Hold everything. Now I do not know if anyone has tried to uninstall this yet using Fx v1.0.7 but I just tried as part of an extension test.
1. Used the EM to uninstall IE Tab and restarted Fx. 2. Closed Fx and deleted the XUL.mfl file and restarted Fx. 3. Opened the EM to re-enable IE View and the whole manager is not working. 4. Reinstalled Fx from backup.
Went through the process again except I uninstalled IE View first. IE Tab installed and worked fine. Uninstalled IE Tab and could not use Fx again.
Note* Removing the XUL.mfl did not cause this issue, never has before as I always remove it after uninstalling or updating an extension.
Something in uninstalling IE Tab is the issue.
Just a heads up and I would also like to know if anyone else has this happen. -- Fx Official Aviary v1.0.7 (20051021)__Tb Official Aviary v1.0.7 (20051021) |

 bcoolPremium join:2000-08-25 The Ozarks 4 edits | I'm sorry GK, I've been really busy at the homestead today so I haven't been keeping up. This is what I know so far (but not all from personal experience yet):
(1.) GK, when you install IE Tab using the .xpi from the link I provided, the plugin .dlls are automatically installed with the extension. After installation, the plugins folder is located in the same folder as the extension. FYI (2.) Before installing the IE Tab extension (at link I mentioned above), you must uninstall the IEView extension. (3.) After you have uninstalled the IE Tab extension, just to be safe, go into the Mozilla profile folder, extension folders and locate the {6FC13C7F-E0DB-4f3a-8974-03C45F539B74} IE Tab folder(if it still exists). Make sure after the uninstall that the Plugins folder has been deleted from this location before you launch Firefox again.
I haven't uninstalled yet so I got that to look forward to. Sorry for your woes! -- "in flagrante delicto" |

| reply to bcool No problem at all bcool I was just letting everyone know of the issues I had just in case they run into the same thing. Half the fun of trying out new extensions and themes let alone my almost daily install of Fx beta and Aviary as you know.
I did not remove the IE View as disabling it should be sufficient and do this with any one of my 59 other extensions when I install something similar.
It is a habit of mine to remove any folder after an uninstall plus cleaning out the prefs.js.
I posted a cleaned up version of my issues over at the EM.nl to see what if anything could be causing the issue that the dev. may know about. It appears the extension has been taken over by a new dev if I read the thread correctly. -- Fx Official Aviary v1.0.7 (20051022)__Tb Official Aviary v1.0.7 (20051022) |
