I have to say that this extension is a really elegant addition to Firefox for OC'ers, so many thanks to OX.
Kind regards

hey guys, pardon the newbness but how do i install?

now before you quote others, i have unzipped the file toa directory, and the rdf file doesn't install anything, open it with firefox and all it does is open up a blank tab. i drag it onto my firefox window and the same comes up. what am i doing wrong?

First make sure you have the right version.
Second: Ctrl-O (or File>Open File) and open the xpi file.... wait 3 sec then click install now... restart FF then your done.

omg found my problem, i was trying to install using the contents of the zip file, not the zip file itself. cheers

Its great to get things like this

, I wonder if it will also work under linux??, It would be good if it did.

Grafton26 · 31st May 2006, 6:06 PM

For those who downloaded it instead of running it (like me) , you can install it by right clicking it and choosing Firefox to open, my system didn't know what it was untill I did that

It should, there shouldn't be any OS specific JS code in there, it's all fairly simple.

i am a complete coding novice but i wanted to have a crack at modifying this extension for another forums i browse taht uses vbulletin3. now i've got it to install into firefox ok and it displays but no matter what i try it displays the little menu item and under it the first link which would be equivalent to the Overclockers.com.au - Main Page item then a menu separator, then "error with menu generation script" and thats it.

if anyone could download my .xpi and have a look at my code that would be awesome.
