User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050906 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050906 Firefox/1.4

ENV: MSWin XP / Firefox 1.5 Beta 1
Chatzilla is broken when I downloaded from hacksrus:
http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/xpi/chatzilla-0.9.68.5.xpi

The download @ 
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=16
works, and is also the one "advertised" on the #chatzilla IRC channel.

If there are going to be two servers for this extension, they need to be in-sync.

The top hits in google for 'chatzilla' have consistently been:a
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/
http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/ directed me to
http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/

Aside, http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/ does not include
the word download.

Aside 2, http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/ shows a screenshot on the
main page of a black background, which is not the default cfg on my comp.

Reproducible: Always

The version on the hacksrus.com website is not compatible with Firefox after
1.0+ (i.e. it wont INSTALL into Firefox 1.4/1.5/1.6). It is not broken in any way.

The decision to not put 0.9.68.5.1 (which has no functionality changes over
0.9.68.5) on that website is because Firefox users are never directed anywhere
near it. They are told to get extensions from addons.mozilla.org, the IRC
channel points them there too, and Firefox's auto-update will only check there.

The next release with functionality changes (and so applies to things other than
Firefox) will be posted to both sites (and will actually appear on the homepage
first).
