[Web4lib] Firefox 1.5 and OpenURL referrer... any luck?

[Eric Hellman]

This is fixed.

We looked at FireFox 1.5 and didn't expect to have any compatibility 
issues with the extension, but we forgot to change the entries in the 
install and update files that indicate the version compatibility. 
Because we implemented auto-update for the extension, it's likely 
that when you changed the install.rdf, the browser still wanted to 
check for the update.rdf file online.

Having said that, be sure sure to let us know if you discover any 
quirks with the extension in Firefox 1.5. It was only after feedback 
from users that we were able to diagnose some rather subtle 
extension-conflict problems in 1.0.

OpenURL Referreris a Firefox extension that  turns embedded COinS on 
web pages into OpenURL 0.1 or 1.0 links, and it also adds linking to 
Google Scholar. It's available at http://www.openly.com/openurlref/

Sorry for the temporary inconvenience!
