Firefox switched it off but with the add-on I switched it back on again and it works ok, as far as I can see. In Ubuntu 10.04 I still had 0.73 and there the right-click menu was distorted. Upgrading to 0.74 resolved that too. Both OS versions have been reported again to Mozilla as "working OK". Mozilla should remove the message that it is not working with 5.0. 73, Peter Hi Pat,

It said that Propfire was incompatible but after installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter I was able to let it run again. I had problems in the past to right-click and see the content but that works OK now. I use Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) with the standard desktop. I will try this in Windows asap. I have reported the add-on as working ok to Mozilla. 73, Peter Hi Pat,

I didn't realize how hooked I was on propfire, I kept looking at the bottom of my browser for the SF but it wasn't there! I missed it enough that I was considering downgrading, thanks for a great plugin. 73, Kerry Pat,

The only time Propfire is visible is when I have accessed the Customize Toolbar function. Is there something else I must change? I notice FF 4.o Status Bar URL info only comes up when I am bringing up a webpage, else there is no Status Bar. 73, Ed - AD7GR I am using XP and Firefox 4.0.

I was about ready to go back to FF3 but I see you said the latest 1.73.18 is compatible. I didn't see ver. 1 anything but I see 0.73.18 so I tried it. It tells me it won't install because it's not compatible, did I foul something up? 73, Kerry, WD5ABC I upgraded to Firefox 4 and realized it broke the Propfire plugin.
