User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050406 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050406 Firefox/1.0.3

IE View (GUID: {6e84150a-d526-41f1-a480-a67d3fed910d}) is listed as 0.8+ - 1.0
in the listings, but selecting it from the front page list gives the error:
"Incompatible Extension or Extension No Longer Available" pretty regardless of
the Firefox version selected.  Is this a problem in the system, or is there
something I should change in my install.rdf?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Firefox Extensions link from top menu
2. Click ieview (#5 in the list at the moment)
3. Boom

Actual Results:  
Error message as above

Expected Results:  
Loaded the main IE View listing page

I'm assuming it's a symptom of the same problem that the Tools|Extensions|Update
function never finds new IE View versions.  In my tests, and via reports from
various users, those with versions below 1.0 never see the new 1.0 (and soon
1.2, in all likelihood) versions.

p.s. more than happy to do additional groundwork/tracing to narrow down the
error -- just let me know what sort of sniffing you'd like to see.
