Description

[Carl D. Thompson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

When I upgraded to Firefox 2.0 the Stumbling plug in was also upgraded.
Since the upgrade occurred, Stumbling comes up as the first page when I open the browser, even though it is not the nominated home page.
Whenever I try to open a window in the browser, such as to vote in an on-line poll, the new window that opens contains the Stumbling home page and there is no way to access the poll page.
I cannot find any way to delete Stumbling as a plug in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Stumbling plug in.
2. Close Firefox 2.0 and then reopen it.
3.

Do you mean StumbleUpon? Have you contacted the author for support?

Unless you are indicating that the extension is purposely malicious and needs to be removed from addons.mozilla.org, this is not the place for extension support. You might try #firefox or #addons on irc.mozilla.org for support if your browser is not operable.
