General Software Discussion / Re: How I fought Firefox and won

BTW, there's one really annoying thing when you are modifying the JavaScript code of an extension. It used to be that you could edit the code, re-package the .js file into the .xpi extension file and restart the browser to test your changes. Not any more. Firefox 9 detects that an extension has been modified and simply blocks it. There's no special error message, either. FF just claims the extension is incompatible with it, which is misleading and may send you looking for bugs in your extension code that just aren't there.
So, to see if your code works, you have to uninstall the extension first, then manually re-install it after every change. That includes the wait countdown every time. Security, I know, but it makes little tweaks like mine quite aggravating.
