Wow - the Cooliris firefox extension is awesome!

[Rabrrrrrr]

I just happened across it (or for the grammatically impaired, "acrossed it") a little while ago and installed it - brilliant!

It allows one to look at the target of a link in a little pop-up window just by moving the mouse over the link - and one can then even navigate in that window - and all one has to do is move mouse off the window and off the link, and the window disappears.

It's especially handy at DU for getting a look at what's in a thread without the bother of clicking on it and then having to go back to the page.

I highly recommend it!

4. I have a problem with trying

to get extensions. I get a warning that says

"software installation is currently disabled. Click edit options to enable it and try again"

Well .. I have done everything I can think of when I open 'edit options' to 'enable' .. and it will NOT allow me to get extensions. I used to, and I love them.. but ....

6. First, the obvious question - you are using Firefox, right?

[auntAgonist]

7. Mozilla Firefox ver. 1.5 yes. n/t

8. No idea - I just went through the tools options

and can't find anything about the possibility of turning off extension installation or downloading.

19. Edit >> Preferences >> Content >> [] Warn me etc. maybe? n/t

[auntAgonist]

20. nope that did not work when I tried it earlier ...

I even tried multiple combinations of checking and unchecking options. nothing works. I may just do a fresh install of FF and see if that helps. I've checked my XP settings and can find nothing that affects my FF. :shrug: maddening!

thanks ! :hug:

21. ok, good luck. I didn't really think it would. I have update.mozilla.org

under the exceptions, but that is only for Firefox updates.
