Managed to install the new version. Nasty piece with config and security checks, though. Oh, well, at least I can use Fangs now, thanks! Great!

Yep, passive user - no bug reports:( I've been using Fangs since 2005 at university level teaching of Accessibility and web development and there has been at least two or three occasions when the plugin stopped working due to a Firefox update. Can't recall the exact dates, but I think first time was migrating to FF 2 and the second time somewhere around 2.0x... (Sprry - no reports and no exact dates!) Pain in the ass part comes from Fangs being such a good tool in teaching and lightweight evaluation of accessibility. I really like the plugin and the work you have done! And from that usefulness and compatibility issues sometimes arises the frustration (also behind this posting)... Good thing that you'll update it - thanks in advance! And yes, I'll submit bug reports from now on;) Hi Peter!

What do you mean by "Fangs has been a major pain in the ass with the compatibility issues for many years"? I have only received one bug report since 2005 where someone complained about a compatibility issue (and it wasn't form you). And that issue was caused by a different extension. Anyway, I'll try to update Fangs and make it installable in FF3 sometime during the summer. Hey!
