It's finicky about versions, but it certainly works fine
with Firefox 1.5...

hello lowell,

i don't think this has anything to do with versions.
i have tried many versions of forecastfox from
addons.mozilla.org on 
several 1.7.x versions of mozilla and i have tried it on the
same 
versions of mozilla on freebsd and gentoo and winxp. it
worked ok 
everytime and everywhere except on freebsd.
therefore i suspect there might be an issue in freebsd
mozilla/seamonkey 
port or an issue in forecastfox that is run into on freebsd
only.

what do you say? or am i missing something here?

many thanks,

martin
