Re: [orca-list] Links List - firefox extension

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

Well, that's what I get for only testing it on my development machine.

This is my first time creating an installable (.xpi packaged) extension, so 
I probably did something wrong packaging it up. I'll fix it and send another 
eMail to the list.

Sorry about that...

What does it do? Looks as if it is nothing but a placeholder.
When I invoke it, I cannot see any links list. It starts a second
instance of FF, which I've to close by invoking "killall".
After doing so, I get the message that the last FF session has crashed
when restarting the program. I get placed in the extensions list, where
"links list" is shown, and I have to close this message.
When I don't kill the second FF instance, FF starts up without any
messages.
But besides from this strange behavior, It does not do its job in any
way.
So what is it all about?
I still want to emphasize my view that this all should belong to Orca,
and I got confirmed in my point of view.
