Extension (#ext)	version	Author	Description     Important information about addons.mozilla.org ► Important information concerning use of addons.mozilla.org Be sure to check the all important Developer's comments that were intended to be seen and the link to the developer's home page under "Advanced Details" at the bottom of the addons page and use the "expand" link found there.  Firefox 3.0 Beta Testers If you are Beta testing and there is not an up to date version and you need to install the latest and have even turned off compatibility testing you will still only be able to install at addons through the Advanced Details and on to the "Complete Version History" But there is still no indication of minVersion-maxVersion that was actually assigned -- they can differ between products.   Was recently added "Ignore version check" but apparently tries to immediately download, hit F5 then you can download from the turned green "add" button.  Still doesn't indicate the version range assigned to the addon.

Options shown reflect choices in Status-4-Evar 2011.01.17.02.3:

• Seems to make no difference whether "Show status text in the location bar is checked or not" -- but isn't it the purpose to show this text. Marking as checked just in case it does make a difference.
• Uncheck "Always show the toolbar Progress Meter"; otherwise, empty hole, and hovered links will be truncated before the progress metering box.

• 2011.01.17.02 (2011-01-28) -- still works on on 4.0b10 but same version fails on on 4.0b11pre so the problems are Firefox -- it is in 4.0b11pre that the extension started failing and still broken on the 29th by no longer showing status text for anything (hovering links).
