Re: Installing XForm.xpi throws error

Hi Marc,

I'm not much of a Linux person, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

Suggestions:
1) make sure that you are running the nightly and it isn't just popping 
up another window using another running firefox version and try the 
install again.
2) download the xpi locally and run it in the nightly.

I would think that even if you were using the Firefox 1.01 that the .xpi 
would install.  I just wouldn't think that it'd run.
