I'm not up on my acronyms so "AMO" is a mystery but maybe that's not important. I've figured out that it's probably better to goto the author's website anyway. For example yesterday I couldn't get Flashblock to install into a new Firefox profile, but it worked OK from the author's website. [Apparently the Mozilla servers have problems sometimes, and some routes/methods work better than others. That was a temporary glitch and it's working OK today.] I only have 3 special add-ons (extensions/themes) on my list that I want to always use in Firefox and SeaMonkey so that's not too much trouble. It would be more of a problem for someone who has a large number. -- J.Q.P.
