what happens if you extract the addon into /usr/lib/icecat/extensions? You need to extract the .xpi file to an empty directory under /usr/lib/icecat/extensions. The sub-directory must have the name as the em:id field specified in the addon install.rdf file. Cheers, Giuseppe -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
