 Must have Firefox 3 to try it out

Anyone wanting to test this add-on, it is for Firefox 3 only. If you have Firefox 2, it won't install.

It will install on 32 bit & 64 bit Linux. And on 32 bit version of Windows. And on the Intel versions of OS X.

See here to pick your download:

P.S.> it only checks web sites that use HTTPS and not HTTP like BBR. If you want to play around and check out PERSPECTIVES options, you can go to »https://mail.google.com to test.

I'd love to upgrade to FF3 but every week or so when I bring it up to test, I get a long list of FF Extensions that still have not been made compatible with FF3 (or have a separate FF3 version). Once the list shrinks to only list those that I have installed but do not use, I will make the switch. Until then, I must stay with FF2 if I need the extension.

Although there is a 64-bit Linux version, it is still experimental and must be downloaded and installed manually. So I guess my Ubuntu 64-bit install will have to wait a bit to get this extension.
