Tested in Firefox 1.0 . It installs and uninstalls correctly, and it works as
expected. Good job. I think it can be useful for Macromedia fans (sorry, not my
case).

Didn't try for Thunderbird 1.0 cause my current version is 0.9. BTW, Mike, the
extension only overlays status-bar, hence in my opinion it should work for
Thunderbird 0.9 (and also 0.8 and 0.7, I don't know more versions). I tried to
change minVersion in install.rdf to 0.9 but after doing it Thunderbird still
says that the extension is only valid for Thunderbird 1.0. Do you know the reason?

If you are tried version 0.9.6, then it should install into Thunderird with no
problems. I have tested it with thunrderbird 1.0. 

If you are looking at the version i originally submitted (same link, version
0.9.4) then it wont install because I didnt have the releveant entries in the
install.rdf file.

The mainr eason I only let it work in Thunderbird 1.0, is that that is the only
version i tested it in.

thanks...

Marking tested+ according to comment 1.

I'm a bit concerned about the usage of the Macromedia name here.  Then again, we
have the google toolbar.

Comment 5

[Mike Chambers]

fyi, I work for Macromedia so the use of the Macromedia name should not be a
problem.

Also, the extension has been updated and will work with Thunderbird 1.0.

It has also been localized into a number of languages.
