I can't say it was always pleasant work, but I'm very happy about the result. Piggy Bank 2.x had very nice ideas but the implementation was a little crude. Piggy Bank 3.0 is something I can show to my fellow Apache developers without having to resort to the "you know, it's a research prototype" when they WTF me ;-) > I was disappointed when Piggybank gave me the following message when I > restarted Firefox: > > TypeError: PB_Extension.getInstance is not a function Hmm, never seen that before. > Is there a way to "clean out" my old installations of PB, so that I can > get a fresh install?

Here is what you can do to clean up your firefox profile: 1) uninstall piggy bank and restart firefox 2) after you have restarted, check if piggy bank is really gone (in the extension list) 3) if piggy bank is gone, close firefox 4) go to your firefox "profile" directory (google it up if you don't know how to find it) 5) move the "piggy-bank" directory somewhere else or, if you don't care entirely about your previous data, delete it. 6) open "prefs.js" and remove all the lines that contain "piggyBank" 7) restart your browser and install Piggy Bank 3.0 fresh Let us know if that fixes your problem or not. -- Stefano Mazzocchi Digital Libraries Research Group Research Scientist Massachusetts Institute of Technology E25-131, 77 Massachusetts Ave skype: stefanomazzocchi Cambridge, MA 02139-4307, USA email: stefanom at mit . edu ------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
