And one further little tip that I have just discovered. There are a number of Extensions (Translate and PrintIt! in my case) that haven't been updated for Firefox 2.0 and so won't install. A possible way round this, which may work, is to right click on the Install icon and use the save the link command which will save an xpi file. Rename this as a zip file and extract the rdf file inside it. Open this file in Notebook and change the Firefox version info to 2.0 or greater. Save the edited file, drag it back into the zip file and rename the latter as xpi. Open this by right clicking and using Firefox which should install the Extension. It did seem to work in my 2 cases.
