to 4.0 to 5.0, that means all of them.
But when i tried this i couldnt find any "4.0" so maybe you should try to install without changing anything.
Try using a fresh copy of the original xpi file.

I just tried it and although i didnt install, it did ask me if i wanted to install it in a window.
I dragged the xpi file (it has to have an .xpi ending) into Firefox over a reply right in this forum and that's when it opened and asked me to install or cancel.

ok, will try it... brb

ok, did not work quite as instructed, but i did get it to work,,,
what i had to do was download the file.. then just drag it onto this page,,and it asked me to install now.. so i did.. works..
i did not have to open the file with winzip or anything.. just drag the file into a open window,and follow
directions..

Hi again dac,


That's what i was trying to explain. I didnt change anything either.

Ok, so am i 'da' man now? hee hee

ya you is... now i need to try to sneek it into work and install it, but how to get past IT control..
i am thinking thumb drive...
i am only blocked by web patrol as far as downloading it.

Hi again,

Well im glad it worked for you finally. Good luck with it.

My problem is that when i go to bookmark a page, it always wants me to navigate to the folder every time rather than remember the folder. It's a pain in the neck.

why does FF not wake up and cater to our request
got FF8.0 here and once again new tab home page does not work again..
i cannot find any links to a few file.. anyone here know of a link somewhere ?

need new tab homepage for FF 8.0

I use FF 8.0 and have it set up. Not sure how I went about it but this link looks familiar. When I open a new tab (clicking the + sign) the tab opens and goes to my home page.

hmmm, must be a setting somewhere then i must search for..
old version worked just fine.. same as you said..

There are also several add on that will do it like this one:

A very simple tabbed browsing extension that loads your homepage when you open a new tab. If you have multiple homepages, the first is chosen.

Add to Firefox
