An easy way around this problem is to make a trivial change to the grd file, such as adding a single whitespace. If you look at the history of, eg, browser_resources.grd, you will see people doing this frequently. - a On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 3:37 PM, Mohamed Mansour m0.interact...@gmail.com

Hi Jack, Is the detail on hover of the toolstrip meant to work in Chrome? I see that you have a content script that looks like it wants to implement this, but it doesn't seem to do anything for me. Are you storing the preferences on the server? That is what it appears like to me. Nice work
